What is Tricolor TV Ultra HD?

The new 4K Ultra HD standard is an ultra-high definition digital broadcasting format with an image resolution of 3840x2160 pixels.

Super-high resolution displays images with incredible detail and color depth. With 4K Ultra HD broadcasting, you will see an even sharper and richer picture than Full HD, which has a resolution of only 1920 * 1080 pixels. 4K Ultra HD resolution of the matrix has a positive effect on the quality of the surround image.

The number of Tricolor TV subscribers who, although watching 4K content, is constantly growing. In this regard, questions about the relevance of equipment are heard more and more often. What are the advantages of ULTRA HD, what do you need to view it and how to connect equipment?

For ultra-clear viewing of content in ultra-high definition format, subscribers of the Tricolor TV operator need a 4K TV, a conditional access module or a GS A230 receiver. We focus on the module, and not on the corresponding receivers, since the module has much more advantages. With it, you can connect your TV to modern satellite TV even without a receiver attachment. Most of all modern TV models already have a special built-in slot and a satellite tuner (DVB-S2). It is necessary to insert our CI + module with an operator's smart card into it. As a result, you will get rid of unnecessary wires and equipment, and you only need a TV remote control to switch channels. All digital TV channels of the operator (more than 250) will be stored in the TV's memory. Another advantage is that the cost of the CAM module is much lower than the models of consoles for viewing 4K offered by Tricolor TV.

How to connect CI + Tricolor TV module and watch ULTRA HD:

1. Connect the satellite dish to the ULTRA HD TV with a cable. Its F-connector is screwed into the corresponding socket (Satellite) of the TV. Next, we configure the satellite dish. You can call a specialist or do everything yourself. We set the parameters of our satellite "Eutelsat W4 / W7 36.0 E".

2. Insert the smart card into the CI + Tricolor TV module.

3. Insert the CAM into the slot. On ULTRA HDTVs, it is located on the side or back of the TV screen.

4. Enter the satellite dish settings menu and use the remote control to start automatic channel search. Most of the latest ULTRA HD models have Tricolor TV carrier frequency protection parameters. All that is required of you is to confirm your choice by pressing a button and wait for the end of the automatic search for all channels.

5. If the software of the built-in tuner does not contain the necessary frequencies, then they can be found in the table or on our Tricolor TV website. Further, through the manual search for the TV, you need to find and add all the missing Tricolor TV channels.

6. Save and sort the found TV channels.

It supports the desired format, although outwardly unremarkable prefix. However, if you carefully read the characteristics, the user gets a fairly functional device with a wide range of capabilities. At the same time, the GS AC790 is quite inexpensive and very easy to configure.

You can get such a model on favorable terms, with a decent discount. Tricolor TV, both before and now, is holding an action on. Other models include the Gigablue HD Ultra UE and VU + Solo 4K. Also pretty powerful set-top boxes that support the desired format.

Subsequent adjustments are carried out in normal mode, you only need to set the required parameters. In a few hours you will be able to enjoy a flawless picture on your TV screen.

As soon as you hammer in a search engine a question about events related to the field of video, an incredible number of "superspecialists" will pour on you a tub of terms related to new technologies. And information about streaming, 4K, quantum dots, HDR and much more will pour in. But if you try to find out, and which of them had to use at least one of these, then the bulk will prefer to remain silent.

Or there will be excuses about the lack of content. But is this statement true? After all, the implementation of 4K TVs has been going on for many years. Surprisingly enough, we have to agree that it simply could not be otherwise. Justify? You are welcome.

For starters, let's remember the information that everyone has access to. On the vast expanses of the Internet today, of course, it is possible to find content that has 4K (UHD) resolution. But in very small quantities. Despite the fact that the first UHD TVs were released 6 years ago, the production of films with such a resolution did not begin more than a year ago.

Of the total available number, there are only 35 such films in Russian. If this figure is multiplied by a factor of 4.5, then you get the total amount of this product. And none of them can be officially implemented on the territory of Russia. They can only be ordered overseas.

4K UHD movies found on discs

I must say that many users do not understand the meaning of purchasing this product at all. However, there is not much more film with the required resolution on the World Wide Web. And 95% of them posted on torrent trackers are ordinary fakes! To make these rips, the video capture of the HDMI output on the UHD player is used.

The quirky authors of such films, if I may say so, have even become available to programmatically add HDR tags to their products. The existence of these proposals is explained very simply: they are generated by the presence of demand. But it has nothing in common with the original discs. For this reason, these rips look like a high-quality asscale Full HD video.

Is there any hope of getting enough 4K movies? We think so. And if so, then it's time to get the most sophisticated TV model. That is, regular 4K will not work. Smart TV must be present on it without fail, otherwise you will not be able to see 4K content.

Moreover, it was Smart TV that was the impetus for the appearance of 4K video on TV screens. And you should definitely pay attention to it when choosing a TV model. This is the cornerstone on which the development of progress in this area is based, capable of ensuring its future. Therefore, the conversation will go on about him.

Smart TV as a source of 4K UHD video content

The Smart TV project was prepared for the role of a panacea for the crisis, the wave of which began to overwhelm both individual producers and television as such, at the final stage of the 2000s. The latter lost its status as an operational means of obtaining information, and this applied not only to news.

With the help of a computer, the user got access not only to the choice of any point of view, but he could also get acquainted with it at any time convenient for him. There was an active outflow of films and video products to the Internet. To prevent this, they tried to impose a ban on torrents, but nothing came of it.

Companies such as Netflix, VooDoo and TiVo became the recipients of income instead of owners of cable networks. This led to the fact that users began to treat an ordinary TV as an anachronism, which, like a push-button telephone, can provide only one function.

It was then that the concept of Smart TV appeared. Much has been said about how to use it and how it looks. We will only repeat the main points. The TV has a main menu. Thanks to its presence, users are provided with access to online broadcasts, broadcasts and movie libraries provided by online cinemas or a provider.

Some of the films on offer are paid. There is a choice of video quality, subscription and much more. To eliminate the occurrence of problems with the speed of action of "hardware", cloud technologies are at the heart of everything.

That is, the TV does not download the program, but only a hyperlink of video services, games and everything else. In order not to limit the capabilities of TVs, they were translated into full-fledged operating systems WebOS, Tizen, Firefox, Android.

Where to get 4K UHD content?

For those who have already purchased a 4K TV, this question is very popular. Therefore, let's try to figure out what is available now and what should be expected soon.

Online cinemas with 4K movies

Online media services and programs for viewing 4K cannot keep up with the requirements of the time, and for this it is necessary to constantly increase the list of offered content. Further we will list those of them that offer really high quality material.

Youtube

If it is not the largest media portal (Google), then it is definitely one of them. On it, the appearance of Ultra HD television receivers in the distribution network was marked by the addition of support for 4K resolution. Ultra-high definition video playback is available after selecting 2160p in the setting. Immediately after that, an incredibly detailed picture is reflected on the screen. To be honest, this cannot be called real 4K, since the service performs video compression. This is justified by the real need to reduce size as well as increase streaming speed.

Netflix

It is also a well-known service to users, despite the fact that it has recently become available in our country. They are offered a fairly extensive selection of Ultra HD video content. Here are popular TV shows and films. His video library is ready to provide everyone with content that can demonstrate all the power and beauty of the latest technology.

Service services are paid, and the cost is quite high. To be able to watch 4K movies, a subscription is offered. You will have to pay eleven dollars for it every month. But for this money, all restrictions on the amount of viewed material are removed.

In addition, a potential user is offered a free trial period, to realize the need to subscribe or unsubscribe from it.

Okko

Domestic services are also trying to keep up. Already today you can find a number of 4K films on Okko, and development in this direction continues. The service is paid.

Ivi

This is an online cinema, the repertoire of which is constantly updated with material with cutting edge resolution. It differs from the previous service in the absence of payment for viewing a certain number of films in Ultra HD.

Megogo

This media resource has a section that contains very high definition free content. It can be accessed by viewers who have TVs from LG and Samsung, which use OS Tizen and webOS. The library currently has more than twenty online UHD movies with HDR support.

Briefly about other sources of 4K UHD content

Of course, camcorders, action cameras and cameras used in smartphones should be considered one of the significant providers of UHD content. Almost all of them today have access to shooting with a resolution of 3840 by 2160.
