I wonder why famous streamers like TryMacs Rewinside etc. Don't stream on 4k. After all, if you have a bad internet connection you can choose to use a lower quality.
The streamers also have good PCs and internet that they could do it.
Anyone an idea?
(It's annoying when I watch YouTube or Twitch on TV that it's never such good quality)
As far as I know that doesn't work on Twitch? It could also be that I'm wrong, don't know about Twitch.
Neither do I, so I ask ^^
A stream in 4k wouldn't do you any good, as the streamers would gamble in FullHD or at most WQHD themselves and would only strain their internet
Ok, it could explain a lot but good internet have full-time influencer determined xD
Streaming over 4K has some disadvantages because:
A normal PC can't usually manage a stream on its own. That means most YouTubers and streamers use their own StreamPC which only calculates the data for the stream. Now 4K brings a very good internet connection in this area, which would then be fully utilized by the stream. In this case the bandwidth for playing the game would be missing and the ping would be extremely high. The live processing of the stream data is also a problem. In addition, most viewers can't watch this quality or it is reduced, either because of their own Internet or the display medium.
The streamers might be able to handle that, but probably almost no one has the internet to download nearly three times the pixels per second. And safe there aren't that many 4K customers either
The problem with UHD is that you need a fast line (streamers don't always have a fast line in the upstream), more power (since an image more than 4 times the size has to be calculated) and that there are few people with UHD there most of them watch the streams on mobile devices and computers.
You can also play games in UHD or 4k without a 4k or UHD monitor using VSR / DSR.
Thank goodness because to this day some people have bad internet. And the biggest problem with Twitch is that you can't set it to low resolution for every live stream, and that would be a problem with 4K streams that you may not be able to watch some streams below 4k. So everyone who has very bad internet has to do without even more Twitch streamers.
And since I don't have that good internet myself, and I don't only have a FullHD monitor, I would like that you can watch every Twitch stream at 720p.
It is even four times as much, around 2 million pixels for FHD and around 8.2 million for 4k
At 4k it would be more than four times as much, because a 4k image is 4096 pixels wide.
But 50k Internet should be enough for UHD / 4k in most cases. The problem is more the target audience, as you mentioned.
4k UHD is the current screen standard and has 3840x2160 pixels. What you are talking about is the format of digital cinemas that are 4096x2160 pixels.
According to the Internet, cinemas apparently use 17: 9, while screens are set to 16: 9
