Global Streaming of 4k Uncompressed Digital Motion Pictures

On Saturday 10 November, Keio DMC did an uncompressed transmission of Kyoto Prize from Kyoto to Stockholm with KTH, NTT, TUT, and Mitsubishi Electric, using SHD 4K picture format. It was the world's first Trans-Pacific and Trans-Atlantic (21,000km) real time switching and streaming transmission of uncompressed 4K motion pictures. My presentation shows that SHD 4K digital images can be produced, recorded, encoded, switched, and delivered on the fly over IP networks world-wide.
