​What is 8K ?

8K covers a video resolution of 7680x4320. It represents 33,177,600 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio. A more accurate term is UHDTV2 for broadcast and live events.

8K is the highest resolution TV that has been released. With four times more pixels than 4K/UltraHD TVs, 16 times more than HD TVs. 8K TVs display a sharper and more detailed picture. In 8K TVs, pixels are so small they cannot be distinguished even from close up, making highly detailed images a reality.

With 33.2 million pixels per image, 8K at 120 frames per second leads to 240 billion pixels to be transported, managed and stored every minute. 

That’s 8K. And that's a lot of pixels !

Innovating beyond HD, the Japanese broadcaster NHK took the road to develop the new 8K standard. When we speak about UltraHD, it exists in fact two families of formats: 


UltraHD1 TV format :
3840x2160p at 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94, 60 fps

4K DCI format :
4096x2160p 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94, 60 fps

UltraHD2 TV format :
7680x4320p at 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94, 60, 100, 120 fps

8K DCI format :
8192x4320p at 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94, 60 fps

​ ​​8K Capture, Transport, Storage, Displays: New challenges ​​

8K uncompressed is unaffordable and unmanageable within current systems and infrastructures. It requires hardware upgrades, renewal of infrastructure and increases the power consumption notably. The table below shows the required bandwidth induced by a transition to 8K in RAW Bayer, 422 or 444, and higher quality video. 

Retaining the current approach of uncompressed video for connectivity, the only options are:
1. increasing the amount of cables and connectors 
2. using expensive, high-bandwidth cable

Both approaches would lead to vast investments and an additional rise in power consumption.

​Manageable 8K Workflows: IP Network

In a time of rising resolutions and the constant need for simplified connectivity (of things), many AV professionals are switching to IP-based infrastructures. intoPIX solutions can reduce the bandwidth of an 8K 60p video stream to less than 2.5 Gbps while remaining lossless quality and inducing virtually no latency. This enables users to run it over standard 2.5GbE / 5GbE / 10GbE networks (CAT5E and CAT6 cables & switch) – a currently extremely cost-effective installation with the additional advantage of simple cable length extension by adding a switch every 100 meters. This can be achieved using standard-based protocols such as SMPTE 2110-22 or SMPTE 2022-2 which both support JPEG XS.

From an Expensive Uncompressed IP Workflow...

...to a New Bandwidth-efficient Workflow using intoPIX

​Manageable 8K Workflows : Compressed SDI

The industry has recently massively invested in SDI infrastructures and might wish to prolong its use in the face of a conversion to Ethernet. It is however still confronted with the challenge of increased resolutions. To avoid the management of more cables and/or more expensive ones, complex interfaces, additional complexity and the splitting of one stream over multiple cables, intoPIX provides 8K solutions enabling users to retain their current 3G-SDI or 12G-SDI cabling and still transport 8K video.

Deploying intoPIX compression for 8K not only saves cost, but also greatly reduces power consumption and infrastructure complexity. In addition to a reduced amount of cables, TicoXS compression also reduces the amount of cross-points in a matrix switcher from 6400 to a mere 25. 

intoPIX has defined a unique proprietary method to map JPEG XS Codestream over SDI environments (including protecting the EAV/SAV codes) that offers a gain of 20% of efficiency.
