I. Definition of 4K and 1080P resolution

1. 4K resolution

4K resolution, a subset of the ultra-high-definition category, provides an immersive viewing experience with crisp details and stunning close-ups, characterized by a horizontal pixel count of approximately 4096. Notable 4K formats include Academy 4K, with a resolution of 3656x2664, and UHDTV at 3840x2160. With the continual advancements in technology and improvements in video equipment, the range of available 4K content is steadily expanding.

2. 1080P resolution

1080P, represented by the letter P for Progressive Scan, stands as the pinnacle of high-definition digital TV formats according to the standards set by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE). Boasting an effective resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, the number 1080 signifies the inclusion of 1080 horizontal scan lines arranged vertically. This high-definition resolution is widely embraced in contemporary cinema.
