NHK Compact Camera System

NHK, Japan’s public broadcaster, will introduce a new compact camera system featuring an 8K×8K square aspect ratio image sensor—a compact yet high-potential device designed to expand the vistas of content production.

As a pioneer in broadcast technology, NHK launched the world’s first 8K television service in 2018 and has been actively exploring ways to adapt this ultra-high resolution format for large-screen immersive experiences, including IMAX, dome theaters, and flying theaters.

In this screening, NHK will share details of the 8K×8K camera system and present test footage captured for wide field-of-view content.
