HD Video

On this page, we'll learn about high-definition video (or HD Video), including its definition, common HD resolutions and formats, and the difference between HD and SD.

HD video, or high-definition video, refers to any video with a higher resolution and quality than SD (Standard Definition) video. The definition of video or quality is generally denoted by the number of pixels in each video frame, known as the video resolution. The most practical and frequently used high-definition video resolutions are 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. Each of these offers different methods of displaying HD content:

The most common high-definition video modes include

• 720p (1280x720) – known as HD
• 1080p/1080i(1920x1080) – known as Full HD or FHD.

These resolutions are widely used in televisions, monitors, projectors, streaming services, and gaming, providing immersive and visually appealing experiences.

Besides HD videos, several higher-resolution videos provide more detail and clarity, including:

• 1440p, also known as 2K or QHD: 2560x1440
• 4K, also known as Ultra HD or UHD: 3840x2160
• 8k, or Super High Definition (SHD) and UHD-2 (Ultra-High Definition): 7680 x 4320

HD video can be encoded in various formats that determine how the data is compressed, stored, and transmitted.
