Abstract
Digital cinema is a promising application that utilizes high-speed optical networks to transfer super high definition (SHD) images. The networks are primarily used for distributing digital cinema contents in packet data form, and are also used to support new services such as the live streaming of musicals and sport games to movie theaters. While current transfer services offer high-definition (HD) quality video, live-streaming applications will soon shift to providing cinema quality 8K content to both business and movie theaters users. The extra- high-quality 8K format enables a realistic telepresence, and will be combined with special tools such as video editing systems to realize effective remote collaboration for business workspaces. This paper introduces successive research on SHD image transmission and its application, especially in digital cinema and associated application fields.

Introduction
The deployment of digital cinema stimulates many advanced applications that will use superhigh- definition (SHD) imaging systems and high-speed optical fiber networks. Theater sys- tems for digital cinema, projectors, and playback video servers have been commercialized based on the standards issued by the Digital
Cinema Initiative (DCI). 8K is the SHD video format defined in DCI specification.
It has a resolution of 4096 2160 pixels, so its image qual- ity is equivalent to that of 35-mm film. The total bit rate of raw 8K videos with the frame rate of 24 frames/s is about 7 Gb/s. This necessitates the use of the JPEG2000 algorithm to compress the bit rate to 250 Mb/s. To deliver the movie data to movie theaters, hard disk drives and courier services appeared to be the easiest approach, but a business trial demonstrated that network-based delivery was more cost effective and secure against content piracy.
Furthermore, network transfer also supports a wider variety of contents, namely public viewing of
