"The Italian broadcaster, RAI, demonstrated satellite broadcasting of
SHV at 140 Mbit/s from Turin to IBC."
Super Hi-Vision has a resolution of 4320x7860 (and also carries 22.2
channel sound). IIRC the video codec used was Dirac.
>From the Dirac website:-
"In our first experiments, we managed to get excellent picture quality
at 128Mb/s, which sounds huge but is equivalent to just 4Mb/s for HDTV."
