4K content

Why sites want 4K

On large screens, and wherever viewers stand close, such as showrooms, shop windows and corporate lobbies, sharpness is noticed at once. Many new screens support 4K resolution, and organisations produce their brand films at that resolution. They expect the content to play just as sharply on screen, without stutter. A blurred or stuttering video on a large screen undoes the work that went into the film.

How it could work with MIA

Today MIA plays images such as JPEG, PNG and WebP and videos such as MP4 and WebM from folders, and the Android app and the Samsung Tizen package store media on the device itself. With 4K, the player device is what really decides the result: the video decoder, memory and storage differ from device to device. A 4K screen does not mean the player attached to it will play 4K video smoothly. 4K support can be built for your installation, and steps such as testing on the chosen devices, sending the right version to each device for its capabilities, downloading large files to devices safely and tracking storage space could be in scope. We recommend reviewing which devices are suitable together before you buy.

What we need to know to scope it

• Your screen and player models, or the ones you plan to buy
• The type of content: video, images or both
• The size and format of your video files
• How many screens need 4K

With this we would suggest a test on one device with a sample video of your own first. Scope, timing and price are agreed for each project.
