Educational  policy  trends  regarding  advanced  video  technology  (4K/8K)   in  Thailand

Ø OHEC  does  not  have  policy  to  utilize  advanced  video  technology  (4K/8K) in  Thai  HE  in  the  near  future.

Ø Thailand  is  ready  to  utilize  advanced  video  technology  technology (4K/8K)  in  terms  of  IT  infrastructure  with  the  operation  of  UniNet.  

Ø However,  the  contents  produced  in  Thailand  are  not  compatible with  such  advanced  video  technology.
