The super-high-definition (SHD) movie distribution system described in this paper can transmit and display exceptionally high quality movies using an image container with 4096/spl times/2160 pixel resolution and 36-bit color. The total bit rate of an SHD movie to be shown at 24 frames per second is 7.6 Gbps, and should be compressed by 15:1 for transmission via Gigabit IP networks. The system is based on JPEG2000 coding technology. Coded streams of 500 Mbps can be continuously transmitted from the server to the real-time decoder, from which decompressed SHD movies are projected onto a screen.
