The Development and Standardization of Ultra High Definition Video Technology

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Signals and Communication Technology ((SCT))

Abstract

Video technology has evolved from analog to digital and SD (Standard Definition) to HD (High Definition). However, to provide a visual representation with high quality that satisfies the full range of human visual capabilities it requires further advances in video technology. One important direction is ultra high resolution video. Although UHD (Ultra High Definition) has already been standardized as a video format with spatial resolution 3840×2160 and 7680×4320 in an ITU recommendation (ITU-R BT.1769), actual deployment of UHD services have not yet been realized.
