Please reply w/ your thoughts about this and links w/ answers to the questions raised. Niko, & other top DD'ers here....can I have your thought on this post? Thanks guys.

A friend of mine found an article from a goog search of: "television production 4k". I was telling him about NTEK etc....

Here's the article he chose based on the title.
Cautious exec from ZDF in Germany

Ok, so, this is a German broadcaster w/ questions as to how fast 4K will be in the homes of the public.

Read through it and please reply w/ the "answers" to the few obvious objections this writer had. Or the person(s) interviewed. I'd like to get the opinion of at least the top 4 posters here. Of course, I'd like to hear from anyone willing to take a little time to read and debate what this article is saying.

I have my own answers to the questions (objections) here but I wanted to have the response from you guys 1st.


Now, keep in mind, this is only ONE article, ONE or TWO opinions on the 4K subject, and the obvious, it's not from US writers....etc., just emphasizing where it's written. One of my thoughts here is that, "this is good, the 4K subject is GLOBAL, and there are opinions and analysts w/ great questions, and questions that have be answered and objections "dealt" with only months after it's written".


Here's a few things to be discussed:

"I believe 4K displays will find their ways into homes but not as fast as some companies would like," said a cautious exec from German public broadcaster ZDF.

#'s estimates can make a great argument for NTEK claiming a portion of this 110 mil statement. They (NTEK) did say something like, "we won't be able to compete w/ the tech giants, but we have a head start". Or something like that. Imagine the revenues on a portion of that 110 mil.

Stakeholders in Europe will be "early adopters" of the format, claimed Ferdinand Kayser, CCO of satellite operator SES, who predicted there would be nearly 111 million Ultra HD displays in homes by 2025."

"Could you have imagined if we had invested millions and millions in 3D but now no one speaks of it? I believe 4K displays will find their ways into homes but not as fast as some companies would like. In Germany we have 60 million TV sets which people have only just bought. It will be 3-5 years before we have stable technology to bring 4K to consumers."

I know there's a few rebuttals/positives to this statement.

Manufacturers clearly view 4K as a priority. Most major production, post-production and broadcast vendors came to IBC -- which attracted an estimated 50,000 delegates from around the world -- with 4K-supported products. Vendors generally said they are starting to see interest in 4K production tools, though delivery to homes remains in question. Also, the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) compression scheme that can support Ultra HD could be a driver and was getting plenty of attention.

How about this statement:?

Ericsson's Giles Wilson described a move to Ultra HD programming as "moving from viewing it to experiencing it." But U.S.-based consultant Mark Schubin argues that there isn't enough of a difference between HD and 4K, saying the discussion is about "very good versus very good."

Maybe this comment will be adjusted to NTEK's Nuvola NP-1 instead of.....

Jan Weigner, co-founder and managing director of German technology maker Cinegy (which announced 4K support for its products at IBC), thinks over the air broadcasters risk being cut out of the 4K delivery chain. "Broadcasters face a dilemma," he said, "The biggest 4K delivery platform by year's end will be the PlayStation 4. Many assume 4K to the home will be OTT services."

And this has been discussed plenty:

Another question raised during this past week's debate: Does the industry need to go higher than 4K? Sony is arguably the biggest champion of 4K -- but Japanese public broadcaster NHK is pushing for 8K broadcasting as early as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. And so Sony is now also putting efforts into development of 8K, which is a whopping 16 times the resolution of HD.

8K doesn't help the consumer w/ 32 to 80 inch TV's but I'm sure NASA can see a much clearer picture w/ 8K tech. Zooming will be enhanced! Or what about a GIANT screen at the Olympics. I'm sure that's a reason for 8K.

There's more but I'll leave it to those that click the link and read it. I'd like to see what D. Foley has to say. I'm POSITIVE he can clear up some issues for some of the doubters out there.
