YouTube adds support for 4096p (not a typo!)
For more than half a year now YouTube has supported 1080p videos but today they raised the bar even more by supporting native resolution videos up to 4096p (4096×3072).
While cameras that actually record in this format are quite a bit out of the grasps of the average YouTuber this allows for much higher quality content to be uploaded and stored on YouTube’s servers and in turn be delivered to viewers.
Five years ago HD cameras were too pricey for most consumers, who knows where we will be in five more years.
Just to give some perspective on what exactly the size of 4K is, the ideal screen size for a 4K video is 25 feet and IMAX movies are projected through two 2k resolution projectors.
So what this means is it will look *really* crisp on your 15″ laptop screen.
In order to try this feature out, on any video that supports it pick “Original” from the format selection popup on the youtube player.
Since there are so few videos currently in this format a playlist has been created to feature them.
