4K/UHD Viewing: The Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth

Josef Marc

When watching video, we assume we're seeing everything - “the whole truth.” But really we're seeing a version of the truth; adjustments have been made based on whatever the display interface can accommodate. But it is possible to see the whole truth on any screen, even in 4K and UHD. You simply need the right display interfaces. — This paper will explain how choosing the right cables can make all the difference in getting the video from the player to the screen. Using video from several historical eras and 4K 60p, the presentation will demonstrate how to determine the best connections for any situation.
