A 6K transfer is just an attempt at marketing position," declares Lowry Digital Images' Chief Technical Officer John Lowry, who's done high-definition and 4K transfers on some of Hollywood's greatest films, including North by Northwest, Gone with the Wind, Citizen Kane, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Singin' in the Rain, and the Indiana Jones and Star Wars collections. "Everything on film is captured at 4K, down to the film grain. In fact, if there is any motion, theres even less resolution than 4K. If the camera pans, theres less than 4K. The bottom line is this measurement of resolution is fragile. Any movement, and youre probably at 2 or 3K in terms of actual resolution due to the blurring caused by camera shutter limitations (similar to how movement causes a blurry image when youre shooting a still frame picture). Even slight camera pans and tilts will cause this. If youre gonna talk about 6K, why not 8K, or 10K? At some point, it just becomes ridiculous. Bottom line: 4K is pretty darn good.
