Apple Approves $999.99 App That Allows The Apple IPhone 5s To Shoot 4K Video
HEVC stands for High Efficiency Video Coding, a new technology for compressing dense Ultra HD video signals so they fit easily on optical discs or through Internet streaming. The most up to date 4K Ultra HD TVs should have an HEVC decoding chip that will allow viewing of 4K Ultra HD programs streamed through their Smart TV platforms. But just like 3D and HD before it, 4K has a case of putting the hardware chicken before the software egg.
If you can track it down, Ultraflix hosts hundreds of hours of 4K nature documentaries, including 40 titles originally created for IMAX, dozens of concerts, videos from acts like AC/DC and Madonna, and hundreds of hours of sci-fi, action comedy, and drama.
One of the freshest new services in the game, M-Go's VOD service launched its new red 4k (just click the up coming page) library in an exclusive partnership with Samsung November 12 The service will begin with a modest offering of titles, including Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, The Giver, Power, Ghost in the Shell and Limitless.
The service is currently available in Nanotech's Nuvola NP-1 streaming box ($300) as well, theoretically allowing it to stream 4K UHD content to any 4K UHD TV, which is a big deal. And while today's Blu-ray discs will be used initially, you'll unfortunately have to buy a new 4K UHD Blu-ray player to play the new content. The Digital Cinema Initiatives consortium established a standard resolution of 4096 pixels × 2160 lines (8.8 megapixels, aspect ratio ~17:9) for 4K film projection. The DCI 4K standard has twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of DCI 2K, with four times as many pixels overall.
With Blu-ray, you got everyone working together - you had movies appearing on it (including much back-catalogue being re-mastered for it), you had a combined push with HD resolutions. What will be really interesting (to me) are some of the techniques used to re-master old content to 4K formats. This makes sense seeing as the resolution of 3840×2160 is not the same as Digital Cinema 4K (4096×2160), and the industry is, on the whole, moving away from the 4K" moniker. It's far more likely that a more practical range of colors - such as those specified in the Digital Cinema Initiatives P3 gamut currently in use in movie theaters - will end up being used.
