Last August, the trial broadcasting of Super Hi-Vision by satellite in Japan had been launched with our predetermined schedule. Moreover, studies to realize next-generation terrestrial broadcasting are planned. NHK STRL has been conducting R&D on large-capacity transmission technologies to realize terrestrial Super Hi-Vision broadcasting and has successfully carried out Super Hi-Vision video transmission experiments with the prototype system. This presentation mainly introduces an overview of R&D for next generation terrestrial broadcasting in Japan.
