8. Status of 4K video production
4K is not yet done much.
Hollywood uses 4K already but not all. (Off line editing)
4K broadcast has been announced in Brazil, Korea, Japan etc. Targeting the World Cup.
Test live broadcast of 4K soccer game has been done in Japan in order to confirm the feasibility.
4K test has been done in Europe, EBU etc.
Medical use is under testing in Japan, also in USA.
Video conference system needs ultra-high-resolution.

9. 4K Camera overview Many available
Still camera evolved to 4K movie / Broadcast HD camera evolved to 4K
Most demand is cinema use
Record the RAW signal and transfer to editing system. Smooth data transfer to the non-linear editing, is very important.
Live 4K camera is not a main stream yet.
Max size of real-time monitoring is still HD. (View finder)

Decompose one 4K signal into 4 HDTV lines and process them when real-time is required
There's few real-time 4K digital processing system. (eg. "Pablo" by Quantel, color correction)

17. Non-linear editing
4K mainstream is non-linear editing production. Off line editing on PC and rendering then transfer to recorder or burn DVD
Most of the non-linear editing soft can handle 4K
Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, Sony Vegas Pro
Editing procedure is advanced because of cinema use（eg. Red one＋Premier Pro）
Many have DVD and Blu-Ray authoring function

41. 4K Game 4K Game has huge impact
Normally, 4K（2K） game is not so many due to the production cost
However, it is still very good when present PC game (for HD) in 4K system
Developing "serious game" is also the key
We have the 4K game development environment. Don't miss the high potential.

42. Globe project Digitize the Globe in 18 century in Uppsala University
Requires ultra high-resolution texture. Globe is about 70cm diameter but still letters are so tiny.
