Abstract
Super Hi-Vision (SHV) is an extremely high-resolution television system. Its video format uses 7680x4320 pixels and it employs a 22.2 multi-channel audio system. Experimental equipment which accommodates a 24-Gbps uncompressed SHV signal in an OTU3 signal was developed. Results of an indoor long-haul transmission trial showed that the equipment with optical amplifiers and a dispersion compensation fiber is capable of transmitting an SHV signal up to 50km or less. The equipment was used for a 16.5km field transmission for an SHV live broadcast demonstration in IBC2010 exhibition.
