YouTube made a new breakthrough with the ability to keep the video format that is higher than high definition (HD). YouTube makes it easy for visitors who want to post the video with a resolution of 4K, or approximately 4096 x 2.306 pixels.
Videos with higher resolution than HD format and commonly used by professional film makers, are of course made by using a very expensive camera. To provide a maximum view, suggested that YouTube videos are displayed with large screen 25 feet high, to the size of 4K. Remarkably, the video screen IMAX was only able to display video with two 2K projectors.
Currently YouTube has provided a small gallery that can fit five 4K resolution videos. But all that was visible in vain if it is not displayed in a large screen. Even with a broadband connection in the world standard, ADSL2 + that is capable of producing 4.5 Mbps connection, the picture is still not good enough.
“We are impressed with the response of YouTube visitors that are allowed to upload HD video, with format of 1080 pixels in the past seven months. And we’re quite enthusiastic about waiting for the next response from the visitors, shortly after we launched the evolution of the world of online video with 4K video. The next step, just wait, “said an expert technician on YouTube, Ramesh Sarukkai.
