The Benefits of 4 K Solutions in Different Industry Domains
The year of 2015 saw the dawn of 4K resolution technology. Immediately 4K captured the attention of multiple markets, including video cameras, projectors, smartphones, medical imaging devices, gaming, and even movie studios. The reason behind it was quite evident; with twice the horizontal as well as twice the vertical resolution than those of a normal Full HD image, 4K screen means better definition and exceptional clarity. To put that in perspective,a Full HD image is only 1920x1080 resolution, or 1080p, while a 4K screen is3840 x 2160 resolution, or 2160p. It is cramming 4 times the number of pixels into the same amount of space, thus provides much more details and less pixel-visible images than Full HD. The result was that the images look incredibly life-like; it was more like looking through a window than watching TV. It advances the whole definition of picture clarity to an extraordinary level.Benefits of 4K technology across various domains:
Gaming Sector
We aren't quite in the era of 4K gaming just yet. In fact, we have barely experienced the tip of the iceberg. However, gaming is still the area where 4K shall create a great impact.
For a gamer, it is all about the experience of the game, and a 4K display or projector enhances that experience in a tremendous way. 4K gaming content surely offers the gamers a life-like experience with extraordinary details. While this might not interest many people, having a 4K resolution can actually improve the 3D experience. Gamers will instantly experience a rapid expansion in the library of games that support 4K content. Nonetheless, there is a catch here –to enjoy 4K content, an upgrade for the graphics cards is required. A dual-GPU setup may be necessary for gaming in native 4K resolution.
Home Cinema Sector
With increasing 4K content, now is absolutely a great time to upgrade from Full HD to 4K. For home, with a true 4K projector, the consumers can finally sit close enough to a screen to get immerse cinema experience while still having a razor sharp image. The era of 4K projector is really just getting going. In terms of image quality, what a consumer can get from a 4K projector is absolutely outstanding. 4K projector is designed with resolution and image rendering features that totally leave things, such as hazy visuals and faded projections, behind. It delivers a visual clarity that is at least as good as or possibly even better than that of its TV counterpart.
To keep step with the trend, many projector vendors are working hard to make 4 K projections the mainstream technology. It
shall not only allow consumers to upgrade their previous home entertainment or even cinema experience with affordable prices, but also prioritize the 4K upgrade demands from corporations, government units, education facilities, retailers, and even AV rental communities.
Corporate Sector
Full HD projectors have been utilized for corporate presentations both in private meetings and in large conferences. However, Full HD resolution display can only look great by up to an 80-inchscreen size. This is where 4K projectors come into play. With 4K (Ultra HD or UHD) projectors, clear images can display on larger screen sizes, thus covering a wider audience. What 4K projector provides is the ability to take the regular video content and any native 4K content (such as movies), and project them at any one of a number of flexible projection sizes. These can range from just 55” inches in diagonal width to a whopping 300” inch home theater sized image that feels almost exactly like a mini home theater. For other uses, the resolution aids in presenting anything requiring great details, renderings, engineering, satellite photos…
Medical Sector
Medical field is the profession that requires great amount of accuracy where detail is vital every single second. There are a lot of imaging devices used in surgeries, diagnostics, and detailed study of human bodies. With 4K technology, the high pixel display generates 4 times more accurate image than any Full HD resolution. The availability of high zooming capacity and detail rich imaging makes 4K a very important asset for the medical sector. Although costly, the advantages of 4K image clarity are beyond question.
Photography and Videography
Photography and Videography are the areas that will benefit the most from 4K technology. It's pretty obvious that 4K resolution is the future and it will help improve photo/ video display in any format. Photographers now view their work on a Full HD screen. With only a fraction of the detail visible, this cannot justify the efforts of their work. A 4K display, on the other hand, reveals much more details. The extra pixels allow zooming in & out, and panning across Full HD images, thus making it an ideal solution for them to work on.
In addition, a 4K video footage provides an upper hand while editing. Up to 4 times of the4K video footage than Full HD one can be copied while still maintained the Full HD video resolution. It shall help extract great stills as a Full HD video contains only 2 million pixels, while a single frame of 4k video contains 8.8 million pixels.
Security / Surveillance
When it comes to security, even the slightest lapse is unacceptable. In the last couple of years, Full HD camera has achieved some incredible success, but now 4K shall become the leader in the video surveillance and consumer electronics market as it promises outstanding image quality and details.
With smart cities on the rise, traffic surveillance and smart city monitor become the important areas wherein 4K camera can be utilized to recognize license plates from a far-off distance. Take the cost factor into consideration, a Full HD camera may be less expensive than a 4K one. However, with higher resolution, a 4K camera can cover a larger area with clear images, thus, reducing installation cost and improving security efficiency at the same time. It is, therefore, a more cost-effective solution for parking lots, gyms, open warehouse environments, cafeterias, play grounds, and so on.
Affordable 4K is definitely the new trend. It is evident from the fact that a hardware and accessories capable of driving and showing 4K content is becoming cheaper day by day.
