Resolution - definition

Resolution is the most used work in video files or in display technology. The resolution simply means the pixel count in each plane (horizontal and vertical). Now for example, if we say a display resolution is 1920x1080, then it means it has 1920 pixels horizontally and 1080 pixels vertically. Here, the aspect ratio would be Length / height which is 1920/1080 = 16/9 = 1.77.

Resolution is always written as the pixel of H-plane x V-plane (Here, H-plane denotes the horizontal plane and V-plane denotes to vertical plane). If the display resolution is higher, then the image becomes more detailed. Obviously, this is also dependent on the content or source as well.

Another term appears in resolution when we consider a video file as a sample which is “p” and “I”. More or less every one of us saw the resolution like 1080p or 720p, 1080i. It means the scanning method of the video file is wither P = Progressive or I= Interlaced.
