Do you really believe "2K (1080P) with HDR and WCG is where content will move
over the next decade"?
Homestly?
Consider that cable at the moment seems to be, at best, a 1080i stream
prefiltered before
transmission down to about 1080 (with a really bad Kell factor) x 1200 and
using perhaps 5Mbps,
and OTA ATSC seems to be almost as bad (i.e. two "HD" and two "SD" channels in
one ATSC 19 Mbps)
channel. At "usual" our Comcast "HD" channels (e.g. look at Fox News) seem to
be 360x640 with really
really bad MPEG artifacts (i.e. dark areas seem to change only 4 times per
second, no time interpolation at all!).
Those bad channels, like Fox News and many others, are just as watchable on my
1954 COLOR TV
(i.e. with only 250,000 or so color triads) as on my top notch plain 55 inch HD
Sony. And they would be
even better on a 1951 COLOR TV using the CBS field sequential system (yes, I've
seen those, including myself live on one,
and almost bought one last summer.)
I'd be happy with REAL 720o or 1080i at high bit rate. At least its better
than 1951 color TV.
You folks are now talking about the cloud-cuckoo land of "standards that are
actually 'filled up'
with information" rather than reality.

What video is sourced at the 4K level today? Broadcast, cable, DVD, Blu Ray?
