Large Screen Display
Features and trends
Applications that require very large screen display include full-dome projection and other immersive display solutions for science centers, planetariums, museums and entertainment centers; outdoor displays for public events, and giant video walls used for digital signage.
A new generation of large screen applications is emerging exploiting new visualization technologies that allow to present larger, brighter, and higher quality images and video.
| Next Generation Features | Video Specs | Improvements |
|---|---|---|
| Very Large Resolution [px] | From current FHD and 4K to 8K, 12K and beyond | More immersive displays |
| High Frame Rate [Hz] | 50/60, 100/120, and beyond | Improve motion representation |
| High Bit Depth | 10- and 12-bit | Avoid banding artefacts and improve image quality |
| High Dynamic Range | PQ, HLG and new HDR formats | Proper representation of very dark and bright content:e.g. planetarium content |
| Very High Quality Video | RAW or low compression | No noticable compression artifacts |
| Scalable Solutions | Connect multiple media players together | Enable very large displays |
