The 8K Association the sixteen member industry forum to promote the 8K Television ecosystem started last year by Samsung and a number of other TV manufacturers, has released its first set of 'Performance Specification for Consumer TVs', as defined by the association's members as part of the 8KA technical program.
“Defining the key attributes for an 8K TV specification demonstrates the 8KA’s focus to quickly define a critical step in the growth in next-generation video technology”, noted 8KA Executive Director, Chris Chinnock.
The new 8K TV specification includes recommended performance levels for High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Color performance along with interface requirements to help ensure consumers have confidence in their newly purchased 8K TVs. A compliance test set will be developed next by 8K Association members, thus enabling a transparent testing process. The 8KA plans to promote a logo on any member’s 8K TV that meets or exceeds the newly defined technical standard.
The newly released tech spec includes specifications for 8K Input Parameters (bit depth, frame rate, chroma sub-sampling), Display Performance (resolution, peak brightness, black level, color gamut, white point), and the Interface & Media formats (High Dynamic Range, codec).
● Resolution: 7680 x 4320 pixels
● Input Frame Rate: 24p, 30p and 60p frames per second
● Display Luminance: More than 600 nits peak Luminance
● Codec: HEVC
● Interface: HDMI 2.1
● Additional performance and interface specifications (available to members)
The 8K Association saw its membership having more than double over the past months. The newest members are: Astro Design, ATEME, Chili, Innolux, Intel, Louis Pictures, Novatek, Samsung Display, Tencent, V-Silicon and Xperi. They join Samsung Electronics, Panasonic. AU Optronics, Hisense and TCL. Also in the process of joining is UltraFlix.
The 8KA membership now includes TV brands that hold over 40% of the TV market in the United States in the 1st half of 2019 and an estimated 90% of 8K panel production to date.
