8K dynabook for 8K video editing
Sharp also showcased a prototype dynabook notebook PC that could power editing of 8K video in real time. However, the video editing was also performed by an external GPU box (Quadro RTX 4000) connected to the laptop via a Thunderbolt 3 cable.
Nevertheless, it was a demonstration of real-time editing of 8K video using Adobe Premiere.
The 15.6-inch laptop (4K LCD) prototype was based on the dynabook Z series. It used a 10th generation Core i7-10710U processor, 32GB of memory, and a 2TB SSD.
A concept Sharp 5G smartphone equipped with a 8K camera as well as a 90-inch transparent liquid crystal display were also on display.
