Summary
DescriptionDigital video resolutions (VCD to 4K).svg
English: A graph of standard video resolutions as encountered in different media. To ease comparison, all sizes are scaled to 16:9 as seen on a hypothetical screen that displays at least one source pixel per pixel visible.
Note that for older formats like VCD and DVD that are optimized for 4:3, this loses some vertical resolution. The HDTV resolutions are displayed 1:1. For the cinema formats (2K, 4K) we show a hypothetical sensor that achieves max. resolution at 16:9, while in reality they're usually optimized for wider screens.
Deutsch: Diese Grafik vergleicht populäre digitale Auflösungen miteinander. Zur besseren Darstellung wurden alle Formate auf 16:9 bei mindestens einem Quellpixel für jeden dargestellten Pixel skaliert.
Die älteren Formate wie DVD und VCD haben potentiell eine höhere vertikale Auflösung als hier gezeigt und würden entsprechend anamorph gestaucht. Für die HD-Auflösungen (720p, 1080p) war keine Anpassung notwendig. Für die Kinoformate (2K, 4K) gehen wir von einem hypothetischen Kamerasensor aus, der seine maximale horizontale Auflösung bei 16:9 erreicht, während reelle Systeme meistens auf breitere Verhältnisse angewiesen sind, sollen die vollen 2048 Pixel erreicht werden.
Italiano: Un grafico delle risoluzioni video standard come si possono riscontrare nei vari media; per facilitare il confronto, tutte le misure sono adattate al formato 16:9 come si vedrebbero su un ipotetico schermo che visualizzi almeno una sorgente visibile pixel per pixel.
Da tenere a mente che i formati più vecchi, come VCD and DVD, che erano ottimizzati per il formato 4:3, perdono un po' di risoluzione verticale, mentre le risoluzioni HDTV sono visualizzate 1:1. Per i formati cinematografici (2K, 4K) mostriamo un sensore ipotetico che raggiunge la risoluzione massima in 16:9, mentre in realtà sono solitamente ottimizzati per schermi più grandi.
