now brings you 4K Ultra HD streaming capability, giving
you a best-in-class television experience with true-to-life picture
quality when used with compatible 4K Ultra HD TV something Apple TV and
Chromecast don’t support. Your 4K TV must support minimum HDCP
requirements for protected content playback.
4K Ultra High Definition (4K Ultra HD or UHD) offers enhanced picture resolution up to 2160p—which is four times greater than HD.
With Amazon Fire TV (2nd Generation), you can watch movies and TV shows offered in this format from Amazon Video and other streaming video services.
Amazon Fire TV is built to support High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) delivering more 1080p high-definition streams from Amazon Video than ever before—even if you don’t own a 4K TV. HEVC is approximately 2x more efficient at encoding video than the current industry standard, which means less bandwidth is needed to deliver high-quality video streams. As a result, the majority of Fire TV customers will now experience more high-quality, 1080p streams from Amazon Video.
To stream videos in 4K Ultra HD, you need a high-speed Internet connection of at least 15 Mbps. Some other video apps, including Netflix, recommend a connection of at least 20 Mbps to stream content in 4K Ultra HD.
