Modify the "4K" Designation

Now that a new spec for "4K" has been defined, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_high_definition_television, I think Pond5 needs to modify the "4K" designation on clips.

I just uploaded a clip at 3840x2160, but it's hover defines it as "Multimedia." I suspect Pond5 has a blanket definition of "4K" as being anything greater than 4,000 pixels wide. But now that 3840 pixels is the Ultra HD spec, I think this definition needs modified to be anything greater than 3,840.

OD, what do you think, does it still make sense to produce 4096x2304?

I think it makes sense to produce any 4K clip of any resolution. Of course, if 3840x2160 does become the "norm", then anything larger can be sized down.

But for me, I think I'm sticking to 3840x2160, since that looks like the standard. It certainly looks like at least in the TV world, that resolution will be what people want. Now, for film, that's probably a whole 'nother ballgame.

Kind of makes sense for those who decide these things to settle on that resolution, since 1920x1080 easily up-sizes to 3840x2160 nice and proportional.

Hey OD,

Thanks for posting this and pointing this out. This is definitely something we will look into and have discussions about in our upcoming meetings. I'll keep you posted!
