Specification of "8K PC" which can reproduce 8K super Hi-Vision with ultra high image quality and high sound quality turned out

It is open to the public from Thursday 26th (Thu) 20th to Sunday 29th (Sun) in 2016NHK Giken Open 2016At the venueFull spec 8K Super Hi-VisionYou can play "8K PC"It is actually displayed in the exhibition, but its specifications were clarified.

85 inch 8K display which was placed in a corner of the exhibition hall and "8K PC" used for playing. Furthermore, amp and speakers for 22.2 multichannel sound are also connected, and the environment which can reproduce full specification 8K super Hi-Vision without leaving is prepared.


8K PC which is placed with its back facing so that the state of the connection can be seen well. The graphic card indicated by "8K video output" contains 4 DisplayPort cables, all connected to the 8K display. Since 4K video can be transferred per cable, you can see that 4K video is transferred with 4 cables as calculated as "8K = 4K × 4". Also, under the "22.2 Sound Output" section there are three DisplayPort cables, one thing you have entered into three AV amplifiers installed separately.


And the contents written in the spec sheet which was put in the venue is kore. Actually I can see that it is quite a high spec machine.

8K PC spec
CPU:Intel Xeon E 5 - 2680 v 3 2.5 GHz × 2 (24 cores)
memory:64 GB
graphic:NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (for video output)
sound:NVIDIA Quadro M4000 (for audio output)

8K Player software etc.
· 8K video HEVC Main 10
Bit rate 120 to 130 Mbps (Average)
· 22.2 channel Audio MPEG-4 AAC-LC
Bit rate 1 Mbps (Average)
(Same compression method used for 8K broadcasting)

The CPU Intel Xeon E5-2680v3 is about 250,000 yen in market price, and the graphics card NVIDIA Quadro M6000 ranges from 600,000 yen. When it comes to arranging three AV amplifiers, 24 speakers, and 8K display on this, thinking that it is going to reach a terrible budget to think.

The merit of this system is that,KinectIt is possible to provide interactive contents with 8K image quality by combining with a depth sensor like. Also, although it is a system configuration that is likely to reach a considerable amount of money, it seems that this also can not imagine that the technological innovation in the coming years will fall dramatically. I am anxious to know when such systems will be available to anyone.
