Abstract
After 4K, 8K UHD resolution can be considered the new challenge for film, visualization and television. Due to the dimension of 8K image, the remote micro and macro images are considered appropriate for visualization with scientific and educational purposes. This article describes the implementation of the 8K video plug-in to play UHD videos into the SAGE, a collaborative environment for the advancement of scientific research and education developed by EVL (Electronic Visualization Laboratory), upgrading its current resolution for video playing. It also presents the challenges of producing 8K content, the development of the code and introduces the features to view 8K ultra high definition videos in multiple tiles through the use of low cost computer clusters. The SAGE 8K video plug-in implementation was made possible because of the previous development of the Fogo Player, a system to run 4K and 8K content. The results were successfully presented at the CineGrid International Workshop 2013 in San Diego.
Highlights
8K and SAGE FilmsThe 8K films, called Ultra High Definition movies with over 33 million pixels per frame, are considered films whose resolution is one that will replace the 4K or even immediately replace the Full-HD or 2K
The image starts with the 2K (Full HD) and ends in the 8K definition
In order to provide a better performance using this design, we developed a player that features different video formats and combine them in only one output stream displaying the partitions of the video on the projector or on a Ultra High Definition (UHD) video screen
Summary
The 8K films, called Ultra High Definition movies with over 33 million pixels per frame, are considered films whose resolution is one that will replace the 4K or even immediately replace the Full-HD or 2K. NHK announced the development of an 8K sensor that can shoot video at 120 fps and demonstrated 8K broadcasting during the 2012 Olympics in London [4] Technology companies such as Zaxel Systems has announced the “first world’s first 8K server that drives the JVC’s wobbling 8K projector DLA-VS4800” [5]. In 2012 RNP contemplated various Brazilian educational and research institutions with OptiPortals consisting of a small video-wall with 4 monitors 47" full HD, allowing the visualization of films next to 4K resolution. They are coupled to videoconference equipment, connected to the high speed network, and controlled by SAGE middleware The LabCine OptiPortal running SAGE. Images in research are discussed, as in, for example, the images of Mars collected by NASA, telehealth and telemedicine applications
