For 4k playback as other have states you need a quite powerful machine. Modern i7 + good GPU. Also you must realize that 4k 60p is double the amount of data being displayed than of 4k 30p so first thing to try is 4k 30p.
Converting it to h264 may help just a bit depending on the player/settings that you are using, but in my experience is almost worst. For editing in in Resolve h264 is terrible, MJPEG works quite well.
Last make sure that you are not reading the video file from a single HD that can be the bottleneck. A SSD or playing directly from a USB 3.0 CFast card reader will work.
As a reference a Notebook with i7 4810MQ with a Nvidia Quadro M2000 2GB can playback 4k 30p in real-time in both EOS Movie and Resolve. A i7 4790 with a GTX 980 can play back 4k 60p MJPEG in real-time in EOS Movie and Resolve.
I would say that a CPU that can do more than 8000 in this benchmark http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html and GTX 970,980,1070 or 1080 will do.
For 4k editing a i7 6800 with a GTX 1070 8GB and SSD is a good starting point.
PS: I edit 1DX II 4k MJPEG video every week....Show more →
I have the Surface Studio with all options so it is fully loaded with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M 4GB GPU GDDR5 memory and Quad-core 6th Gen Intel Core i7. and 32GB ram.
I tried to use the CFast card and reader to play back and it still didnt look right...made me feel nauseated to wtch much. After looking at the camera, since i really hadnt used video it seems that I had the 4K at make speed running...perhaps that is part of the problem. I noticed that even though I have dual card being written to with redundant info, there we not any videos on the non CFast card so that would probably serve to confirm that I had the max 4K video recording..
I will admit that I should have known ahead of time what I was doing, but I didnt think (UGH!) it was a big deal....now I know. I will adjust the settings and try a few more videos....I might also try to get a HDMI cable that matches the camera and my TV. I have a 4K Sony 75" TV....so maybe the camera will be able to pump it out. As I said it looks fine on the camera...just when I try to play it on my new Surface Studio monitor. The monitor is a sight to behold and the photos look great on it...portions of the video look great as well....so I will slow down the 4K and see how that goes....stay tuned!!!
And thanks to everyone that has provided comments here, it is very much appreciated!
