These days, most people will rather opt 1080p monitor or TV over 720p ones. 1080p is considered as a featured resolution. But as technology improves, this 1080 resolution also seems to be rather old and the new standard is 4k and 8k. While 720p has the name HD, 1080 is called full HD, the International Telecommunications Union has agreed that these new transmissions will be termed as UHDTV which is an abbreviation for Ultra High Definition television.
Technical specifications for the next two generations of super high resolution TV broadcast have been drafted by international telecommunication standards organisation ITU, heralding the inevitable arrival of UHDTV (Ultra High Definition Television). The new standard – dubbed Recommendation by ITU – was developed by Study Group 6 of the body’s radiocommunications division (ITU-R), with input from television industry experts as well as broadcasters.
These new transmissions are explained as Ultra high definition picture quality accompanied by improved colour fidelity, and options for higher numbers of pictures per second than for today’s television systems.
David Wood, chairman of the ITU-R Working Party 6C which drafted the new Recommendation, said that although it will be some time before UHDTV becomes mainstream, the finalisation of its technical details marks a historic moment when the foundation is laid down for a new era in television which will bring unsurpassed immersiveness to viewers. Obviously proud of the achievement, ITU-R Study Group 6′s chairman Christoph Dosch added that the Recommendation will provide clear guidelines for producers and broadcasters worldwide to safely begin work on UHDTV content.
