Table 9. Overview of the characteristics 4K UHDTV tested in the DTT.
In addition to broadcast 4K UHDTV channels in satellite and terrestrial digital networks during
2015 in the world has launched several UHDTV services in Internet Protocol Television (IPTV)
and Over-The-Top (OTT) systems.
6.3. 8K UHDTV Besides the ultra HD format, there is also Super Hi-Vision 8K for whose development and
promotion are in charge of the Japanese public broadcaster NHK. Super Hi-Vision format was
able to show 120 frames per second and a resolution of 7680 × 4320 pixels which corresponds
to the format of 32 megapixels. This format offers four times the resolution of 4K format and
16 times higher than HD. Table 10 [26] gives the basic test characteristics of 8K UHDTV in DTT
networks in the world.
