Why can live events be done in ultra HD on television but when its streamed on the internet the quality is usually super low?
In: Technology
The streaming quality depends on your internet connection as well. Assuming it’s a good connection, (at least for YouTube, but I assume for other services) when a video is first uploaded, it uploads in standard definition to ensure that it at least exists. After time, assuming the user has the settings correct, it automatically re-uploads itself in HD. It could very well be that you are watching the recorded stream before it has had a chance to auto-upload in HD.
With the Internet, it’s like talking to each person individually, one on one, whereas television is using a megaphone.
With the megaphone, you only need to speak once and everyone nearby hears yoyr message.
