Keyword8K, Television
AbstractIn japan, Telecommunications Authority supposed the first grand schedule for launching and spread of UHDTV & advanced smart TV, called ‘roadmap’, in June 2013. The roadmap suggested that business-based 4KTV & 8KTV broadcast would be launched until 2020. In 2014, experimental 4K broadcast started and ‘roadmap’ was revised. Comprehensively, grand schedule for launching UHDTV in Japan is said to move up about 2 years.

8S-2 (Time: 14:15 - 14:40)
Title(Invited Paper) 8K LCD : Technologies and Challenges toward the Realization of SUPER Hi-VISION TV
Author*Takeshi Kumakura (SHARP Corporation, Japan)
Pagepp. 680 - 683
Keyword8K, LCD
AbstractSince 2011, we have successfully developed a number of 8K LCD prototypes for SUPER Hi-VISION. The latest prototype has an 85-inches panel of 7680 by 4320 pixels and the frame rate has been achieved 120Hz and the color system has been expanded to a wide-gamut which is compliant with BT2020. Furthermore, the input interface has been upgraded to a novel optical fiber system which is capable to transmit 256Gbps with one cable.

8S-3 (Time: 14:40 - 15:05)
Title(Invited Paper) The World's 1st Complete-4K SoC Solution with Hybrid Memory System
Author*Daisuke Murakami, Yuki Soga, Daisuke Imoto, Yoshiharu Watanabe, Takashi Yamada (Panasonic Corporation, Japan)
Pagepp. 684 - 686
Keyword8K, SoC
AbstractThe 4K2K Display market is expanding faster than expected. For this market, we introduce the world’s 1st Complete-4K SoC solution with hybrid memory system. This SoC supports High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) 10bit 4K 60p decode, graphics processing, picture blending, and external video input/output. These operations can be performed simultaneously with 4K quality. To realize that capability, we adopt highly efficient novel hybrid memory system with Wide-IO 266 memory and DDR3-1866 memory (24.4GB/s, 20Gbits).

8S-4 (Time: 15:05 - 15:30)
Title(Invited Paper) H.265/HEVC Encoder for UHDTV
Author*Mitsuo Ikeda (NTT, Japan)
Pagepp. 687 - 688
Keyword8K, UHDTV
AbstractIn recent years, the growing demand for ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV) services has generated the rapid development of UHDTV technologies. A key issue in providing UHDTV services is achieving efficient video coding. This paper presents an outline of H.265/HEVC, the latest video coding standard, and reviews the technologies it includes.
