the Pope in 8k/120fps

… hmm, obviously the Vatican thinks in different dimensions when in comes to 'future proof'

… would be interesting to know on what system they edit …

speaking of future proof: no VR/360 … SCNR!!

Vatican Media and Sony Professional Solutions continue their joint effort to study and evaluate future technology possibilities for capture and archive with the Christmas Eve Mass, December 24, 2017, at 9:30pm in Rome, presided by Pope Francis from St. Peter’s Basilica, where a trial capture in 8K will take place.

A single Sony UHC-8300 camera equipped with three 1.25-inch 8K sensors positioned in the Basilica will capture the most poignant images of the liturgical ceremony. The UHC-8300 camera system, introduced during IBC 2017, can be used not only for 8K production, but also for 4K. It’s able to generate 8K, 4K and HD signal outputs simultaneously applying different color spaces and multiple High Dynamic Range flavors. Real time cut outs from an 8K picture to a 4K image provide flexible framing when capturing large shots, enhancing the creativity and ultimately leading to a better program. For this current test, an UHC-8300 and two PWS-4500, 4K live server will record and capture 8K 120p images,

wow...

I find it interesting that camera manufactures and camera operators go on and on abut 4K, 6K, 8K and onward, getting more hyper-realistic images. But then there's the huge complaint that digital isn't the artistic look as film, so we scramble to get our digital images to look like analog celluloid film stock. So much effort to go sideways...

But that is an impressive piece of technology, IMHO. All those resolutions live fed out all at once. Cause we need all this resolutions of everything all at once. HA-HA!

I wonder what the cutting edge film making will be like when my kids are my age?
