4K television screens or even with higher resolutions are currently available in the market. Moreover video streaming providers are able to stream videos in 4K resolution and beyond. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to have a proper understanding of video quality especially in case of 4K videos. To this effect, in this paper, we present a study of subjective and objective quality assessment of 4K ultra-high-definition videos of short duration, similar to DASH segment lengths. As a first step, we conducted four subjective quality evaluation tests for compressed versions of the 4K videos. The videos were encoded using three different video codecs, namely H.264, HEVC, and VP9. The resolutions of the compressed videos ranged from 360p to 2160p with framerates varying from 15fps to 60fps. All the source 4K contents used were of 60fps. We included low quality conditions in terms of bitrate, resolution and …
