The new generation of information technology is developing vigorously. As a new round of major information technology reforms after digitization and high-definition, ultra-high-definition video, integrated with 5G, AI, VR/AR, cloud computing, and other technologies, is developing in-depth in various industries and fields. . The integration of UHD and medical, industrial, security and other industries has formed an overall construction pattern blooming everywhere.

　　 In 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic will strike. With the support of 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other emerging information technologies, related application scenarios such as smart medicine, telemedicine, and medical cloud have become hot topics in the medical field. The application of ultra-high-definition cameras in the medical field also attracted wide attention from the industry during this period, ushering in a historic development opportunity.

　　 Under the traction of 5G technology, ultra-high-definition camera video provides new scenarios, new elements, and new tools for consumption upgrading, industry innovation, and digital transformation with stronger information-carrying capacity and more potential application value. New network features have spawned new industry demands, and new demands have brought more ultra-high-definition innovative applications and formats

Ultra HD applications are blooming everywhere

Since the release of the "Ultra HD Video Industry Development Action Plan (2019-2022)", ultra-high-definition video and 5G, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, industrial Internet, and other technologies have accelerated in-depth integration, giving birth to a large number of new scenarios, new applications, and new models.

In 2020, under the tense situation of the national new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control, the combination of face recognition cameras and 5G technology has played more important values in telemedicine, remote office, security monitoring, etc., and realized the Vulcan Mountain and Thunder Mountain. 24-hour uninterrupted 5G high-definition real-time live broadcast at the hospital construction site; the experimental verification work of the "5G+8K+ satellite + mobile phone live broadcast" report carried out during the National People’s Congress and the National People’s Congress has allowed the four borders of the motherland (Kashgar, Mohe, Weihai, and Sanya) to pass Watch the live reports of the two sessions on 8K TV and 5G mobile phones.

　　 With the rapid popularization of 5G commercial use, smart camera HD video has gone through a period of accumulation and momentum, and quickly entered the application landing stage.

UHD Medical Continues to Meet Emerging Forces

　　 The "Ultra HD Industry Development Action Plan (2019-2022)" pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate the innovation and application of key industries, focusing on vertical fields such as radio and television, culture, education and entertainment, security monitoring, medical health, intelligent transportation, and industrial manufacturing.

　　 Broadcasting and television, culture, education, and entertainment are the first application areas in the ultra-high-definition industry and the largest market share. With the rapid development of the industry, scene applications in medical, industrial, and other professional fields are gradually enriched.

　　 Statistics from the CCID Think Tank show that in 2022, my country’s ultra-high-definition video application market is expected to reach 504 billion yuan in medical and health, security monitoring, intelligent transportation, and other fields. The overall content and application sector occupies about half of the ultra-high-definition market.

　　In the medical field, the improvement of display clarity has greatly improved the speed and accuracy of doctors' judgment on medical images. According to data from the market research organization IDC, 2020 is the upgrading period of the traditional HIS (Hospital Management Information System). With the exponential growth of data brought by the development of ultra-high-definition medical imaging, the hospital’s real-time restoration of 4K ultra-high-definition medical imaging Demand will drive the rapid growth of ultra-high-definition resolution display devices.

The UHD upper and midstream industry chain has gradually strengthened, driving the demand for downstream applications to increase, and medical care has become a key vertical field in Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, Anhui, Hunan, and other places to promote the development of the UHD industry; downstream chains such as home appliance display companies and startup companies Domestic companies have actively invested in the research and development of 4K/8K medical devices, and various ultra-high-definition devices have entered hospital departments and operating rooms, and have entered the stage of practice.

At the 2020 World Ultra HD Video (4K/8K) Industry Development Conference, the exhibitor Hisense launched the latest generation of 4K Ultra HD endoscopic displays in July 2019, completing a breakthrough in domestic high-end medical equipment; in order to realize medical imaging Accurately restored and refined, Hisense independently developed two core display technologies, 4K ultra-high-definition wide color gamut and RPE real-time image enhancement. Sharp brought the 8Ksmart access control medical solution to the exhibition site. Through the 8K display of medical images, you can truly feel the advantages of ultra-high-definition details. In April this year, the Department of Gastrointestinal and Anal Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University carried out the "4K high-definition fluorescence visualization laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer" in western Guangdong. The hospital's surgical team combined 4K and fluorescence in laparoscopic surgery, revealing the location of the tumor in real-time, thereby accurately and completely completing the resection, and achieving individual, minimally invasive treatment.
