22.2 surround sound!

Bourne1 · 01-14-2008, 05:44 PM

Psshh and we are now only stepping up to digital and getting rid of analog. This is pathetic!

tiger roach · 01-14-2008, 05:45 PM

Hmm I sure hope those 22.2 speakers are wireless.

greekjgg · 01-14-2008, 05:46 PM

In 6 yrs it will be round 3 in the format wars!!

Ultra Dvd vs Ultra ray!!

I've seen the cameras for this on Discovery (Digital Planet?) about a year ago. They're HUGE. I'm not so sure this will happen by 2015. Feels a bit too soon.

phloyd · 01-14-2008, 05:49 PM

They demonstrated this at NAB last year.

It is not really... ummm... suitable for the living room...

8k x 4k on a 35 foot screen with all those speakers is pretty cool though.

They also showed the camera and 22 mic audio rig...

statikcat · 01-14-2008, 05:55 PM

Who wants to buy 24 speakers? What studios will take the time to mix movies in 22.4? That would be insanely time consuming. I don't see surround going past 10.2 .. anytime soon.

JonD7 · 01-14-2008, 06:00 PM

24 speakers? this seems alittle unrealistic to me for some reason... especially only 8 years away, hell it took me this long and I don't even have an HDtv just yet! thats coming next month but yeah.

how much gigs would a whole film be on ultra HD anyways?

Sonny · 01-14-2008, 06:00 PM

1080p sucks the big one. LOL!!

CptGreedle · 01-14-2008, 06:01 PM

By the time I am ready to buy a new tv... in about 10 years.... (and am able to), it will be at least as good as an OLED and possibly better than just HD

But that is a long way from now, who knows what will come out by then.

lol

Keep in mind that only a few people have got HD at home and it will take at least five years for the media and consumers to adopt this new format. Only a few channels are broadcasting HD...

HD is big step and a huge improvement over SD. Many people will switch to HD in the next five years.

It is good to have a screen with high resolution but as long as the picture is still SD you won't take benefit from your HD TV. And for the moment except Blu ray Discs and a few channels most of the time you have SD picture quality displayed on you HD tv screen.

And moreover to get HD picture quality you need good video trasnfer and you know that for the moment many Blu ray Discs don't have a real HD picture quality but only an average one. So we need some time before the manufacturers, the TV media get used to HD...it will take a few years.

Ultra High definition is nice if you want to buy a 200 " screen lol

For the moment we need to focus on HD which will be the next-standard definition for (at least) the next ten years!!!

Can our eyes even distinguish resolution much higher than what is offered now?

apollo92178 · 01-14-2008, 06:10 PM

SHit, considering we are behind in a lot of areas like wireless, no bullet train, etc I don't see this happening. When the spanish network go Hd in 2020 maybe I'll believe it.

beavis667 · 01-14-2008, 06:11 PM

I'd like to see the speaker layout for 22.2 sound. It seems kinda silly. You don't need a speaker everywhere you want sound coming from.

kolasi · 01-14-2008, 06:13 PM

lol damn. imagine the cost for all of that....

I believe 4K images are at the upper limit of human perception.

Leopold BUTTERS · 01-14-2008, 06:16 PM

i don't see how anything above 1080p for any screen less than 72inches could even be worth while....if you have ultra hi def on a screen that is only 30inches...which i am guessing would be the average tv size in NA...then there is no way for this to be useful besides imax..theatres...which would be amazing no doubt but i can't see this being in peoples homes.

I have read and article about 1080P written by a scientist who claimed that actually on a 50" HD TV screen you can't see the separation between two pixels. So higher resolution is not necessary unless you want at TV screen bigger that the one in the theater

And he was also claiming that below 32 " you can't make the difference between 720P and 1080P.

I really think that now people want a 42" TV screen at home and that is why 1080P is perfect for the future. And HD will the next generation standard for quite a long time.

Remember that SD TV is still here after 40 years...
