4320p, 2160p, 1080p & 1080i, 720p & 720i, 576p & 576i, 480p & 480i, 360p, 240p

4320p:

4320p is an alternative name for 8K UHD, a resolution planned to appear in future UHDTV products. The number 4320 stands for 4,320 lines of vertical display resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. In a progressive image, the lines of resolution of the image go from the top of the screen to the bottom.
It is 7680 × 4320 (33.1 megapixels in the 16:9 aspect ratio).

2160p:

2160p is an alternative name for 4K UHD, a resolution supported by UHDTV products and which offers four times the definition of 1080p. The number 2160 stands for a display resolution which has 2160 pixels along the shortest side, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. In a progressive image, the lines of resolution of the image go from the top of the screen to the bottom.
2160p or 4K UHD is 3840×2160 (8.3 megapixels in the 16:9 aspect ratio) 

1080p & 1080i :-

1080p (also known as Full HD or FHD and BT.709) is a set of HDTV high-definition video modes characterized by 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution and progressive scan, as opposed to interlaced, as is the case with the 1080i display standard. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9,
1080p & 1080i is 1920x1080.

720p & 720i

The number 720 stands for the 720 horizontal scan lines of image display resolution (also known as 720 pixels of vertical resolution), while the letter p stands for progressive scan (i.e. non-interlaced) & i is interlaced, as is the case with the 720i display standard.
720p & 720i is 1280x720

576p & 576i

576p is the shorthand name for a video display resolution. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced, the 576 for a vertical resolution of 576 lines, usually with a horizontal resolution of 720 or 704 pixels. i stands for interlaced.

480p480i

480p is the shorthand name for a family of video display resolutions. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced. The 480 denotes a vertical resolution of 480 pixel high vertically scanning lines, usually with a horizontal resolution of 640 pixels and 4:3 aspect ratio. i stands for interlaced.

360p

This is an Animoto video’s default resolution. The majority of YouTube and Hulu videos are displayed in 360p, so that’s about the video quality that 360 lines of resolution provides. This (as well as the 480p) is a great resolution for mobile devices since the mobile screen rarely has enough pixels or enough memory to support HD videos.

240p


Low-definition analog TV systems. Mobile DTV systems. small screens (320 × 240 and 480 × 272 pixels respectively).

1080i VS 1080p The Difference

1080i vs. 1080p: What's the Difference?

Progressive (1080p) video is considered better than interlaced (1080i), but it's not always clear why; here's what's actually happening on your TV screen.
Today's HDTVs can display beautiful, 1,920 X 1,080-pixel video, but the actual quality of what you're viewing depends on the source material. A lot of the time, you're not seeing exactly 1080p. In fact, most TVs today have two modes with similar names: 1080i and 1080p. Both have the same screen resolution, so what's the difference between the two? Here are five things you need to know:

1080i video is "interlaced." 1080i video plays back at 60 frames per second, but that's a bit deceptive, because it's actually broadcast at 30 frames per second. The TV then displays those frames twice, the first pass is 1,920 X 540 for the even scan line field, and the second pass is 1,920 X 540 for the odd scan line field. The process by which this occurs is called interlacing. It contributes to a sense of motion and reduces perceived flicker.

1080p video is called "progressive scan." In this format, 1,920-by-1,080-pixel high-definition movies are progressively drawn line after line, so they're not interlaced. On paper, that may not seem like a huge deal. But in the real world, what you end up seeing looks sharper and more defined than 1080i, particularly during scenes with a lot of fast motion.
Sometimes 1080p is termed "Full HD" or "True HD," to distinguish it from 1080i or 720p video. Blu-ray discs contain 1080p video at 24 Frames Per Second, and then, using a method known as 3:2 pulldown, display it at 30 frames per second on screen.
Data compression can confuse the issue. Sometimes cable companies will deliver a 1080i picture, but then compress the data significantly in order to use up less bandwidth. The result can mean smeared details or pixelated color gradations in certain scenes. It's still technically HD, and still looks better than standard-definition cable, but it's not as good as it could be.
This also happens with 1080p streaming Internet video, but in that case, it's usually dependent on the speed of your data connection. In fact, Blu-ray is currently the only practical format for watching lots of pure 1080p content. Even the latest Apple TV, which supports 1080p streaming, does so in a compressed format that loses a bit of quality (although it still looks quite good).

Both formats look similar on smaller TVs. As a general rule, you need a larger TV to notice the difference between 1080i and 1080p. Depending on your eyesight, you can probably pick up the difference on a 32-inch LCD if you're particular about it. But most consumers don't really see a marked difference until at least a 42-inch screen, if not larger. In fact, many people are perfectly happy with 720p HDTV sets even at higher sizes; we recently named one, the 51" Samsung PN51E490B4F, best Choice for budget large-screen HDTVs.

1080p isn't even the best anymore. Technology never stands still, of course. Five years from now, you'll probably just want Ultra High Definition (aka 4K) video instead. (For a closer look at 4K video, check out What is Ultra HD?) But for now, if you're a videophile who appreciates a sharper picture, 1080p is definitely the way to go—both in HDTV capability and in the source material you're viewing.

Security Cameras in Our Growing Technological Society

Security Cameras in Our Growing Technological Society

Within our rapidly-growing technological society, CCTV Cameras are gradually becoming a larger part of our lives. As security concerns grow in a post-9/11 world, and as affordable security cameras become more prevalent, we are beginning to see the implementation of security cameras not just in homes and businesses, but also out on public streets.


As the prevalence of security cameras becomes greater, privacy concerns also grow: Is it worth sacrificing our personal privacy for the sake of ultimate security? In many areas, you can’t walk a couple blocks without being recorded by a camera. With the increase in public security, many questions have arisen. Although public footage is kept only in the case of an emergency, many people still fear the “big brother” concept detailed in 1984, George Orwell’s famous novel about a paranoid society controlled and monitored by an oppressive government.


But when looking at vast amount of cases where killers, rapists, burglars, etc. have been discovered and apprehended thanks to CCTV camera footage, it’s hard to dismiss public surveillance cameras as invasive. Innocent footage is most likely never seen, and even if someone were to watch you whistling while walking down the street, would it really matter? As long as footage is never abused in any way, security cameras should remain an integral part of our landscape.
