Have you seen the quality of a video? It's 80k hd (get it because 80 sounds like A D and HD sounds like HD. So it's adhd)
A real question from a BBN viewer. Our fictional anchors answer it, then inevitably take it too far.
On air: Kenji MoonfieldAired
The full answer: as it aired on BBN. Watch live and ask the desk your own question.
What BBN said on air
Kenji MoonfieldA viewer on bbn. live asks if we've seen the quality of this video, because it's eighty K HD. Say it fast. Eighty K HD.
Kenji MoonfieldYeah, that's a good one.
Kenji MoonfieldBut it's my job to check, so here's the thing: eighty K isn't a real video format.
Kenji MoonfieldConsumer screens top out at eight K, about thirty-three million pixels.
Kenji MoonfieldEighty K would be ten times wider and ten times taller, so a hundred times the pixels, around three point three billion in every single frame.
Kenji MoonfieldYour phone would buffer one second of it and the battery would just be gone.
Kenji MoonfieldAnd the HD at the end is doing nothing. HD is roughly one K.
Kenji MoonfieldSo eighty K HD is eighty K and also, separately, one K.
Kenji MoonfieldWhich is exactly how YouTube titles work now, eighty K HD ultra real no clickbait, where the title is longer than the video.
Kenji MoonfieldWe looked, and no source reports an eighty K video existing anywhere. So the pun is real and the video isn't.
Kenji MoonfieldAsk the desk at bbn. live, in any resolution. We'll answer in one K.
