To transfer just 18 minutes of video requires some 3.5 terabits of data.

:eek:

Id say it will be another 20-30 years before we see that in Ireland!

Ultra hi def as in the link may be a good few years away , whats probably next on the HDTV front is Digital 2K or 4K.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_cinema

At this moment , Digital 2K and 4K is being pushed heavily for Digital cinema , not least of the reasons is the fact that films in this format can be distributed at a fraction of the cost of film prints and will save film producers a fortune.

2K is twice the resolution of 1080p and 4k is 4 times the resolution of 1080p.

Sets were demonstrated at CES , Panasonics 150 inch plasma being the star of the show.

This is a high resolution indeed , but seeing as 1080p really cant be seen without a 50 inch or bigger screen , yet people still buy it as its the highest res , I can easily see the next generation of TV's having either 2k or 4k capability.

Blu ray has already been demonstrated to have the capacity to carry features for both the resolutions. ( in my opinion this is one of the reasons that studios will ensure that blu ray wins out .... if production companies can rely on one format to feed cinema distribution as well as the home movie market their profits will skyrocket due to massively reduced costs )

I would think that sets with either a 2K or 4K resolution will show up for consumer consumption within the next 2 years. As with 1080p , they will be expensive at first , but a good sign is the way the price is freefalling on 1080p sets , it should be the same with this format.

Hi Guys , I'm only back from the Integrated Systems Show in Amsterdam and the buzz words were Quad HD.
From any of the content providers at the show the answer was this ...while its available for high street advertising and specialist customised video production facilities , it wont be a mass market offering for 10-15 years.
And for the Record ... ITS Bloody Amazing to look at. Making 1080P look like a composite signal on a 50" panel !
What I reckon you'll see before this is 3D TV ! I saw a prototype 4 years ago at PLASA london then another at last years ISE show. This year Phillips have made serious quality improvements.Going at the same rate give it 1-2 years and it'll be the ultimate Gaming experience
