@scottalanmiller Same reason I'm very unhappy with my 30hz 4K monitor. Should have waited and got the 60.
what content do you have driving a 4K? is anything even recorded in 4k yet?
If I remember correctly the new GoPro's record natively in 4K.
Now that I read this, I do seem to recall hearing that before.. Damn how fast do you fill a 64 GB flash stick?
Depends on the bitrate of the H.264 it's using. We fill 240GB SSDs in no time 2-3 seconds will get you 5-8GB of footage with higher bit rate codecs (not H.264)
H.264 is a GOP so the length will also be determined by how much data and motion is in your footage. It's a VBR codec.

What kind of real bandwidth do you need to stream a full 4k program?

Only the top end Hero4 Black does that. But it does, yes, that's why we chose it.

Why? because you want to be able to zoom to ridiculous levels and see your nose hairs

Really depends on the codec. 4K is only the resolution. How you compress it plays an enormous factor. Netflix UltraHD 4K is 16Mb/s.

That's not a small ask, even today.

Not as much as you'd think streaming is almost always AVC H.264 or AVC H.265 4k can easily be as low as 10Mbps. The problem is there is a lot of resources used in decoding the codec so some peoples CPU/GPUs may not keep up.

Getting ready to run a ServerBear report on a CloudatCost Dev3 instance.

Gaming at 4K is amazing, the detail is really stunning. 30hz is super off putting though, I am spoiled by 120hz 1080P.
For regular desktop tasks 4K kicks freaking butt, you can have a ton of content up and manage it all. Sharp eyesight is necessary though desktop scaling is critical.
Gaming at 4K is also hilarious when you attempt to record it - I flattened my 840Pro 256gb SSD even attempting it. This may indeed have been a CPU* limit (AMD8320 @4.2ghz) though I suspect RAID0 SSD's will be required at today's speeds to do it nicely and not bring your whole system to a halt.
Edit: *CPU was likely the bottleneck from what I witnessed but the SSD probably couldn't keep up either. Anyone willing to send me a top of the line i7 + board + RAM will get first priority when I release the results

Kicked that off, it will run for a few hours now.

30hz 4k monitors are really only meant for office use. The good 4k Monitors aren't even out yet (HP Dreamcolor). The Panasonic BT-4LH310 is really nice but it's a Broadcast monitor not a computer monitor.

@thecreativeone91 I gambled on a $400 one; no regrets. Still nice for most of my gaming (strategy stuff) but again, horrific for anything action oriented (War Thunder being my primary vice.)

Good morning to all

Back at work today. No messing around with my C@C server until later tonight

Glad to hear that

Interesting little device I got sent to review: http://www.gkchain.com/

I hating when people think HDMI is a good distribution format.. It's not. It was no made for that.

Debating if I should answer this!

@JaredBusch lol, they hit you up on Skype now?
Guess spam filters have been eating into their margins too much. -

Is it actually a real Skype invitation or a fake?
