NHK—hidden in the back of the north hall in booth 637–is continuing to demo its developing Super Hi-Vision 8k system, with 22.2 multichannel sound. Images in a theater setting include sunflowers, a river and the arctic. A broadcast demo features a look at the Las Vegas strip.

NHK received a special award at IBC08 for its developing Super Hi-Vision system.

At NAB, Japan’s national public broadcasting organization is also showing a prototype of what it calls “Integral TV,” a 3DTV system that does not require special glasses and can be observed as the viewer moves around.

Not to be missed is the NHK 1920×1080 3D imagery of the surface of the moon and earth, lensed from a lunar orbiter. The screening lasts roughly five minutes.
