China’s first 8K space film
Beyond the Blue Window will hit theaters on September 5. The announcement was made on August 19. Astronauts shot most of the film on China’s Space Station. The story comes from the Shenzhou-13 crew’s 6-month stay in space. 8K will let audiences enjoy a special Chinese space aesthetic.
The 2024 Paris Olympics also used 8K well. Its amazing 8K images drew global attention, just like the Beijing Winter Olympics. Now, 8K is moving into more areas—not just film and sports. It’s changing telemedicine, industrial checks, and security work.
Healthcare has seen huge changes from 8K. Before, surgeons couldn’t see inside the body clearly before operations. X-rays from the last century were blurry and caused mistakes. But 8K now works with AI and 3D tech. This helps doctors see tiny blood vessels. Difficult, risky surgeries are now possible.
8K’s panoramic shots also help AI. They provide clear, stable data. This data is key for self-driving cars and remote doctor visits. It makes these technologies smarter and more reliable.
But 8K has a big problem: storage. 8K needs lots of storage for long, high-res shoots.
Traditional storage can’t handle this. It drops frames, overheats, and wears out fast. This stops 8K from being used more widely.
Storage companies are looking for solutions. pSLC-based custom storage is a top choice. It’s fast and durable. Longsys is leading this effort. It makes storage plans just for 8K.
Longsys talked to many clients first. It found that scientific research, industry, and film making need storage that’s fast, stable, and long-lasting. So, Longsys used its PTM mode to make storage fit each client’s needs. PTM adjusts hardware and software. Unlike standard SSDs, it works right away and stays stable.
Longsys’ 8K SSD uses full pSLC. This
makes it super fast—over 5000MB/s. It can also hold 42,000TB of data. And it doesn’t overheat easily. This solves 8K’s storage problems.
In one project, Longsys made an SSD for a high-speed camera. The camera shoots 7000 frames per second and needs 8K storage. Longsys’ SSD worked perfectly. It also works for other 8K uses, like industrial checks.
Longsys’ PTM mode can change with future 8K needs. If 8K gets better—like higher resolution—Longsys can update its storage quickly.
8K is changing more than just how we see things. It’s changing the whole tech world. Storage will decide how far 8K goes. Longsys’ work breaks storage limits. It helps 8K spread to more fields. This not only helps 8K now but also gets ready for future ultra-high-res tech.
