It is rare for a commentator to be bowled over by a technology. But that is what happened when Hervè Utheza, a former director of IPTV research for market research company, The Diffusion Group, witnessed an NHK-NTT demonstration of Ultra High Definition (UltraHD).
“I saw something that truly excited me - that is, made shivers run up the back of my neck and goose bumps appear, letting me know I was witnessing was a truly breakthrough technology, not just some repackaging, re-integration, or re-combination of the existing, but something capable of really changing the digital technology landscape,” said Utheza in an opinion piece for The Diffusion Group.
UltraHD has a definition of 7,680 pixels by 4,320, some 16 times the resolution of HDTV 1080p, or 3.75 times that of Digital Cinema 4K.
Utheza believes UltraHD is so outstanding that the industry should leapfrog straight to the standard and scrap Digital Cinema altogether.
Meanwhile, analyst Dean Bubley attended a two-day brainstorming session on IMS. He told NGN that while the event's aim was to look at how to make money from IMS services, it quickly focused on what bits of IMS are ready and what are not.
“IMS is not ready for mobile operators while for fixed it is technically ready in parts," he said. See his post for more detail.
