Both have the same 4k characteristics : HDMI® (4K video via HDCP 2.2 HDMI®), but the Ultra has better wireless handling. 802.11ac dual-band MIMO and Ethernet Port for Ultra. Premiere has 802.11 (b/g/n compatible) with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 support. If you're streaming 4k, you want the best speed handling available - and I'd recommend a direct ethernet connection if you can provide it - and only the Ultra has the wired ethernet port. Even without a wired connection, the 802.11ac on the Ultra is about 3x faster than the Premier - which could come into play with the data-heavy nature of 4k. If you want to get tech-y, here is a snippet from a Forbes article detailing the differences between the two wireless types above: There has been a six year gap between 802.11n (highest that the Premiere goes) and 802.11ac (Ultra). This is an eternity in technology terms and the big benefit 802.11ac brings from its time in development is speed. WiFi is always promoted using ‘theoretical’ speeds and by this standard 802.11ac is capable of 1300 megabits per second (Mbps) which is the equivalent of 162.5 megabytes per second (MBps). This is 3x faster than the typical 450Mbps speed attributed to 802.11n. The problem is these speeds are garbage. In the real world no-one ever gets close to theoretical speeds and the fastest 802.11ac real world speeds recorded in testing are around 720Mbps (90MBps). By contrast 802.11n tops out at about 240Mbps (30MBps) so the 3x estimate is still true, just much lower.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, I believe it is the same exact quality - Ultra gives you an ethernet port and sound jack with headphones. There may be more differences but those are the main 2 that I can think of ... same quality 4k
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.4k quality is 4k quality it doesn't matter.
