YouTube now supports 4k resolution

Today during the VidCon 2010 conference, Google has announced that YouTube will now support video with 4k resolution, over double what the current 1080p standard allows for.

4k has a pixel resolution of 4096 x 3072, whereas 1080p has resolution of 1920 x 1080.

“To give some perspective on the size of 4K, the ideal screen size for a 4K video is 25 feet; IMAX movies are projected through two 2k resolution projectors,” says Ramesh Sarukkai, a YouTube engineer.

Many users will not be able to even run the videos at this point, as it requires “super fast broadband,” likely with 15Mbps as a bare minimum.
