Atomos Limited announced that it has completed development of a world class 8K video sensor which allows cameras to record in 8K ultra high definition. Atomos acquired the intellectual property rights and technical team from broadcast equipment firm, Grass Valley five years ago to develop a 8K video sensor. 8K video has four times the resolution of 4K video and allows video creators much greater flexibility when zooming in or cropping their shots during editing, as the resulting shot maintains sharp resolution.

There are several 8K televisions already in the market from Samsung, Sony and LG and 8K gaming consoles are expected soon. 8K content however has been lagging because, outside of big camera makers such as Sony, owning 8K sensor technology is extremely rare. Development of Atomos' 8K sensor is now complete.

The Company is actively exploring opportunities for commercialisation and is in discussion with several camera makers who are showing great interest.
