The Ultra-Real, 240fps Demonstration ( ?!? )

[Neo 1977]

Gran Turismo in 4 times the resolution of Full HD

Polyphony Digital also presented two technological trials for the next generation at this event. Both of the presentations, were founded on the philosophy of “achieving the highest possible quality” held over the years by Gran Turismo.
One of these, was a time trial competition using Sony’s newest digital cinema projector, the “SRX-S110”. Gran Turismo 5 prologue is already in Full HD resolution at 1920 x 1080 pixels, providing the highest resolution possible in today’s TV content. However in this time trial, the Full HD image was increased to twice the resolution both vertically and horizontally (4x the surface area), enabling game play at an ultra high resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. This was performed by connecting and synchronizing four Playstation 3’s outputting a quarter of the image each at 1920x1080 pixels, but you must remember this demands an extremely high quality image from the source that can withstand the ultra high resolution. It can be said that this demonstration was only made possible, because the source image was Gran Turismo.






What supported this time trial on the display side, was the newest digital cinema projector from Sony, the SRX-110. This “4K”SXRD”(*1) projector is the next generation in projector technology, enabling a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels, equivalent to the high resolution image of 35mm film. The high 4000:1 device contrast ratio and a response time of 5 milliseconds, also adds to the level of breathtaking image expression introduced here.
The crowd was simply amazed by the clarity of the image displayed on the massive 220 inch screen, and the players who participated in the time trial expressed their excitement of how perfectly in focus the screen is even close up, and at the quality of Gran Turismo.



The Ultra-Real, 240fps Demonstration

The other display was a playable demonstration on a Nano-Spindt FED / Field Emissions Display developed by Sony, with a frame rate of 240fps (240 frames per second).
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has already achieved a frame rate of 60p (progressive), but in this demo, Gran Turismo was made playable at four times this frame rate at 240fps.
The SXRD demonstration described above used four PS3’s to improve image quality, but this used the same to increase the frame rate.
The display used in this demonstration was the 19 inch nano-Spindt FED screen produced by FE Technologies, who is a company that has taken over the development of the FED technology that was being developed at Sony. This display contains over 10,000 electron sources called the nano-spindt emitter, per pixcel. A fluorescent substance is exposed to the electrons from the emitters to produce light, and this format is very close to a cathode-ray tube in principle. The resulting view angle is wider in comparison to a LCD panel, and it shows superior performance when displaying moving images, with no blurring of the outline.






Four PS3’s were also used in this demonstration. The frame rate of a single PS3 is 60fps, or 1/60 of a second, but by having four PS3’s draw an image four times within this 1/60 of a second, a frame rate of 1/240 of a second is made possible.



You can see the shocking difference of this high frame rate Gran Turismo immediately when you see the screen. It is as though you are following a real world event happening right in front of your face with your own eyes. Any and all flickering in the movement of the vehicle, in the smoke from the tires, etc. are completely gone, and you are almost tricked into believing you are watching something in real life. The guests at the event were baffled by the quality of the image, and stared in amazement at the screen.

The event merging cars, art, design and music, reached its finale with great success, and through two revolutionary demonstrations, Gran Turismo has also succeeded in producing a clear image of the future, and the road to get there.

ci ho capito poco meno di una mazza

[Gogeta ssj]

si si tutto molto bello, ma devo spendere una fortuna. 4 PS3 e quel proiettore che da solo costerà 10.000€

preferisco il mio HD ready da 26" e 60 FPS

[Pier-A7X]

io pure, ma che è una fusion tra la potenza di 4 ps3? nn capisco a che serva sul lato pratico...o forse è una anticipazione della "possibile" potenza di ps4..bhò

[99MIKE]

che fastidio mi danno ste cose, si perdono in certe cagate per poi impiegare anni per fare un gioco.

[scrat91]

infatti, cazzo che pensano a questa gen che è manco incominciato, dio santo che ci facciamo di 240 fps al secondo? cioe dai che gasati di merda!!

[FrankyeSNK]

infatti, cazzo che pensano a questa gen che è manco incominciato, dio santo che ci facciamo di 240 fps al secondo? cioe dai che gasati di merda!!

in effetti mi pare una cosa davvero esagerata per adesso

[scrat91]

cioe la next gen dovrebbe avere la risoluzione a 4096 x 2160 O.o
ma se la maggior parte di sviluppatori non riescono a fare 1920x1080 e 60 fps stabili vogliono fare 4096x2160 e 240 fps al secondo??

Spoiler:

ma lol

che pensano a cose piu serie cristo...

[Xenoray]

Solite merdate per far vedere che la ps3 è potente bla bla bla..

[Kiactus]

Vi immaginate i prossimi giochi Sony con la dicitura:
"Necessita di 3 PS3"

[christian_drago]

oddio o_o
se una PS3 muove un 1/4 di schermo a 1920x1080p @ 60fps, che cacchio c'entrano i 240 fps?

[Azure Kite]

Che c'entra? Che per quella grafica devi aspettare il Wii3, la X1060 e la PS5, ecco che c'entra.

[SEMENTIN]

è la volta buona che passo alla concorrenza

[scrat91]

poi credo sia normale quando metti le console in parallelo( cioe li attacchi e li fai lavorare in parallelo l una con l altra) aumenti la potenza in proporzione alle console che metti..cioe ci vuole un genio?? se metti due console allora potra sopportare due volte 1920.1080 X 2 e cosi via...

[Kawato]

Ma sbaglio o non ha senso sommare in quel modo i frame al secondo?
Cioè l'immagine intera si aggiorna sempre a 60fps, anche se divisa in 4.

eh?
loro dicono di riuscire a far girare Gran Turismo 5 Prologue a 3840x2160p @ 240fps con 4 Ps3
allora UNA Ps3 muove 1/4 di schermo a 1920x1080p @ 60fps, quindi 240fps non c'entrano niente perchè puoi sommare la risoluzione ma non il frame-rate

esattamente quello che ho detto io
