The Inexorable Advances of Communications Technologies

Have a look at this link,Never mind 4K, or even 8K. Here’s what it’s like shooting at 10K!

This absolutely confirms a conclusion I came to years ago: Communications media have been about increasing fidelity and access from the dawn of time! Just so you know, fidelity has to do with video and audio resolution that enables the medium of communication to reflect reality, and access is about getting what I want, when and where I want it!

A couple of excerpts:

 Each original frame has a resolution of 10328 x 7760 and weighs in at around 80MB per frame.

One of the standard tools with Timelapse is the motion controlled slider, but with this footage you can make HD pans, tilts and zooms that mean you almost don’t need a slider!

The visual fidelity is incredible and blows me away! This is especially true when I think about the software and hardware it takes to deal with that number of pixels.

Absolutely astounding!

I also recommend this guy’s (Joe Capra) Web site, Scientifantistic.com, which also has some stunning footage!
