New video format from Apple promises to become a sensation

The Internet is slowly but, as always, with confidence begin to spread new and interesting rumors about Apple's plans. RumorThat the company plans a breakthrough in the field of multimedia.

In order that in the future is expected to yield an updated version of Apple TV, apple company decided to implement the use of new, more modern codec - H.264. It involves much more efficient video compression. It is possible (although this assumption is not yet confirmed) that Apple will work in this area with the codecs from a reputable company Dirac. This format is also called VC2 standard, and it is to be used for playing video with a resolution of 4096 × 2160 pixels (4K).

At the moment, this idea seems a little fantastic, because not everyone, and certainly not every consumer of Apple products is available HDTV-TV. However, Apple does not care. It seems that Cupertino is preparing a real "bomb" - a device that supports video playback, not only in the resolution of 1080p but the 4K format. The confirmation of these assumptions may be the fact that Apple representatives have begun negotiations with producers cameras and camcorders, as well as Google, which earlier announced that the service will now support YouTube and videos in 4K format.

Hearing plays against the current state of the consumer electronics market. Not every machine drags video playback with a resolution of 4096 × 2160 pixels. And the current AppleTV can not cope even with a FullHD.
