This negatively impacts the rendering of text, making it a bit fuzzier, which is especially noticeable when a TV is used as a PC monitor. In 2019, Sony was granted the CinemaWide trademark by
1406-418: Is most commonly used in reference to the 4K UHDTV resolution of 3840 × 2160 due to its association with the well-known 720p and 1080p HDTV formats. Although 3840 × 2160 is both a 4K resolution and a 2160p resolution, these terms cannot always be used interchangeably since not all 4K resolutions are 2160 pixels tall, and not all 2160p resolutions are ≈4000 pixels wide. However, some companies have begun using

#17328017189271628-513: The 2014 FIFA World Cup (via private tests and public viewings in the host city of Rio de Janeiro ), the 2018 FIFA World Cup was the first FIFA World Cup in which all matches were produced in 4K. Host Broadcasting Services stated that at least 75% of the broadcast cut on each match would come from 4K cameras (covering the majority of main angles), with instant replays and some camera angles being upconverted from 1080p sources. These broadcasts were made available from selected rightsholders, such as
1702-438: The 2016 Juno Awards in 4K as the first awards show presented in the format. In February 2016, Spanish-language Univision trialed 4K by producing a closed-circuit TV broadcast of a football friendly between the national teams of Mexico and Senegal from Miami (America) in the format. The broadcast was streamed privately to several special viewing locations. Univision aimed to develop a 4K streaming app to publicly televise
1776-458: The 2024 Summer Olympics , USA Network's "4K" coverage was sourced from host broadcaster Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) in 4K, but downconverted to 1080p when received by NBC Sports ' studios, and then upconverted to 4K for distribution. Most "K" resolutions are the result of multiplying a base width of either 960 or 1024 pixels by a simple, often integer factor and then may come in a variets of heights and aspect ratios. In some other cases,
1850-781: The ARTC HD63484 graphics processor, which was capable of displaying up to 4K resolution when in monochrome mode. The resolution was targeted at the bit-mapped desktop publishing market. The first commercially available 4K camera for cinematographic purposes was the Dalsa Origin , released in 2003. 4K technology was developed by several research groups in universities around the world, such as University of California, San Diego , CALIT2 , Keio University , Naval Postgraduate School and others that realized several demonstrations in venues such as IGrid in 2004 and CineGrid . YouTube began supporting 4K for video uploads in 2010 as
1924-958: The BBC in the UK, and selected television providers in the United States. Technical limitations in distributing 4K broadcasts (including the increased cost of 4K-compatible production equipment) have led to some broadcasters deciding against the format in favour of emphasizing 1080p/HDR broadcasts instead. After having broadcast UEFA Euro and the Champions League final in the format, UEFA discontinued 4K coverage for both in 2024, as broadcasters elected to put resources behind HDR and other on-air features instead. Some U.S. broadcasters, such as CBS Sports , Fox Sports , and USA Network have broadcast events promoted as having "4K" feeds, but are actually 1080p/HDR broadcasts upconverted to 4K. For

3922-528: The only major maker marketing a comprehensive 4K projection solution as of 2015. At normal direct-view panel sizes and viewing distances, critics claim the extra pixels of 4K are redundant with normal human vision . Projection home cinemas on the other hand use much larger screen sizes without necessarily increasing viewing distance to scale. The company has used a technique now called "e-shift" to extrapolate extra pixels from 1080p sources to either display 4K on screens via upscaling or from native 4K sources at
3996-399: The pixel structures would have 1/4 the area of 1080p; it just doesn't happen with pixel shifting. That much resolution is only carried by a true 4K projector. This is why "true" 4K costs so much more than 4K UHD projectors that have more or less similar feature sets. They produce smaller pixels, finer resolution—no loss of detail or color from the overlapping pixels. This is in stark contrast to

On April 11, 2013, Bulb TV created by Canadian serial entrepreneur Evan Kosiner became the first broadcaster to provide a 4K linear channel and VOD content to cable and satellite companies in North America. The channel is licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to provide educational content. By late 2014, 4K content
4366-668: The term "4K photo" for still photographs, making it appear like an especially high resolution even though 3840×2160 pixels equal approximately 8.3 megapixels, which is not considered to be especially high for still photographs. In 2005, Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), a prominent standards organization in the cinema industry, published the Digital Cinema System Specification . This specification establishes standardized 2K and 4K container formats for digital cinema production, with resolutions of 2048 × 1080 and 4096 × 2160 respectively. The resolution of
4440-425: The term "4K" to describe devices with support for a 2160p resolution, even if it is not close to 4000 pixels wide. For example, many "4K" dash cams only support a resolution of 2880 × 2160 (4∶3); although this is a 2160p resolution, it is not a 4K resolution. Conversely, Samsung released a 5120 × 2160 ( 64∶27 ) TV, but marketed it as a "4K" TV despite its 5K-class resolution . In 2015, LG Display announced
4514-576: The terms "4K", "4K UHD", or "4K UHDTV" to refer to the 3840 × 2160 system in public announcements and press releases (" 8K " for the 7680 × 4320 system). In some of ITU's other standards documents, the terms "UHDTV1" and "UHDTV2" are used as shorthand. In October 2012, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) announced their definition of the term Ultra High-Definition (or Ultra HD ) for use with marketing consumer display devices. CEA defines an Ultra HD product as

#17328017189274588-413: The timing reference. Codes 4 through 63 provide video data below the black level while codes 941 through 1,019 provide video data above the nominal peak. 12 bits per sample Rec. 2020 uses video levels where the black level is defined as code 256 and the nominal peak is defined as code 3760. Codes 0–15 and 4,080–4,095 are used for the timing reference. Codes 16 through 255 provide video data below
4662-454: The top priority is compatibility with existing SDTV and HDTV operating practices. The luma (Y′) signal for YCbCr is calculated as the weighted average Y′ = K R ⋅R′ + K G ⋅G′ + K B ⋅B′, using the gamma-corrected RGB values (denoted R′G′B′) and the weighting coefficients K R = 0.2627, K G = 1−K R −K B = 0.678, and K B = 0.0593. As in similar schemes ,
4736-492: The top priority is the most accurate retention of luminance information. The luma component in YcCbcCrc is calculated using the same coefficient values as for YCbCr, but it is calculated from linear RGB and then gamma corrected, rather than being calculated from gamma-corrected R′G′B′ and is done as follows: Y′ = (K R ⋅R + K G ⋅G + K B ⋅B)′. The chroma components in YcCbcCrc are calculated from
4810-499: The video content inside follows the SMPTE 428-1 standard, which establishes the following resolutions for a 4K distribution: 2K distributions can have a frame rate of either 24 or 48 FPS , while 4K distributions must have a frame rate of 24 FPS. Some articles claim that the terms "2K" and "4K" were coined by DCI and refer exclusively to the 2K and 4K formats defined in the DCI standard. However, usage of these terms in
4884-445: The year 2015, Apple announced the iPhone 6s was released with the 12 megapixel camera that has the option to record 4K at 25 or 30 frames per second. In the years 2017 and 2018, mobile phone chipsets reached sufficient processing power that mobile phone vendors started releasing mobile phones that allow recording 2160p footage at 60 frames per second for a smoother and more realistic appearance. In 1984, Hitachi released
4958-465: Was added based on proposal JCTVC-K0109 which proposed that a 10-bit profile be added to HEVC for consumer applications. The proposal stated that this was to allow for improved video quality and to support the Rec. 2020 color space that will be used by UHDTV. On September 11, 2013, ViXS Systems announced the XCode 6400 SoC which supports 4K resolution at 60 fps, the Main 10 profile of HEVC, and
5032-447: Was also chosen by the DVB project for their 4K broadcasting standard, UHD-1 . This resolution has an aspect ratio of 16∶9, with 8,294,400 total pixels. It is exactly double the horizontal and vertical resolution of 1080p ( 1920 × 1080 ) for a total of 4 times as many pixels, and triple the horizontal and vertical resolution of 720p ( 1280 × 720 ) for a total of 9 times as many pixels. It
5106-675: Was available for streaming and broadcast on television, both in 4K, by CBS in the US. The first mobile phones to be able to record at 2160p ( 3840 × 2160 ) were released in late 2013, including the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 , which is able to record 2160p at 30 frames per second. In the year 2014, the OnePlus One was released with the option to record DCI 4K ( 4096 × 2160 ) at 24 frames per second, as well as LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with optical image stabilization . In
5180-752: Was becoming more widely available online, including on Apple TV, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. By 2013, some UHDTV models were available to general consumers in the range of US$ 600. As of 2015 , prices on smaller computer and television panels had dropped below US$ 400. On March 26, 2013, the Advanced Television Systems Committee announced new proposals of a new standard called ATSC 3.0 which would implement UHD broadcasts at resolutions of up to 3840 × 2160 or 7680 × 4320 . The standard would also include framerates of up to 120 Hz, HEVC encoding, wide color gamut , as well as high dynamic range . In 2014,
5254-438: Was decided that it would use real colors, instead of imaginary colors , so that it would be possible to show the Rec. 2020 color space on a display without the need for conversion circuitry. Since a larger color space increases the difference between colors, an increase of 1 bit per sample is needed for Rec. 2020 to equal or exceed the color precision of Rec. 709. The NHK measured contrast sensitivity for
5328-527: Was introduced. On September 2, 2021, Fujifilm announced X-T3 WW ( w orld w ide) which simplifies supply chains and can be sold at a lower price since a battery charger is not included. The X-T3 is a mirrorless compact camera made by Fujifilm. It measures 132.5 mm x 92.8 mm x 58.8 mm and weighs 539 g including memory card and battery. Mechanical dials are provided for key operations, including shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation, drive modes and metering modes. It lacks built-in flash, but includes
5402-422: Was offering 4K projectors as early as 2004. The first 4K home theater projector was released by Sony in 2012. Despite this, there's not many finished films with 4K resolution as of 2023. Even for movies and TV shows shot using 6K or 8K cameras, almost all finished films are edited in HD resolution and enlarged to fit a 4K format. Sony is one of the leading studios promoting UHDTV content, as of 2013 offering
5476-510: Was posted on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) website on August 23, 2012, and two further editions have been published since then. Rec. 2020 is extended for high-dynamic-range (HDR) by Rec. 2100 , which uses the same color primaries as Rec. 2020. Rec. 2020 defines two standard image formats of 3840 × 2160 ("4K") and 7680 × 4320 ("8K"). These both have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and use square pixels . Rec. 2020 specifies
