Abstract: Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) is developing Super Hi-Vision (SHV), a new television system capable of providing a highly realistic viewing experience. We recently developed a new SHV camera and SHV recorder/player, both with greater compactness and mobility than the previous prototype. The camera was miniaturized as a compact 10 G-Serial Digital Interface (SDI)–based optical transmission unit and high-integration signal-processing unit. With 16 H.264/Advanced Video Coding (AVC) compression units operating in parallel, the compact recorder/player can hold up to 2 hr worth of content on 16 semiconductor memory cards (P2 cards). The camera and the recorder/player are less than half the size of the previous prototypes. Moreover, superimposition of control and status data on the ancillary data area of 1.5 G-SDI ensures improved operability and efficient editing.
