File Types
GlamourKey's Guide to Understanding Video File Types The following сhart indicates the increased flexibility GlamourKey's 2K or 4K footage provides: 
|
DV |
720 x 480 |
Standard television 4:3 aspect ratio in Digital Video format. Launched in 1995, it has since become a standard for home and semi-professional video production. The DV specification defines both the codec and the tape format. Features include intraframe compression for uncomplicated editing and good video quality, especially compared to earlier consumer analog formats such as Video8, Hi8 and VHS-C.
|
|
720 HD |
1080 x 720 |
High-definition video or HD video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, and 720 most commonly involves display resolutions of 1280 × 720 pixels (720p).
|
|
1080 HD |
1920 x 1080 |
High-definition video or HD video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, and 1080 most commonly involves display resolutions of 1920 × 1080 pixels (1080i/1080p).
|
|
2K |
2048 x 1024 |
True anamorphic 2 to 1 (2:1) cinematic digital content. 2K is shorter than HD - but wider. When using a 2K file in a 1080 HD project, simply enlarge the 2K clip by 6% to eliminate the letter box at the top and bottom and "pan and scan" when cropping off the sides. This provides you increased flexibility in producing your project. Compare 2K to 1080 HD
Digitally mastered 2K green screen footage available from GlamourKey is "pre-keyed" or "keyed-out." This footage is provided as an animated .mov with an embedded straight alpha channel. It is available for purchase and download.
2K "On Location" footage as well as non-keyed studio footage is available for download as a Pro Res 422 HQ .mov.

4K |
4096 x 2048 |
Used by GlamourKey, the RED ONE Digital Mysterium chip shoots a 4096 x 2048 HD image (also known as 4K). It creates a format to bridge the gap between digital video and 35MM film. Were talking state-of-the-art, big format digital content which goes beyond the boundaries of high definition. It provides you more creative freedom and offers something extraordinary for cinemographic productions.
