http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2008/09/super_hi_vision.html "The Italian broadcaster, RAI, demonstrated satellite broadcasting of SHV at 140 Mbit/s from Turin to IBC." Super Hi-Vision has a resolution of 4320x7860 (and also carries 22.2 channel sound). IIRC the video codec used was Dirac. >From the Dirac website:- "In our first experiments, we managed to get excellent picture quality at 128Mb/s, which sounds huge but is equivalent to just 4Mb/s for HDTV."
