UHDV stands forUltra High Definition Video.

It is a video format being promoted by the Japan Broadcasting Corporation,NHK. UHDV was tested by NHK using an array of 16 HDTV recorders to capture just 18 minutes of footage; which took up 3.5TB space. The camera that was actually used to record the footage was built with 4 2.5 inch (64 mm) CCDs. Theresolution of the video is a massive7680x4320 (exactly four times the1920x1080 resolution used by existing HDTV; it has 16 times morepixels thanHDTV). It runs at60 frames per second (fps). It also has22.2CH audio (9 above ear level,10 at ear level,3 below ear level and2 low frequency effects).

The recorded footage was projected on a4x7 metre screen for a public demonstration. Reports were that it gave an experience of actually "being there". People experienced nausea while watching the footage. This occurred because the movement of the camera was so realistic but the human body couldn't feel the motion.
