Displaying 4K Source Video
Though it only has a native resolution of 2560 × 1440, the Z27x can receive and display a 4096 × 2160 or 3840 × 2160 input signal. Multiple scaling and display options are provided. To provide the highest quality display of 4K source video on the Z27x the scaling algorithm has been specifically tuned to provide a naturalistic scaling without any sharpness or edge enhancement.
When a 4096 × 2160 or 3840 × 2160 signal is input into the monitor, the following scaling options are available via the 4K Sources section of the Digital Cinema Options page. If DCI aspect ratio cropping has been selecting, these options are applied after the image is cropped.
