Sharp’s 8K satellite receiver is ready for broadcasts to start in Japan
Japan’s NHK will kick off Super Hi-Vision 4K/8K broadcasts December 1st.
In Japan everything is timed to coincide with the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, and as such broadcaster NHK is planning to kick off hybrid 4K/8K broadcasts beginning December 1st.
Assuming you have access to an 8K TV or projector, you’ll need a box to actually catch and process the Super Hi-Vision video signal, and fortunately Sharp has one ready to connect to its 8K TV that has been on sale since 2017.
