Broadcast term: 2K
2K is used two ways: for the cinema frame about 2048 pixels wide, and on consumer platforms for 1440p. Vendors seldom say which they mean. From 3 source pages, read 2026-09-25 to 2026-11-04; no maker pays to be listed.
Two vendors on the sheet print a 2K output, one as a model tier and one as a plan export.
YouTube's encoding page lists 1440p (2K) with its own bitrates between 1080p and 4K.
For a delivery spec, 2K is worth pinning down in pixels. A 2048-wide cinema frame and a 2560-wide 1440p frame are both called 2K on vendor pages, and neither is what a UHD broadcaster means by 4K.
Where a vendor prints 2K without pixel dimensions, the sheet records the tier name as printed and does not convert it. The two 2K figures here come from a model maker and a drama app, and neither gives a width.
In a delivery chain 2K usually appears as a mastering size for cinema rather than a television one; a broadcaster asking for UHD will not accept it as a substitute.
