Super Hi-Vision demo seen in totally inadequate web video player

By now, you're completely familiar with what Super Hi-Vision is looking to do. You know, revolutionize HDTV programming as we know it. Provide an intense amount of detail good for filing up hundred-foot screens. That type stuff. If you've been eager to actually see what SHV can do, but you weren't able to make the trip to Amsterdam for IBC2008, fret not -- Auntie Beeb has hosted up a video of the demonstration in a wee web video player. Nah, it's no 7,680 x 4,320, but at least you'll get the idea. (Psst... it's in the read link.)

Super Hi-vision: It makes 1080p look like weaksauce

Only on screens bigger than most people could realistically have in their home.

Mr. E, remember that Super Hi-Vision isn't exactly a home theatre specification. 4320p @ 60fps with 24 tracks of audio? Does that sound like something for even a high end bachelor pad?

I'm not saying it won't happen, but remember that it's a spec designed for theatrical releases and special event presentations. And Hefner and Mark Cuban.
