Here are a few specs from the article: 'picture size of 7,680 by 4,320 pixels'; 'UHDV's beefed-up refresh rate of 60 frames per second (twice that of conventional video), projected onto a 450-inch diagonal screen with more than 20 channels of audio'; '22.2 sound: 10 speakers at ear level, 9 above and 3 below, with another 2 for low frequency effects'; AND THE KICKER, 'All those sound channels and all those image pixels add up to a lot of data. In test, an 18-minute UHDV video gobbled up 3.5 terabytes of storage

So it won't be making it's way into our sets soon (ever?) but pretty crazy stuff eh?

A number of threads on this topic have been posted -- over the years.

When I posted the most recent on May 25th, "How about some REALLY HiDef?"

KenH chided me that I was a tad late.

His first post on the topic had been in August of 2000!

Yeah...I'd seen UHDV mentioned here (didn't see your thread though) but this was the first time I'd seen it written up by the "mainstream" press.
