Integration of Fogo Player and SAGE (Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment) for 8K UHD Video Exhibition

After 4K, 8K UHD resolution can be considered the new challenge for film, visualization and television. Due to the dimension of 8K image, the remote micro and macro images are considered appropriate for visualization with scientific and educational purposes. This article describes the implementation of the 8K video plug-in to play UHD videos into the SAGE, a collaborative environment for the advancement of scientific research and education developed by EVL (Electronic Visualization Laboratory), upgrading its current resolution for video playing. It also presents the challenges of producing 8K content, the development of the code and introduces the features to view 8K ultra high definition videos in multiple tiles through the use of low cost computer clusters. The SAGE 8K video plug-in implementation was made possible because of the previous development of the Fogo Player, a system to run 4K and 8K content. The results were successfully presented at the CineGrid International Workshop 2013 in San Diego.

基于扩展SMT协议的8K播放器视频互动方案及实现

本文首先简要介绍了我国自主研发的智能媒体传输协议(SMT),为实现超高清视频互动应用,提出了一套SMT信令扩展方案,定义了8K播放器与云服务器的接口,并在自研的8K播放器上实现了利用外置摄像头和8K播放器进行视频流自适应匹配。本文不仅为8K电视提供了一种多用户互动的使用场景,也完善了SMT信令结构,扩展了SMT协议的应用范围,对于推广和发展8K产业和自主的SMT协议具有积极作用。
