hochauflösenden

Hochauslösend is a German adjective commonly written as hochauflösend, meaning high-resolution. It is used to describe images, displays, cameras, sensors, and other media or devices that provide a high level of detail compared with lower-resolution counterparts. The term is formed from hoch (high) and auflösend (related to Auflösung, resolution) and is part of a broader vocabulary that includes niedrigauflösend (low-resolution) and mittlere Auflösung (mid resolution). The form hochauflösenden is one inflected form of the adjective, appearing in contexts where it modifies a plural noun in certain cases, such as mit hochauflösenden Displays or die hochauflösenden Kameras.

Usage and context

In technical and consumer contexts, hochauflösend is used to characterize visual content and devices that deliver sharp, detailed images. It is often associated with standards or specifications in display technology (monitors, televisions, projectors), imaging sensors (cameras, scanners), and video formats. The term is commonly contrasted with lower-resolution terms and is frequently found in product descriptions, reviews, and specifications. Related concepts include genauer definierte Auflösung, Pixeldichte (PPI), und Displayauflösung. In practice, the designation is relative: what qualifies as hochauflösend depends on viewing distance, device size, and the compared baseline.

Orthography and variants

The base form is hochauflösend. Inflected forms, such as hochauflösenden, occur to agree with different grammatical cases and numbers. Some older or informal texts may show slight orthographic variants, but hochauflösend is the standard form in contemporary German. The term is also used in abbreviated forms like hochauflösende Inhalte or 4K-/8K-aufgelöste Medien, depending on context.
