What is 4K?

• The technology of displaying and processing high resolution video
• Resolutions of 8-9 Mpixel (~4K pixels horizontally):

– DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) – 4096x2160 – Quad HD – 3840x2160

Resolution comparison

4K is: 21x SD 10x HD720p 4x HD1080p

You can see more details…

Or a wider perspective…

Uncompressed 4K video stream

• 4K Resolution (4096x2160): ~9 Mpixels
• Single 4K frame size (RGB, 24 bit/pixel - TrueColor): 26 MBytes
• Video stream 24 fps

– 625 MBytes / s = 5 Gbit/s – 37,5 GBytes / minute – 2,25 TBytes / hour
