32K resolution

32K resolution refers to a display resolution of approximately 32,000 pixels horizontally. A resolution of 30720 × 17280 for an aspect ratio of 16:9 is speculated to be standardized. This doubles the pixel count of 16K in each dimension, for a total of 530.8 megapixels (530,841,600 pixels), 4x as many pixels than 16K resolution. It has 16 times as many pixels as 8K resolution, 64 times as many pixels as 4K resolution, and 256 times the pixels as 1080p resolution.

There are plans from different groups to start implementing 32K technology. While there are a few cameras that can shoot in 32K resolution,[1] 8K still does not have as widespread usage as 1080p and 4K do. There are less than 3% of televisions using 8K, and virtually none using 16K.[2]

Two limiting factors in 32K are display resolution and CPU/GPU capability.[3]

History

Development

In 2018, Sony installed a 16K screen into the front of a cosmetics store in Yokohama, south of Tokyo. The 63 ft (19 m) widescreen display is believed to be the largest 16K screen yet. Sony has plans to make the product available, in custom sizes, for wealthy consumers. They are currently working on developing a 32K display.[4][5]

Currently, it is possible to run 32K resolutions using multi-monitor setups with AMD Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround using 16 8K TVs or monitors. However, this type of setup is costly and difficult to implement. No displays or monitors singly capable of displaying a 32K resolution are available to the consumer market yet.

Cameras in development
  • Zabriskie Point in 32K Resolution[6]
  • The Linea HS 32K[7]

Cameras
  • Dalsa 32K Super Resolution CLHS Camera[1][8]

Gaming

Gaming at 32K is very unlikely to be possible in the near future. To achieve the resolution, sixteen 8K televisions or monitors in a multi-monitor setups with AMD Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround would be required.

Editing

Currently, only Blackmagic Designs DaVinci Resolve 17 supports editing at 32K resolution.[9]
