再一次的，虽然人们对8K还没热情，但今年10月日本已研发出了85英寸的夏普（此处原文是为Sharp，不知该理解为锐度还是夏普）电视。日本人最棒的地方是他们总是科技的先驱虽然房子可能无法拥有85英寸的空间来容纳电视。

仅在英国地区，HDTV销售只占了1%而4K TV销售更是几乎为0！它的可笑之处就是几乎没有4K DVD或者是电视频道没有4K甚至是8K。


举个例子来说，佳能和Ikegami在致力于研究8K摄影机，一旦8K问世，若画面编辑称为4K甚至HD画面时那将会十分壮观，但是，这真的有必要吗？

下面我的一个例子就是安全服务将如何欢迎8K的监控摄像机。

借此将8K的图片分为16张全高清的图片，你可以从人群中100%的辨认出一个示威者。

那么，有一种力量在推动的8K前行,而市场仍然受限，我们已经在电影院里看到了6K产品拍摄的电影——由RED Weapon 6K拍摄。（举个例子来说就有马特达蒙主演的《火星救援》）

相机制造商总会去每个市场，每当跟一款老产品告别的时候都会有更高质量的新品从商家这里发布。
数字电影已经和RED唇齿相依，你只要打开它们的网站就可以看到RED摄像机将会有许多电视电影制作都用到它。
个人认为8K在数字电影市场是非常有限的，但也是定位十分稳固，RED一定不会束手就擒。
这里有一部10K视频我以前就展示过，它看起来棒极了以至于你绝不会看走眼。



译者理解：技术的发展再次将影像的显示推向一座又一座高峰，然而何时会到发展的顶峰？我们无从知晓。未来，很可能会是VR技术与全息影像的时代，毕竟，那个对着大屏幕观看影像，而转头却是周围是环境的年代，已经持续了一百多年。技术革命就是不断在前人的基础上发展，直到大厦崩塌。而对着屏幕获取信息的时代，也很可能会一去不返。2016年也将会是VR／全息技术的元年，未来在招手！


原文：

Once again there is no enthusiasm for 8K but Japan is driving forward with an 85″ Sharp television in October this year. The best of it is the Japanese who are always the early adopters of new technology don’t have enough space in their houses for an 85″ screen which could seriously limit sales.
In the UK alone the majority of TV sales are with HD ready televisions with about 1% of the market selling 4K to an audience of zero ! Its laughable when we have no 4K DVDs or TV channels that are even contemplating 4K let alone　8K.
Both Canon and Ikegami are working on an 8K cameras but once again 8K for editing down to 4K or even HD will look spectacular but is there a need for it.
With my example below you can see how the security services would welcome 8K surveillance cameras.
Take this 8K picture out of 16 full HD pictures you can crop at 100% to identify people in a protest.
So why is there a push for 8K when there is such a limited market, we are already seeing 6K productions coming out in the cinema filmed on a 6K RED Weapon like The Martain.
Camera manufacturers are into every marketplace and the more HiEnd the production the better publicity they can make from it.
Digital Cinema is the one place RED have got their teeth into and you only have to look at their web site to see a ton of major films and TV productions being made with RED cameras.
Personally I think 8K is positioned firmly at the digital cinema marketplace though it is very limited and RED won’t want to give up their stronghold without a fight.
Heres a look at a 10K video that I have shown before but its so good a second look won’t go wrong…
