Development of an 8K UHDTV Wireless Camera Using Millimeter-Wave Bands

Wireless cameras enable dynamic shooting and have become indispensable in television program production for sporting events and music concerts. Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) has researched and developed an 8K ultrahigh-definition television (UHDTV) wireless camera using millimeter waves that can transmit an 8K signal with low latency and high quality. We have prototyped a compact transmitter using the 42-GHz band and developed an 8K UHDTV wireless camera by combining this transmitter with a portable 8K UHDTV video encoder. In this study, we introduce a prototype 8K UHDTV wireless camera system using millimeter waves and report the results of laboratory and field wireless transmission experiments
