Development of an 8K 120 Hz single-chip camera system using 2:1 inter-line scanning

Abstract

NHK is accelerating development of ‘full-featured’ 8K broadcasting equipment. We have developed an 8K 120 Hz single-chip camera system by adopting 2:1 inter-line scanning. We performed an image capturing experiment, and confirmed that the resolution in the still area is the same as that in 60 Hz scanning. The signal-to-noise ratio of 120 Hz inter-line videos was improved by adaptive noise reduction technique.
