With HDR, do we need UHD/4K or is 1080p60 a better option for now?
presentation Glossary
1080p
1080p Resolution – Full HD progressive scan format with 1920 x 1080 pixels, providing smooth motion and high image quality.
2160p
2160p Resolution – Also known as 4K UHD, this format has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, used in high-end video production.
3G SDI
3 Gigabit Serial Digital Interface – A professional video interface standard capable of transmitting uncompressed 1080p video at 60 frames per second over a single coaxial cable at 3 Gbit/s. Common in broadcast and production environments.
4K
4K Resolution – A digital video resolution of approximately 3840 x 2160 pixels, offering enhanced clarity and detail, especially on large screens.
CBS
Columbia Broadcasting System – Major American television network known for news, sports, and entertainment programming.
Compression
Compression – The process of reducing the size of digital files by removing redundant data. In video, it balances file size and quality, with higher compression often reducing visual fidelity.
HD
High Definition – Video format with higher resolution than standard definition, commonly used in television and digital video. Covers 720p, 1080i and 1080p formats
HDR
High Dynamic Range Imaging – Display technology that enhances contrast, brightness, and color depth for more lifelike images.

Résolution Compression
Compression Resolution – Refers to the impact of data compression on image quality. Higher compression can reduce file size but may degrade visual fidelity.
Résolution Couleur
Color Resolution – Indicates the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel. Higher color resolution allows for more accurate and vibrant color representation.
Résolution Spatiale
Spatial Resolution – Refers to the amount of detail an image holds, typically defined by the number of pixels in the horizontal and vertical dimensions. Higher spatial resolution means more image detail.
Résolution Temporelle
Temporal Resolution – Refers to the frequency at which images (frames) are captured or displayed, usually measured in frames per second (fps). Higher temporal resolution results in smoother motion.
SDR
Standard Dynamic Range – Traditional video format with limited contrast and color range compared to HDR.
