    So, I just got an invitation to view part of the Olympics in Ultra HD. It is co-sponsored by Comcast and NBC-Universal. I assume this is the same as Quad TV, which is a bit off of 4K. Does anybody know which camear platform and workflows might be involved? Is it an EPIC, or something else on the acquisition side? A projector or some prototype flat screen on the viewing side?

    As far as I know, acquisition will be NHK cameras, 7680 x 4320 at 60 fps.

    UHD should be more like 8K.

    I thought they were targeting 120 fps for Super Hi-Vision.
