As mentioned for a coupon of years, 4K has finally become the rocking star of the CES 2014. Giant TV sets, laptops and streaming services are all starting embracing the 4K technology.
4K resolution means that the horizontal resolution of a device or content is up to 4,000 pixels. The Digital Cinema Initiatives is the dominant 4K standard in the movie projection industry. While the television industry has adopted Ultra High-Definition (UHD) television as its 4K standard. The UHD is used for displays that have an aspect ratio of at least 16:9 and at least one digital input capable of carrying and presenting native video at a minimum resolution of 3840×2160 pixels.
However, the biggest issue is the lack of 4K contents. Not a lot of broadcasters and filmmakers are shooting in 4K yet. So maybe it's a good idea to make your own 4K contents by shooting.
At CES 2014, Sony unveiled the first consumer 4K camcorder – FDR-AX100, which will start shipping in March for $1,999.
