While most people would not regard an 8KTV sector as anything other than speculative right now, steps are being put in place to create an industry. Taking a lead in 8K development is NHK who announced at the 4K (HDR) Summit in November 2017 that it would be unveiling the world’s first broadcast in 4K/8K on 1 December 2018. Hidenobu Miyazaki, producer at NHK’s global content development division said the offer would be 4K for 18 hours a day; and 8K for12 hours per day.
