Full HD, FHD

Most of the early HD equipment are not full complied to the 1920x 1080 display.
Full HD will offer true 1920 x 1080 operation and display
The other level we would like to look into is 4:4:4 display of color
HDCam SR 4:4:4 also carried 12 channels of Audio
 
Digital Intermediate 2K
According to the early Kodak Cineon specification, this is based upon 2048 x 1556 for a full-gate 35mm film scan, or as adjust for full screening aperture for 1:2.35 anamorphic display at 1828x 1556. 10 bit log .dpx.cin is commonly use for effective post-production work
 
Ultra HD, UHD
Camera designed to operate higher than HD quality.
Like RED, with her 4096x 2304 is an UHD camera, employ RED code, a Wavelet base 12 bit 12:1 visually lossless compression
Peter Jackson test film has rated RED at 250 ASA at 24fps
A good digital perform to built single camera dual lens Stereoscopic vision work.
 
UHD 8K
7680x 4320 which has to stream 32 million pixels at 24Gbit/sec., 16x resolution of HD, comparable or said to be better than IMAX's 15 perf 70mm film work. Initial standard design to have 22 channels of audio, a NHK research project, this reminded me of a visit made 33 years ago to NHK research center, where I had experiment with prototypes of Plasma and HDTV.
