What is 4K?
4K is a new resolution standard designed for digital cinema and computer graphics. It has following advantages: higher image definition quality, more detailed picture, better fast-action and larger projection surface visibility.
4K format was named because it has 4000 pixels horizontal resolution approximately. Meanwhile, standard 1080p and 720p resolutions were named because of its vertical resolution. The new standard renders more than four times higher image definition than 1080p resolutions for example.
4K Video Converting issues?
Q – “Is there a 4K video converter that can convert 4K videos for free? I downloaded some 4k video clips with different file formats and want to transfer to my iPhone 6 32GB. So I need the best 4K video converter to do this job. I searched through the web but don’t know which one is to choose.”
Q – “I want to compress and convert 4K videos to 1080p files without loss of quality, but it seems most converters do not support videos with 4K ultra high definition. Has anyone got some professional 4K video converters and tutorials for me? How to convert 4k to 1080p/720p?”
We have been familiar with 1080p resolution from quite some years now. However, HD has taken a new leap with ‘4k UHD’ offering higher than 1080p resolution. 4k UHD is mainly used in digital cinema with 4096×2160 as its pixel resolution or Ultra HD television with 3840× 2160 as its resolution. The 4k technology allows the users to enjoy a very detailed screen of movies and videos which was not possible before. 4k being relatively new, there are not many devices that support 4k and rather limited options to play these videos in a 4k video player.
