Broadcast service provider NHK recently demonstrated a 33-megapixel Super Hi-Vision-format camera at the NHK Open House event in Tokyo.
The company claims the camera can shoot 7580 x 4320 video at 120 frames per second (that’s about four billion pixels per second).
NHK opted to boost the frame rate from 60 to 120fps once it was determined that moving objects appeared too blurry on Super Hi-Vision wall-size displays. The company also created a new analog-to-digital converter to address the video’s higher bitrate.
“The craziest thing is that this camera uses a 1.5-inch CMOS sensor that’s actually smaller than what’s found on conventional Ultra-High Definition sensors,” reports PCWorld. “It sounds like an impressive piece of tech, if a little gratuitous at this stage, given current HDTVs top out at 1920-by-1080-pixel resolution.”
“This 1.5-inch CMOS sensor is smaller and uses less power when compared to conventional Ultra High Definition sensors, and it is also the world’s first to support the full specifications of the Ultra High Definition standard,” notes DigInfo in its video report included in the post.
