Tetsuya Hayashida

After receiving his Master’s degree in Information Engineering from Kyushu University in 1994, he joined Japan Broadcasting Corporation(NHK) and began his career at the Fukuoka Broadcasting Station.
In 1996, he moved to the NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories (STRL), where he has since been engaged in a wide range of research and development projects in advanced imaging technologies.
His early research focused on the development of ultra-high-sensitivity image sensors and ultra-high-speed CCD cameras, aiming to push the boundaries of what camera systems could achieve in terms of sensitivity and temporal resolution.
He also played a key role in the development of full-spec Super Hi-Vision (SHV) production systems, contributing to NHK's long-standing efforts in promoting next-generation broadcasting technologies.
In 2022, he began focusing on the research and development of high-quality 360-degree video acquisition systems. This work supports the advancement of immersive media technologies, which are expected to play an increasingly important role in future broadcasting and user experiences.
He is currently a member of the Advanced Television Systems Research Division at NHK STRL, where he continues to explore new approaches in imaging and immersive video technologies to support the evolution of broadcasting.
