The 1080p generation seems to come to an end due to the Japanese Government, that announced it’s plans to develop Ultra High Definition ( or Super Hi-Vision ) standards by 2015. What does this mean ? Well, a resolution of 33 megapixels ( 7,680×4,320 ) and a 22.2 channel surround sound.Until now they have problems with building the camera to record videos at this quality and the equipment to transfer it, because it’s a 24Gbps stream. This year they’ve invested about $2.7 million, having a joint project with private companies that might manage to take this project to an end.
