sent to Congo instead. That's it from me, but now on BBC News it is | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
time for Click. How much detail do you really want | :00:10. | :00:20. | |
to see on your TV? I mean really? Really?! Really? Oh my goodness, | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
:00:30. | :00:41. | ||
This week on Click, we go in search of the ultimate screen. Is this the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
best that the human eye can see? And if so how long until the | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
upgrade is available? Fashion fit for robots. We explore how to try | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
things on without actually trying them on. We will also have a round- | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
up of this week's Tech News, bust plus a plush picture app for your | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
mobile, plus a social method of managing or meetings in Webscape. | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Welcome to collect, I'm Spencer Kelly. Common sense says there's no | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
point in inventing something if you simply can't appreciate it. Posh | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
because, which have a higher frequency range than the human ear | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
can hear, are lovely I'm sure. Personally I can't tell the | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
difference. So if you want the ultimate TV set, you have to have | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
at least the same level of definition as the human eye can | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
perceive. Now for smaller screens some companies are claiming we're | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
already there, but what about the big screen? Trying screens that | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
show images which are, for want of a better word, completely real. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Apparently that technology exists and it's being called 8K, although | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
you won't be able to buy it for at least another seven years. To | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
explain why, and which upgrades might be available while we're | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
waiting, Dan Simmons reports from the 8K capital, Tokyo. -- Why We're | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
waiting. A busy canvas of constantly moving | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
colour saturated life, with its unique style, the Japanese capital | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
is itself a feast for the eyes. And for the past few years, several of | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
the country's biggest Tech grans, led by National broadcaster NHK, | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
have been working out how to effectively replicate the quality | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
of what we seek on a display. -- Take brands. So we can literally | :02:35. | :02:44. | |
fool ourselves, at least initially, that we are there. In NHK's lobby, | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
four HD TVs show to make a pixels, but the future is much bigger. | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
These four screens together have about 25% of all the pixels in the | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
new display NHK has come up with. This is the equivalent of 16 HD TVs | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
to create one image. It's one of just a handful of 145 inch 8K | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
screens in the world, so called because its 8000 pixels across. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
It's being dubbed the Ottoman display, and in theory at least we | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
should be able to see why -- ultimate display. We can't | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
recognise the resolution any more. 8K is enough for the human eye, | :03:33. | :03:43. | |
:03:43. | :03:45. | ||
that's why we don't need any more. It is ultimate Teddy? Yes. -- TV. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
The most recent attempts by the industry to recreate a more real | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
life experience was 3D, which needed the viewer to be the right | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
distance from the screen, and traded off high resolution to | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
achieve the 3D effect. With 8K TV all of those problems go away, in | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
fact you actually want to get much closer to the screen to experience | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
all those pixels, the sharpness is retained. You can almost reach out | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
and touched what's there. The viewing angle increases to about | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
100 degrees, and that similar to your own viewing angle naturally, | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
so your peripheral vision is completely filled. It's a much more | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
in massive experience. 3D? Who needs 3D? | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
To give you an idea of what I'm seeing we've tried to zoom in on | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
just 116s of this 33 mega pixel video, where the detail is easy to | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
see. -- 1 16th. The ashes taking flight above the fire. The pollen | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
making a break for it. The droplets of water that make up a splash, and | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
H K have called this Super Hi- Vision, it comes with 22. To | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
surround sound. -- NHK. To produce these images special cameras are | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
needed that raise their own problems for their operators. Now | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
you can't judge focus simply by looking through the eyepiece, or a | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
flip out display, as neither offer the resolution to faithfully show | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
the captured image. You need a special high res monitor, this is | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
the small camera capable of shooting 60 frames per second. But | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
a new higher standard shoots 12033 mega pixel frames per second, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
delivering a much smoother image. That can currently only be shocked | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
by this beast. That's the camera, not the man on the back. -- be shot | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
by. Quite frankly, no! On-screen talent already bought at the idea | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
of every pimple being shown in high-definition, imagine what it | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
will be like when Super Hi-Vision arrives. -- already baulk. If | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
actors or reporters are nervous, it seems viewers love it. The 8K | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
displayed impressed everyone we show to when it was showed off at a | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
recent Japanese tech expo. This man told me he was amazed at how | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
precise the pictures were. Now that I've seen it, he told me, I can't | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
wait for the new era of television. It was the first time this man had | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
seen it as well, the panoramic aspect makes it feel like 3D, he | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
said, it's very impressive and real and I'm surprised. On that sense of | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
realism and depth makes 8K a better bet than 3D. According to NHK. They | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
have decided against broadcasting in the current stereoscopic 3D TV | :06:49. | :06:59. | |
:06:59. | :07:00. | ||
format. 3D TV, so called, the stereoscopic one, this is not for | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
general broadcasting services. We have the concern about problems for | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
children's health in particular. Broadcasting services cannot | :07:11. | :07:21. | |
:07:21. | :07:23. | ||
control the viewer's environment. Also how long the viewers watch TV. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
The lack of excitement about the 3D TV format has left the industry | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
looking for another way to persuade us to upgrade our HD sets. With 8K | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
TV still at least seven years away, and intermediate stepping-stone has | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
arrived in the form of 4K ultra high definition. Its eight mega | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
pixel images offer four-times the resolution of HD, and it's already | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
on sale. Starting at around $10,000! 4K will enable consumers | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
to buy bigger TV is that can display four times as much detail | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
as normal. And importantly 4K content is being produced now, that | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
means consumers will be able to watch it earlier than 8K content. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
While we wait for the movie industry to make its titles | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
available in 4K, other content is thin on the ground. With a few | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
dozen PC video games and some online film trailers available to | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
those with a powerful enough computer. You can make your own | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
movies with this 4K camera, but there's no bespoke disc or media | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
player for 4K content at the moment. And Streaming 4K media could | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
require an with of up to 20 megabits per second, as more than | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
twice the UK average. In the meantime it seems 4K displays may | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
be most often enjoyed using the humble Blu-ray desk. With the TV | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
using algorithms to guess what the extra pixels would look like. Up- | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
ressing the image. So would NHK start a 4K TV service to help | :09:03. | :09:12. | |
things along? Well, no actually. NHK is trying to go straight from | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
:09:22. | :09:27. | ||
HD, to 8K. There's no point in doing things twice. We need to | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
change consumer receivers as well. As the 8K flag-bearer NHK has | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
bigger things to worry about in the meantime, it needs to consider how | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
to deliver 30 make a pixel images that need a reliable connection of | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
100 megabits per second. Prices will have to fall. This 85 inch 8K | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
screen costs around $1 million, no it's not for sale! If you're | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
wondering how you get it up the stairs, that's 8K's third problem. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
They don't think we will have solid screens in 2020, we will have roll | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
up or fall double ones, that unlike these will cover the whole wall. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
It's just they haven't yet been invented. But having seen an 8K TV, | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
all I can tell you is I want one. And I'm not alone. The reaction | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
shows that this kind of media is acceptable and also needed. Needed | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
or wanted? Yeah, wanted! Get in ultra close to ultra high | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
