Ultra High-Definition Digital Video System : Octavision
The digital video camera that has four times the resolution of HDTV
Featuring a digital video camera boasting an astounding 8M pixels-four times the resolution of HDTV, the Octavision ("Octa" means "eight" as in the eight mega pixels that characterize this camera) video camera is a good example of Olympus's technology showcase of high-definition, high-impact imaging solutions.
The 8M pixels is almost the same resolution as highest 4K format which DCI* specified in July, 2005. Octavision is expected to be utilized for various fields such as digital cinema which is taking off now, education, medical use, academic research, exhibitions and so on.
*Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) was formed in March 2002 as a joint project of the motion picture studios (Disney, Fox, MGM, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal and Warner Bros. Studios) to develop a system specification for digital cinema.
