Key Terms Explained
“ 4k60p ”
Refers to: Resolution / Frame Rates
- Resolution refers to the number of pixels displayed within each frame - simplistically, greater pixels (higher resolution) results in a sharper, clearer and more detailed image (video)
| Standard Resolution (W x H) |
Standard Resolution (W x H) |
|---|---|
| Standard Definition (SD) | 720 x 480 |
| Full High Definition (HD) | 1920 x 1080 |
| 4K (UHD) | 3840 x 2160 |
| 8K | 7680 x 4320 |
-
4K contains 8 million pixels compared to 2 million pixels for Full HD
-
The ‘p’ stands for progressive scanning and is increasingly become the standard over ‘i’ (or interlaced) which was popular in the early TV era
-
Frame Rates refers to the frequency (no. of frames) that an image is recorded per second - the higher the frame rate the smoother the video appears
-
There is a often a trade off between resolution & frame rate depending on application, setting, budget and editing software
| Frame rates p/s (fps) Usage |
Frame rates p/s (fps) Usage |
|---|---|
| 24 / 30 | Standard for home movies |
| 60 | Suited for faster paced video, e.g. sports |
| 240 | Slow motion video |
“ ProRes recording”
Refers to: Recording Format
-
Recording Format or “Codec” refers to how a video is captured & recorded by the camera or recording device
-
The codec (abbreviation for Coder/Decoder) describes the type of compression used to record a video - the codec encodes a video stream thereby making the video file smaller & easier to manage/transport to editing software
-
The editing software (assuming the codec is supported) is then able to decode (unpack) the video file based on the rules set by that codec, providing the user access to all the video information during post production (editing)
-
For professionals some of the main codec’s include: − ProRes or ProRes RAW → Apple
-
DNxHR → Avid
-
CinemaDNG → Adobe
-
For simplicity, we are only referring to codec’s typically used by video professionals – that is users who require video to be edited via an editing suite in post production
-
For ‘amateur’ video requiring only minimal editing with the aim of uploading to a video streaming site other codec’s may be more applicable (e.g. H.264)
-
RAW refers to uncompressed video footage taken directly from a camera's sensor. Although it provides the highest level of colour and image detail, it requires huge data capability and therefore is impractical for most users
“ 1,500 Nits brightness & HDR”
Refers to: Screen Brightness (Nits) / HDR
- Nits refers to a measurement of light that a screen sends to your eyes (luminance) within a given area – the greater Nits the more light output the screen can display
Tabled below are few examples for comparison:
| Device Nits |
Device Nits |
|---|---|
| iPhone X | 625 |
| Galaxy Note 8 | 1,200 |
| Shogun Inferno | 1,500 |
| Samsung QLED Q9F TV | Up to 1,800 |
-
HDR (High Dynamic Range) refers to the brightness range of an image and aims to present a similar range of colour and brightness to that experienced by the human eye
-
In HDR video each pixel can capture a much wider and more granular range of light (whites appear whiter and darks appear darker)
-
Atomos invented the ability to view (on an in-field monitor) what HDR video will look like once it has been through post-production
-
Prior to Atomos, the only way to ‘approximate’ HDR while shooting in the field was to apply a LUT (colour style filter) to the video image
