Markets and Applications/
Large Screen Display
Features and Trends
Applications that require very large screen displays include full-dome projection for planetariums, deep space, and other immersive display solutions for science centers, 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 |
