"Like most TV tech terms, you¡¯ve probably heard of 4K and 4K resolution ¨C but what is it? In this guide, we¡¯ll explain what 4K is, take a look at the newest 4K Ultra HD technologies, clarify the differences between 4K, HD or even 8K displays, and explain why all of these terms matter when you're in the market for a new TV."
What is 4K resolution? |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThere's a video somewhere on YouTube by a colorist who does color grading for movies and TV shows including Netflix.? He showed the steps he goes through to color grade a show.? People were aghast at the original raw footage shot for a movie. The first step is he set the scene to be black and white because humans are more sensitive to contrast than color.? After that he adjusts the color.? The software he (and the industry) uses is open source.? He said the studios want the masters saved in formats that can't currently even be played on anything.? He finished by saying he'd really like to have TV that would last more than two years (before it is out of style).It's all about the money and keeping consumers hooked on buying new TVs.? 8K? Most people who have bought a new TV 40" or larger the last few years have a 4K TV.? Many don't know what content is available 4K.? Some streaming services mark their shows 4K but sometimes not even if the stream (which is nothing but a file) is 4K.? Reason it they probably reserve bandwidth for the ones marked 4K and if bandwidth is available the unmarked get streamed 4K too. This is mainly to avoid support calls asking "why am I not seeing this show in 4K?" A few years back I was helping out a small streaming company.? They showed a lot of B movies.? They told me they were already getting movies on portable terabyte hard drives with a 4K master.? There is a lot of 4K out there to watch. On 5/3/21 7:53 AM, WillyTex via
