About 4K Ultra HD Video
4K Ultra HD (4K UHD) video itself refers to the video of a pixel resolution of 4096x2160 (4,000 pixels, 8.8 megapixels, 17:9 aspect ratio) mainly for digital cinema, or of a resolution of 3840× 2160 (8.3 megapixels, 16:9 aspect ratio) mainly for Ultra HD television.
Since OS X 10.9.3 can support for 4K displays, is it possible to play 4K Ultra HD videos on Mac OS X 10.9.3? In this post, I will give you two methods to play 4K ultra high definition videos on OS X 10.9.3.
