The term "4K" is often heard today.
While it's easy to
assume that it merely describes a more beautiful TV picture, it actually
has a much deeper meaning. In this video, President Yoshiyuki Miyabe of
Panasonic AVC Networks Company tells what to look for in the world of
4K. As he describes it, "The jump from HD to 4K will be one of the
biggest developments in the last 20 years." It's a world-changing
transition.
In addition to offering a variety of business solutions, 4K promises to further advance the safe, secure lifestyles that Panasonic has pursued for people around the globe since its founding, and to bring life-changing improvements to the world's societies. Let's look at some of the concrete solutions that everybody can look forward to. As the video shows, in addition to transforming TV broadcasts and images of all kinds, 4K is going to touch peoples' lives with major solutions in a wide range of locations, including retail stores and art galleries, and a variety of different fields, such as security, architecture, and medicine.
4K Attractions for Broadcast and Media
Professionals
For example, Michael Cioni, CEO of a post
production company, describes the ability of VARICAM35, a 4K camera
recorder, to control color outside of the camera. He calls it "actually
talking to the camera." It's an entirely new concept that will transform
the production workflow as we know it. Nancy Schreiber, a Hollywood
cinematographer, tells how it is "not just resolution, but colors that
are true to life and really help an audience member get into the story
and really feel the emotions that the director and the cinematographer
are creating." David Shin, Senior Vice President of FOX International
Channels, emphasizes the rich experience that 4K offers in the field of
sports, by "bringing the spectator in the arena."
4K Changes to the World of Photography
The
LUMIX GH4 digital camera makes it easy to capture and use 4K images. And
now, it's possible to extract single frames from the videos taken with
this camera, for use as high-definition photos. For example, you can
capture a bird precisely as it takes off, or catch a brief smile from a
child's face. According to Miyabe of Panasonic AVC Networks Company, 4K
opens the door to a host of new expressions that have never even been
considered until now. Aerial cinematographer Ferdinand Wolf shows scenes
captured by mounting the GH4 to a remote controlled helicopter. He gives
high acclaim to GH4 functions such as 1080p All-Intra 200Mbps image
quality, 96fps footage for slow motion scenes, and 4K resolution.
4K Business Solutions
4K has
the potential to make significant changes to peoples' lives. For
example, placing a large 4K display in the show window of a boutique
lets you display a life-sized model wearing one of the shop's outfits.
Using it in a museum makes it possible to exhibit images of art works
that look identical to the original. And high-definition images on a 4K
monitor for security cameras provide a wealth of information about
customer behavior.
4K Tablet Solutions
Panasonic
launched the world's first 4K tablet. Its 20-inch screen achieves a
level of resolution that rivals images printed on paper. Architect
Edward Suzuki praises this image quality, saying 4K "will enhance light,
shadow, and shades. A lot of materials that would be difficult to
present on paper or monitors would probably be helped." And Doctor
Hideki Sakamoto describes the potential for applying 4K tablets to
medical applications, adding "The clearer the image the greater the
diagnostic power."
This video shows a number of new solutions made possible by 4K. In closing, Miyabe of Panasonic AVC Networks Company adds emphatically, "4K will certainly be the norm by 2020. These advances will help lead to 'A Better Life, A Better World.'"
Please watch this video to hear what professionals in a variety of
fields have to say about 4K, and to see examples of actual solutions
already at work.
