Is RAM Size Really Important For 4K UHD Commercial Playback ?

Most Of Consumer-Line Based Android TV Media Players Are Boosted To Deploy 2GB RAM For Use Of 4K UHD Video Playback, That Sent An Impression To People That 4K Commercial Video Playback Must Require 2GB Or 4GB RAM, Especially, There Is A RAM Race For Smartphone World When Android Is Frequently Releasing Updates 4.4, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1….

But For 4K UHD Commercial Applications, Customers have to be clear and honest to ask themselves a simple question, Do I really need 2GB RAM ? or Does 2GB RAM give credit to the expected reliability ?

Some Typical 4K UHD Projects Working For 4K UHD LCD TV Retail Demonstration:
For 4K retail demonstration, there is really no need organic android, a simplified, light-weighted android with just a 4K media player app could be fine. Thinking 4K video decoding could be handled via hardware, 512MB RAM works pretty fine technically, and our testing has verified it, even with the highest bitrate of 4K UHD video’s 500Mbps. Most Importantly, The light-weight Android is even more reliable.

 

Or Some 4K UHD projects with 4K resolution and need extra support from GPU acceleration for graphic-rich apps like sports-training assistant apps ? That Would Require Strong GPU and extra apps or Google service to make customer’s app run smoothly, in that case, an original android O/S must be in place, and 2GB RAM becomes necessary.
