High definition videos from ISS can be seen soon
NASA scientists have delivered a new camera, called Red Epic Dragon, which is capable of shooting at resolutions ranging from conventional high-definition television (HDTV) up to 6K, specifically 6,144 x 3,160 pixels. By comparison, the average High-definition (HD) consumer television displays up to 1,920 x 1,080 pixels of resolution, and digital cinemas typically project from 2,000 to 4,000 pixels.
Washington: NASA scientists have delivered a new camera, called Red Epic Dragon, which is capable of shooting at resolutions ranging from conventional high-definition television (HDTV) up to 6K, specifically 6,144 x 3,160 pixels. By comparison, the average High-definition (HD) consumer television displays up to 1,920 x 1,080 pixels of resolution, and digital cinemas typically project from 2,000 to 4,000 pixels.
The camera's ability to record at a high resolution as well as up to 300 frames per second made it the ideal recording device to capture dynamic events like vehicle operations near the station, such as docking and undocking. The higher resolution images and higher frame rate videos can reveal more information when used on science investigations, giving researchers a valuable new tool aboard the space station.

ReelNASA posted views of the Earth and activities recorded from inside the station as an example of the detailed images this new camera can capture. ReelNASA, one of NASA's YouTube accounts, is a home for much of the International Space Station's video content.
