Video resolution is a fundamental aspect of modern digital media, influencing the clarity and the quality of visual content. Video resolution refers to the number of pixels that compose a video’s image. It is expressed in terms of width by height, such as 1920*1080, where 1920 pixels represent the width, and 1080 pixels represent the height. Thus, higher resolution implies more pixels, leading to sharper and detailed images.
