NHK will use next month’s NAB Show in Las Vegas to demonstrate a closed-circuit over-the-air transmission of 8K Super Hi-Vision content in a single 6 MHz UHF TV channel, NAB said Monday. It will be the first time outside Japan that wireless transmission of Super Hi-Vision is demonstrated over a single 6 MHz TV channel, NAB said. NHK will also present detailed results of a long-distance, single-channel, over-the-air 8K test broadcast recently conducted in Japan, it said. NHK’s booth also will feature a presentation theater with a 350-inch screen for viewing newly shot Super Hi-Vision content, including highlights from the Sochi Winter Olympic Games, it said. NHK has said it’s targeting the launch of Super Hi-Vision to coincide with the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo.
