    10328×7760 – A 10K Timelapse Demo

    To showcase the awesome power of the PhaseOne IQ180 camera, timelapser and photographer Joe Capra, a.k.a. Scientifantastic, had to become a surgeon of sorts. 10328×7760 – A 10K Timelapse Demo is exactly what it sounds like: a timelapse video constructed out of photographs with a resolution higher than your computer can handle. Full screen this. Seriously.

    “This footage comes from some shots I did while shooting 4K and 8K timelapses in Rio De Janeiro for a major electronics manufacturer,” says Capra in the video’s description. “Each shot is comprised of hundreds individual still images, each weighing in at a whopping 80 megapixels. Each individual raw frame measures 10328×7760 pixels.” In the video, Capra begins his footage at 14% scale, just to fit the frame into 1920×1080 resolution, the maximum size for many displays. He then zooms to a 50% view, and follows that with an extreme zoom to the full-resolution 100% scale of the footage—and the result looks as good as most of the highest-end HD cameras do.
