The 8K race is in full swing in 2018

The 8K race is beginning full swing in 2018. Flying drones and skating robots were some of the tech innovations that grabbed headlines at last month's PyeongChang Winter Games in South Korea. But offstage, there was Japanese broadcaster NHK and Korean counterpart KBS' trial of 8K UHD (Ultra High Definition) broadcast. More subtle perhaps, but the race to commercialize 8K UHD from broadcasters, content providers, and TV manufacturers is real, and will be in full swing this year. NHK will start broadcasting an 8K channel in December.
