4K support information MeetUp prerequisites
The MeetUp ConferenceCam is capable of recording 4K video. However, the support for 4K video content is limited since there has yet to be an official release of a plugin for Windows or Mac operating systems to fully support the feature.
For additional information, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Video_Coding
If you use the proper video capture application (ex. Camera for Windows 10 or SwiftCapture 1.0.2 for Mac OS) you can record 4K video from your Meetup to your computer. You will need to use a 4K video player on a 4K-supported monitor to properly play back your captured video (ex. VLC for PC or Mac - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html).
Currently, video streaming applications donât take full advantage of 4K resolution. To take advantage of 4K with your MeetUp, youâll need to have a system with the following requirements:
USB 3.0 Port and USB 3.0 Cable â allows for more data to be transmitted (5gb/s compared to 480mb/s with USB 2.0).
Application support for 4K â some applications will require additional codecs to support 4K resolution. Consult your application developerâs website or help resources for more information.
4K monitor and supporting drivers â make sure that you have a 4K-capable monitor and the drivers to support 4K resolution. Consult your monitorâs manufacturer website for more information.Â
Windows 7 supports a maximum resolution of 1080p/30fps and is not capable of 4K resolution.
Other 4K considerations
While many video preview tools are great at presenting/decoding 1080p at 30fps, they may take a little more time when presenting/decoding 4K content as it requires a lot more resources.
You may also experience performance issues when using a video player to view 4K content. Youâll need to make sure that the player is set up with the correct codecs and the settings to decode 4K content. Also, consider that processing 4K content takes a lot of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and CPU (Central Processing Unit) resources. Below are some suggested player tools/codecs that you can install to be able to view 4K content:
PotPlayer
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack - Powerful codec package that supports various video source types. It can be associated to Windows Media Player to give it the ability to play 4K video clips.
