HDTV News: JVC has demonstrated a prototype of its ultra-high definition camera for TV and movies at CEATEC, the consumer electronics and IT trade show in Japan.

The 4K camera shoots 30 frames-per-second video at 3840 x 2048 pixels.

This gives a total resolution equivalent to four current-generation high-definition screens.

The camera, which weighs a hefty 10kg, is designed for the professional TV market, but could also be used in the movie industry, which has started to use high-resolution systems.
