Super-high-resolution Image Interface Using 8 HD-SDI Lines

Abstract

Demand is high for the development of a super-high-resolution image system that exceeds HDTV quality for high-reality communication services in the future. In this paper, we propose a 60-frame/s progressive 8-mega-pixel super-high-resolution image (2160/60p) interface using 8 HD-SDI lines. With our interface, an 8-mega-pixel super-high-resolution image is divided into four rectangles, each composed of two HD-SDI lines (1080/60i×2). Our design moves the last line of the upper region to the first line of the lower region. As a result, there is no seam between upper and lower image regions. Moreover, a super-high-resolution image can be created more efficiently using HDTV equipment when using this interface. In this paper, we demonstrate an example of a super-high-resolution image system using our interface.
