[ 8K SHV products shown here were jointly developed by ASTRODESIGN and NHK. ]

Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) has been conducting R&D on the UHDTV television format, which is called Super Hi-Vision in Japan. 8K SHV boasts a resolution of 7680x4320 or 16 times the pixels of the current HD format. Viewers will view this video at 60fps in progressive video format. The feeling of immersion is impressive, with objects being displayed with a far more natural sense of depth. ASTRODESIGN has been collaborating with NHK since the advent of SHV leading to the development of many necessary pieces of equipment to the SHV catalog. Intensive R&D work is targeting test broadcasts in 2016, leading to a steady stream of new innovative equipment and technologies that is necessary to bring this new format to the world.

8K Super Hi-Vision

8K Super Hi-Vision (SHV)’ is next generation video technology that offers an overpowering sense of realism and strong visual impact. ASTRODESIGN has been working on 8K SHV technology since its first stages, resulting in the development of the variety of SHV equipment that is being used today.
