TheEvolutionof4K4K UHDTV is the next evolutionary step for television broad-casting. Just as Intelsat supported the smooth transition from SD to HD, the company is ready to support the transitiontofull-timedistributioninthisnewformat.
ThetransitionfromSDtoHDtookalmost10years,soitisimportant to be realistic about the 4K adoption timeline. Althoughthepopularityof4KUHDTVadoptionwillbedriven by content availability, the entire industry is involved in the development of the ecosystem.
4K UHDTV will enable a new premium tier of programming with images that are four times richer than current HDTV images. Some of the most attractive applicationsfor4Ktechnologyinclude:

This demonstration underscores the importance of collaboration among our industry ecosystem partners and the benefits this will ultimately yield to our customers.
Whatis4K?“Ultra High Definition”, or “Ultra HD” typically refers to video signals and displays that have an aspect ratio ofatleast16:9andaminimumresolutionof 3,840×2,160pixels.
“4K”UHDTVisso-calledbecauseitgenerallyreferstoatelevisionresolutionof3840pixelsby2160lines,whichis2x the horizontal and 2x the vertical dimensions of HDTV.
The frame rate for “true” 4K UHDTV would also be twice thelevelforHDTV,about60framespersecond.While4Kcan be shown on a display with a lower frame rate, motion will not be as smoothly rendered as at the higher rate.
