Panasonic's new video transmission technology allows you to stream 8K video without compression
Welcome to our readers on the iCover Blog Pages ! Panasonic has announced the technology of transmitting uncompressed video signals as 8K over a fiber optic network with removable areas using connectors of a special design.
A video signal with 8K quality is an image of about 33 million pixels (7680 x 4320) in size, transmitted at a speed of up to 120 frames per second. For comparison: Full HD is just 2 million pixels (1920 x 1080) at up to 60 frames per second, 4K is about 8 million pixels (3840 x 2160) and 60 fps.
Until now, the transfer of video in 8K format from the source to the device on the consumer side has been carried out via 4 HDMI cables with a split of the image into 4K equivalents, glued to 8K at the reception by means of special video processing programs. Due to the difficulty of accurately combining the optical axes of different sections of the network, signal transmission via fiber optic cable in networks with removable sections and connected equipment was quite laborious. A new type of cable and technology proposed by Panasonic engineers and KAI Photonics Co., Ltd., created at Keio University in Japan, provide the opportunity to transmit 8K video over long distances with minimal loss.
A specially shaped ballpoint connector integrated into the plastic fiber-optic cable was developed by Mitsubishi Pensil in collaboration with Professor Yasuhiro Koike from Keio University. Thanks to the use of multi-level modulation technology of a broadband signal, the bandwidth of one channel was expanded to 100 Gbit / s, which allowed to remove restrictions on working with uncompressed video signal as 8K.
The next step of the development team is to refine the status of the technology to the level of the international standard with the goal of mass use of 8K devices in the B2B segment.
