1080pVideo

1080pVideo refers to video content encoded for a display resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, commonly known as 1080p or Full HD. The 'p' indicates progressive scanning, where each frame is drawn in a single pass.

The typical aspect ratio is 16:9, though some material uses letterboxing or cropping for alternative formats. Common frame rates include 24, 30, and 60 frames per second, with higher frame rates delivering smoother motion.

Delivery and encoding rely on digital codecs such as H.264, H.265 (HEVC), or AV1, housed in containers like MP4 or MKV. Bitrates vary with content and codec, but 1080p is generally feasible over a wide range of networks.

1080p has been widely used in Blu-ray discs, streaming services, broadcast television, and computer displays since the late 2000s. It remains a common standard due to its balance of image quality and bandwidth requirements, though 4K and higher resolutions have become more prevalent.

In contrast to 1080i, which uses interlaced scanning, 1080p provides consistent, full-frame updates. The term 1080pVideo is sometimes used in consumer contexts to refer to any content intended for 1080p playback.
