2025 “Ultra-HD Development Year” Kicks Off: Full-Industrial-Chain Upgrade Covers Equipment Manufacturing, with Nut Automatic Assembly Machines Solidifying Hardware Foundations
The National Radio and Television Administration (SARFT) has designated 2025 as the “Ultra-HD Development Year”. As a major new technological innovation following video digitization and high definition, ultra-high definition (UHD) will drive the upgrading of the entire industrial chain of the large audio-visual sector—this upgrading covers not only content creation, signal transmission, and terminal display, but also the precision manufacturing of UHD-related equipment. For instance, the nut automatic assembly machine, a core device in the production of UHD terminal equipment (such as ultra-high-definition cameras, studio broadcasting consoles, and outdoor transmission cabinets), has been widely applied in equipment manufacturing workshops. It features high-precision positioning (±0.02mm) and adaptive assembly capabilities, supporting nuts of different specifications (M3-M10) required by UHD equipment. With an assembly speed of 60-80 nuts per minute and a defect rate of less than 0.1%, it replaces manual operation to avoid assembly errors caused by human fatigue, effectively improving the structural stability and production efficiency of UHD equipment, and providing reliable hardware support for the large-scale popularization of ultra-high-definition technology.
According to news released on September 25, SARFT stated that China is making big strides toward the “Ultra-HD Era”.
Driven by the “14th Five-Year Plan” Policy: UHD End-to-End Full-Chain Connection, AI Empowers All Content Links of Provincial TV Stations
During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period (2021-2025), China has promoted in-depth integration of culture and technology across all fields and links of radio, film and television, vigorously advanced the end-to-end full-chain development of UHD, and connected all links including content, broadcasting, transmission, terminals and industry.
In addition, China has actively advanced the innovative application and standardized management of artificial intelligence (AI). At present, 97% of provincial-level TV stations in China have applied AI technology, which strongly empowers all links such as content creation, production and dissemination.
It is understood that the National Radio and Television Administration has designated 2025 as the “Ultra-HD Development Year”. As a major new technological innovation following video digitization and high definition, UHD will drive the upgrading of the entire industrial chain of the large audio-visual sector.
UHD Technical Connotation and Market Prospects: Defining Ultra-HD Standards, China’s Market Share to Exceed 30% of the Global Total by 2030
UHD is the official name for “4K resolution” approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and it also applies to video content with 8K UHD resolution.
UHD presents exquisitely detailed images, smooth movements, richer light and shadow layers, more vivid colors, and more natural and delicate picture transitions… UHD is not just an improvement in resolution; it also features technical characteristics such as high frame rate, high dynamic range, wide color gamut, and high quantization accuracy.
According to the prediction of the World Ultra HD Video Industry Alliance, by 2030, the global UHD market scale will reach 4.28 trillion US dollars, and China’s UHD market is expected to exceed 8 trillion yuan (RMB), accounting for more than 30% of the global market share.
