Learn in 30: Record 4K Video with Your Smartphone or Tablet – Presented by John Krout
"Full" resolution HDTVs show video with a resolution of 2.1 megapixels per frame. 4K HDTVs, now available for as little as $280, show 4 times the resolution, about 8.3 megapixels per frame. Roku and many Blu-ray players now provide 4K resolution media, and Redbox even rents various titles on 4K media. Learn how you can record 4K using free apps on your smartphone or tablet, and then watch your 4K recordings on a 4K HDTV. John has used several 4K video recording apps for Android and Apple iOS.
John Krout is a regular presenter at our meetings, and a prolific author of articles appearing in the PATACS Posts newsletter.

Cans of paint all partly used, left-over tiles;
broken lamp shade, window fan, grout
from long ago, clock running very slow,
model airplane missing wing, soccer ball
collapsed, rhododendron fertilizer, must
remember. In the spring, on a bench the
pair of pliers that you came for, plus the
spackle, that you tried to find before.
Take them, thankful, turn and go, softly,
softly, close the door. -- Caroline McNeil
