Movie industry wants to forget about 1080p, and move straight to 4096x2160.

zekrahminator · Sep 12, 2006

While NVIDIA wanted to originally bring television to 1440p resolution, the professional industry wants to move straight to 4096x2160. The move to 4096x2160 not only brings an unprecedented quality level, but also an unprecedented level of rendering power required. Each frame of whatever movie is rendered in 4096x2160 has been estimated to take 50MB, and a decoder would have to be extremely powerful. Editing such an enormous video would require even more power. Cameras that support this amazing resolution should be announced soon. The difference between 4096x2160 and standard DV can be seen in this chart.

yeSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my retinas would explode!

I too, vote YES!!!!!

Although that 4xxx picture is about 2-3 years old lol!

according to the article, 4K = cinematic res

Wow what a jump. I don't think blue ray/HDDVD is going to be big enough though....

... not at 3.0GB/s.

i'm kinda mixed on this.

in order to get this kinda res, you're going to need some pretty hefty rendering power, like quad sli or better. MAJOR power.

I do a ton of rendering work in 3ds max, and i know that cranking up the res == more cpu power needed. so if the gfx companies expect people to keep up with their res bumps, the proc companies will have to get better cpu's.

at least it gives you justification for a quad core cpu and quad sli.....hehe.

Like the article says however, this is for professional use

This isnt going to be in an HDTV for a loooong time, making consumer cards..... pointless

It would be pointless in the consumer market because the difference between 1080p and this would be little to null with screens of 100 inches or below. As for bitrates, well we all know MPEG4 can offer better streams than is made out - we didn't need HD DVD or BLu for 720p or 1080i... and we don't need all of it for 1080p....
