The term "4K" was developed by DCI as a spec for the production and digital projection of 4K content of 4,096 x 2,160 pixel counts. The story does NOT stop there.It also defines how 4K content is encoded. A DCI 4K stream is compressed using JPEG2000, can have a bitrate of up to 250Mbps, and employs 12-bit 4:4:4 color depth. Also there are matters like encryption too. Have to check the standard to definitively answer.TV manufacturers just name any panel of 3840x2160 pixels with a 4K tag and started the confusion.</blockquote>
