An alliance for the Ultra HD: the products are there, and soon (finally) content?

Was the case the past years but still more in this early 2015, the these everywhere displays the initials 4K and UHD. After the time of the demonstrations (and products reserved for an elite) comes to democratization. The big names in the sector do to there not deceive, all being come to Las Vegas with Ultra HD products accessible to the general public. They also enjoy the media resonance of the event to formalize the emergence of a great alliance, the Alliance UHD, including scope by Panasonic, Samsung and Sharp.

What is interesting is that the members of this alliance have identified the problem highlighted by consumers and the media for a long time already: be able to offer a large 4K TV at a lower price than that at which it bought a Full HD 32″ 7 years ago, it is, but to be able to read of the native definition video contentIt would be even better... Thus, with them to the UHD Alliance, they have already Federated major content broadcasters, Netflix to DirecTV, Disney at 20th Century Fox.

Giants who produce and broadcast the video, and that must be at the heart of the"4K". And if you regret not yet find a major player such as Sony, which is yet armed on all fronts in 4 K (TV, cameras, studio Sony Pictures, etc.), such mergers can only be commended. Hoping of course that they will eventually take effect quickly enough.

In this sense, and on the same theme, it is interesting to see one of the members of this alliance, Panasonic for not to appoint him, present on its stand a real player prototype Blu - ray 4K. We are not the Blu - ray "mastered in 4K" that Sony had introduced two years ago, but indeed the forthcoming arrival of real players and Blu - ray Ultra HD, HDMI 2.0 protocol-based talking and allowing to enjoy a bitrate that can achieve the 50 Mbps. 

What display ultra high-definition videos of very high quality, and even 3D on TVs UHD. The patience of those who wait wisely that the 4K has meaning in their living room will be visibly soon rewarded, even if the road ahead lead to a 4K really democratized is still long and full of pitfalls, in addition to being dependent on the deployment of some modern infrastructure, such as broadband Internet connections, or the support of new technologies (codec HEVC).

This is the finest?

Finally, opportunity to say something about the Sony X900C Bravia XBR, which is none other that the 4 K TV the longer end of the world, since it measures only 4.9 mm thickness, is less than the finest smartphones. Of course, this actually hides an area at the back of the thicker screen, on which is installed the electronics. This TV should come out this year under Android TV in diagonals of 55, 65 and 75 inches, priced for the moment unknown.
