A picture is a picture. If the higher resolution of 4K is wiped out by compression and it adds a whole lot of compression artifacts to boot, then it's trivially easy for 1080p from Blu-Ray to be superior.

Akamai is pushing their cloud server to NAB. In fact, it's not NTEK's codec stream at 10mbps, it's Akamai's, according to their demonstration blurbs (the ones posted here). Something called AVC.

Either AVC is Akamai's marketing b.s. for h.264 (entirely possible) or they shoehorned a new AVC decoder onto the NP-1. I'd bet on the former. A little marketing b.s. is perfectly acceptable.

The question is totally meaningful, and in fact is the only important question. If the number of pixels on the screen is so important to you, then compare 4K through h.264 streaming to 1080p that's been upscaled by the Marseille chip, like the one Seiki is selling. Is the video quality out of that from Blu-Ray 1080p superior to 4K at 15mbps?

I'll bet it is.

Lastly, if you're going to go, then go. An extended flounce is unseemly.

Pardon if I feel your question about 1080 is irrelevant. I do not see the importance of your question when NTEK is dealing with 4K. Are these not completely different? Hence the irrelevance. Sorry I don't have the answer or understand what seems to me to be a twisted question. For me, your question it is MEANINGLESS.
