“No” Compromise on Quality? [Report from the Standards Vice President]
Hans Hoffmann · SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal · 2013
In recent years, ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV) has been under debate in standards bodies and the subject of highlyimpressive demonstrations. Now, the debate has moved into the living room with the commercial availability of displays that provide resolution of four times HDTV. These are displays with 3840 × 2160 pixel resolution, run mostly under the slightly incorrect abbreviation “4K;” more correctly, the abbreviation of UHD-1 (Ultra High Definition Level 1, Level 2 would correspond to 7680 × 4320 pixel) will be used in this editorial.
