Saw this link on The Digital Bits. According to an article at e4engineering.com, Japanese engineers have unveiled “Ultra High Definition Television”. HDTV is obsolete before it had a chance to catch on, since this new system offers 4,000 lines of resolution (compared to HDTV’s 1,000)! Since it’s taken HDTV about twenty years to become available, who knows when UHDV might show up. But that kind of jump in clarity sure sounds worth an upgrade. (The video discs however might be a bit ungainly. It takes three and a half terabytes for only 18 minutes of UHDV video!)[Archivist’s Note: Not sure where that “1,000” figure came from!]
