True Resolution
Rating a camera by counting horizontal photosites is wrong but common
(eg; Red 5K v Panavision Genesis 5.7K or 2K)
• Sony F65 has 8192 photosites horizontally
• Next generation 65mm Panavision Camera
The final image size is 48mm x 20.25mm.
The number of photosites is 7680 (1920 x 4) by 3240 (1080 x 3),
for a total of 24,883,200 photosites,
with a photosite size of 6.25μ
and output sample grid of 3840 x 2160.

4K/UHD monitors: towards a UHD phase 1 incompatibility
• UHD Ready logo pushed by manufacturers
• The 3 prerequisites of UHD phase 1 not guaranteed:
– Connectors (HDMI 2.0)
– Anti-piracy (HDCP 2.1)
– 50p compatibility (50 images / second)
