just a ramble..... But Tom suggested CBS using 8K for archival purposes. I'm sure they are using them to 'keep up with the curve and figure out how to use them and the associated data they produce'.
I was having a work discussion on Friday night with one of our technology managers. I work at an engineering company and we design and manage the construction of mineral processing facilities, hydroelectric plants, and other such things. Engineering usually takes 2-3 years and construction and commissioning takes 5 years (partly overlapping the engineering). At the end of commissioning when we 'handover' the facility to the owner, we also hand over the engineering data (drawings, specification documents, and manuals in the 'old' days, but now models and other electronic data). It is growing to a crapload of data this days. I find this SD/HD/UHD/4k/8k topic to be very interesting and parallel. Someone (with the deep pockets) has to use the bleeding-edge technology to capture the data and store it the best they can. BBC obviously tried to learn about streaming it as well at 4k -- a great exercise to learn. who knows what video formats will 'rule' in 5 years. Do we all remember DIVX? my DVD player does. other parallel topics: financial systems programmed in COBOL. Science software programmed in FORTRAN. 1990/2000 stuff in Java.
