[amsat-bb] DVB-S2X Whitepaper by Newtec.

[John Brier]

Not important to DVB-S2X, but in that document the very first sentence
is incorrect:

"Beyond four times (4K) the resolution of High Definition (HD) video,
true Ultra HD (UHD) delivers a more immersive.."

I thought that's what 4K meant too at first, but it actually has to do
with the horizontal resolution being approximately 4,000 pixels.

"4K resolution, also called 4K, refers to a horizontal display
resolution of approximately 4,000 pixels."  -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution

4K resolution is actually about 2x the resolution of HD. 3,840×2,160
vs 1,920×1,080

I just emailed the above to Newtec (sales email is what was listed so
who knows if it will help).
