Ultra HD group outlines next generation of 4K TV broadcasts

The concept of 4K TV broadcasting is only just getting off the ground, but its overseers are already planning for what comes next. The Ultra HD Forum has published its first "Phase B" guidelines detailing what companies should aim for with future 4K broadcast tech. Not surprisingly, high frame rates should play a major role -- the group is hoping for 100FPS and 120FPS video (depending on the region) with a fallback for 60FPS. It's also pushing for dynamic HDR video through formats like Dolby Vision and SL-HDR, while Dolby AC-4 and MPEG-H would provide audio that could adapt from elaborate 3D sound setups to a plain set of headphones.

PDF for Revision 1.0 of the Ultra HD Forum Phase B Guidelines:

The Phase B technologies were carefully selected to help service operators plan for next generation UHD services. In August 2017, the Ultra HD Forum conducted a Service Operator Survey with the goal of learning about up-and-coming UHD technologies that have captured the interest of service operators. The survey results served as a guide to the Ultra HD Forum in drafting this document.

This version of the UHD Phase B Guidelines is a preliminary look at these important UHD technologies. The goal of this version is to introduce and de-mystify the technologies and provide information to operators that are considering incorporating one or more of these advanced features into their UHD services.

    I watch videos at the lowest possible resolution. Most movies are propaganda anyway, containing subliminal messages paid for by TLAs and special interest groups in order to change people's perception of reality.

    And of course, shiny turds get the attention for the moment. 4K now, then 6K and then 8K and 16K, though all of them completely useless. Real stuff has to wait unfortunately.

    Stay away from high resolution videos and movies and tv. Skip tv however you can. They contain subliminal messages and are harmful for you.

      Laugh if you want, but I consider his ads among the most effective on television. He said what he wanted to say, in a few seconds, and that was it.

      And he did it in what I thought was quite clever.

      Believe me, you aren't the only one who knows his jingle word for word...

      There are numerous other products, ( diet pills, skin treatments, insurance plans, ) that drone on and on and on.... which eventually bring me to boiling mad, and the only sane thing is to turn the damned TV off and find something else to do. I see Larry King, that old Jeopardy host, or that old football player that sold out to the ad-men, its just a signal that its time to turn the TV off. Same with that "business meeting" I find myself transported to, or that desk with those gawking women carrying on about some product on social media. Your TV time is like a dropped pizza, its splat on the floor. Its done, nothing to eat here... toss it and find something else.

      That head is NOT gonna shut up until it has gone through its entire wash, rinse, and spin cycle, some more than once, often playing games with me like its fixing to shut up, but only reloads for another eruption.
