What is 4K Video?

4K or 4K resolution means a video media (file, stream, disc, .etc), or video device (camera, display, projector, .etc) has approximately 4,000 pixels in horizontal direction.

In digital cinema field, Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) is the dominant 4K standard. The resolution of this 4K standard is 4096x2160, 4 times of DCI 2K (2048x1080). The aspect ratio of DCI 4K is approximately 1.9:1. In digital television area, UHD-1 or ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV) defined in ITU BT.2020 in 2012, is the dominant 4K standard. It has a resolution of 3840x2160 (aspect ratio 16:9 or 1.78:1), 4 times of 1080p Full HD. It's also called 2160p.

In ITU BT.2020, UHDTV only supports progressive scan, which means there is only 2160p, and there isn't a 2160i format. The frame rate of UHDTV can be 120, 60, 59.94, 50, 30, 29.97, 25, 24, and 23.976.

Most 4K videos use High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) as compression method. Others may use AVC/H.264. From 2013, YouTube also uses VP9 to compress 4K video. HEVC should allow the streaming of content with a 4K resolution with a bandwidth of between 20 to 30 Mbps, which require 13 to 20 GB disk space for a 90-minute movie. Videos in HEVC or AVC format usually use MP4 or MOV file container to hold them. VP9 video is usually used in WebM file.

4K video uses too much disk storage, network bandwith, and has very high requirement on display devices. To save space of disk or memory, or enjoy 4K video on normal computer, television or mobile device, you can convert them to lower resolution video format.
