JVC Gets Super High-Res With 8K/4K Projector and 4K Camera

Going the complete opposite way of the mini projector trend, JVC announced that it will soon ship a 370-pound projector. Obviously, the D-ILA 3 8K and 4K aren’t about dinky pictures, beaming out 35-megapixel pictures, in resolutions of up to 8192 x 4320. They also feature brightness of 10,000 lumens, a 5,500:1 contrast ratio. These monstrosities use a 3,000 W bulb and a special fiber optic interface, though there’s also HDMI connections on board. But what would you use it with? Perhaps JVC’s 4K camera, which is in the prototype stage now. A 1.25-inch CMOS sensor allows for resolutions of 3840 x 2160and 60 frames per second in RAW mode. The camera head also has a fiber optic interface, which sends the signal to a remote 4K2K signal processor. No word on pricing, which is to say it probably won’t be cheap. [via Electronista]
