YouTube new Videos at 4K Resolution and 60 Frames per Second

Before YouTube 4K resolution, not so long ago, the website has tested new features for its movie clips, such as 360-degree clips and the multi-angle function, but the famous video website is also looking forward to meet the requirements of new technological innovation before they become widely used. YouTube’s latest news show six video clips playing at a 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.

The clips, which for now can only be watched on Google Chrome, have a selection of scenes from volcanic eruptions to the fan-made short movie composed of shots from the space game Star Resident. All these clips look wonderful on a complete HD display at 1080p and 60 frames per second, even if some problems appear when you change it to 4K image quality.

The main issues are that the videos will not run successfully, given that most persons do not even own a 4K display system. Moreover, another problem is data transfer usage for the actual quantity of information needed for the 4K video clips, and these might keep the web pages loading for a long time.

As the HDTV device in the recent years, the 4K display needs a period of accommodation to turn into a cost-efficient system in order to become the new norm for watching movies or music clips. To do so, it is gradually integrated into several programs such as Netflix, DirectTV, Amazon Instant Video or the Nvidia Shield. Unfortunately, the 4K devices are, however, an expensive acquisition and only the customers with thick wallets can afford to buy both the gadgets and the appropriate connection that allows an optimum data transfer.

It really is worth noting that even the 4K resolution at 60 frames per second is now on a experimental level, YouTube already offers both the image quality and frame costs independently. The Google owned company announced the 4K support for video clips back in 2011 but it was only in 2014 that short movies could be watched at 60 frames per second. Nevertheless, the mixture of these two options might still take quite a while to be fully applied on all clips uploaded on YouTube. Even so, information regarding a new product soon to be launched is a crucial problem for the early adopters and, despite the fact that there are only six videos running with the 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, it offers users an additional glance of what YouTube will present in future for its audiences.
