Can DJI Phantom 4 4K be played on iPad Pro/Air 2/Mini 4?

The Phantom 4 is the best consumer drone that DJI has released to date. It takes everything you may loved about the Phantom 3 Professional and improves upon it. Well, many DJI users will admit to have found DJI 4K video difficult to drop or transfer into iPad Pro/Air/Mini/4/3/2 for purposes of playing. Below is the easy answer to copy DJI Phantom 4 4K to iPad for playback. If you have the similar demand, read on.



Although the drone streams 720p HD footage back to a smartphone or tablet attached to the remote control from the sky, the Retina HD display of iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro can't hold or play 4K videos easily. Why? First, you should at first realize the following cruel fact that iPad Air 2 screen resolution is only 2048 * 1536 and iPad Pro has a resolution of 2732 * 2048 (for 12.9-inch) and 2048 * 1536 (for 9.7-inch). However, the 4K videos required to be play on at least 3840×2160 (16:9) or 4096×2160 (17:9) resolution screen. Therefore, the large file size from DJI Phantom 4 (Pro) is not supported well by iPad.

Worse still, in order to successfully add 4K MP4 movie files from Phantom 4 to iTunes and transfer MP4 to iPad Pro/Air/Mini/4/3/2, your MP4 video shall meet the following specs:

*MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.

If your MP4 files from Phantom 4 does not meet the requirement, your iPad will refuse to open and play. 

To achieve your goal, there is no other solution but you will need a Mac 4K video converter to convert Phantom 4 4K video to iPad format and downscale the file size by lowering the bitrate from 10Mbps to 160 Kbps, so that you can play DJI Phantom 4 (Pro) 4K on iPad Pro/Air/Mini/4/3/2 smoothly.

Two years is a long time in camera world, but that's how long it's been since Canon announced our then favourite beginner DSLR – the 750D.

[2017] 5 Best H.265/HEVC Video Converters for PC/Mac

Thanks to today's ultra high definition video and increasing complex demands for video editing, a new video format has risen to the throne, called H.265. H.265 is a kind of high quality video codec using HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) as the video compression standard. Playing, editing and streaming H.265 movies from PC would be fantastic, however, not all the mainstream devices have up-to-date capability to support this new H.265/HEVC codec, which requires converting H.265 to H.264, MPEG-4, etc with a best H.265 video converter for codec incompatibility issues. If you are searching for a truly costless, effective and functionally H.265 converting tool, keep reading...



H.265 vs H.264

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265, is the successor of H.264 to be the new video compression standard. Compared with H.264/AVC, H.265 keeps some of the original technologies, while improving some relevant techniques to provide twice the compression efficiency of the previous standard, H.264/AVC. 

Reviews of the Best H.265/HEVC Video Converter for Win/Mac

Decode H.265

H.265 will be the codec of the future and will possibly take the place of H.264 one day. In that case, many H.265 videos or media files won't be playable with the regular player apps, and some players claim to be the best H.265 player but indeed they are not working when the users trying to playback H.265 files. Luckily, with the third party H.265 converter tool available, making use of HEVC video becomes simple and easy. 

Encode H.265

Why should you care about converting to H.265 for your video files? Several very important reasons — and the most important is that you soon won't have much choice. The H.265 format, often called HEVC (high efficiency video coding), is being adopted as the new standard, particularly at the commercial level, and video creators/editors are slowly but surely being required to use it — especially for a little thing called 4K video.

However, moving from H.264 (or possibly MPEG-2) to HEVC comes with a lot of other advantages, too. This codec follows the same basic compression rules as its predecessors, but offers many more modes for intra prediction, support for greater prediction size, and fuller support for transforming. It also provides more customization for motion estimation blocks and a better in-look filter. 

You can take a look at more of the changes here, but it's a significant overall upgrade, particularly for technical video editors. If you decide to spring for x265, take a look at the latest tools when you update. The software upgrade will include UHDcode, a very handy HEVC decoder that you can use to render video frames in real time quickly and reliably. After test in deepth, here we like to pick up the best Windows or Mac H.265/HEVC converters for your options as below. 

Review of H.265 Video Converter– No.1 Dimo Video Converter Ultimate

Review of H.265 Video Converter– No.3 VideoLAN 

x265 from VideoLAN is a free software library and application for encoding video streams into the H.265/MPEG-H HEVC compression format, and is released under the terms of the GNU GPL. It is very fast software that will take minimal time to convert video while high quality is guaranteed after conversion.

Can Davinci Resolve accept 4K H.265 from DJI Zenmuse X5s

Inspire 2 and Zenmuse X5S camera are true Hollywood-grade production tools that are designed with filmmakers in mind. The new CineCore 2.0 image processing system on the Inspire 2 makes the Zenmuse X5S capable of capturing 5.2K 30fps CinemaDNG video and Apple ProRes video as well as 4K 60fps using H.264 and 4K 30fps using H.265 (both at 100Mbps). When you got a DJI Inspire 2 and recorded some 4K videos with it, you may seek for a tutorial for the post workflow when dealing with Zenmuse X5S 4K H.265 footage. In this tutorial, I will share a guide on how to import DJI Zenmuse X5S 4K H.265 to Davinci Resolve for further editing. If you are in the trouble getting Zenmuse X5S 4K video to Resolve, just read on to get some hints. 



Well, according to our multiple testing, we found two main basic reasons behind there. As you know Zenmuse X5S records 4K H.265 videos, but it seems Davinci Resolve (including Resolve 12.5) does not like the way. Davinci Resolve 12.5, 11 can handle (usually) 4K files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive. What'more, as a new-emerging codec, H.265/HEVC is not supported by Davinci Resolve. 

The easy workaround to edit Zenmuse X5S 4K H.265 videos in Davinci Resolve is to convert the 4K H.265 to a more editing-friendly format for Davinci Resolve. If you're a professional users, you must know that the most suitable format is MOV which is encoded by DNxHD codec. Therefore, a Mac 4K to DNxHD Converter can be a good assistant.

Overall, Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is best Video Converter for Zenmuse X5S footage. With this Zenmuse X5S H.265/4K video converter, you can effortlessly transcode Zenmuse X5S 4K H.265 to DNxHD encoded MOV, which will creat a Davinci Resolve friendly file format keeping the original quality. Besides Resolve, this software can also export DNxHD for Avid MC, Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro, MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere and more NLE systems for native editing. Windows uers can turn to the Windows version here. Below is the detailed guide on converting Zenmuse X5S H.265 clips to Davinci Resolve friendly videos for smoothly editing.

Free Download Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac/Win:

Here you are recommended to set the video size as 1920*1080 to realize 4K to 1080p compressing for Davinci Resolve, which can't support raw 4K video well. 



4. Start Conversion

After confirming everything is alright, click the "Start" button on the bottom right to launch the conversion. Since 4K video file is usually very large, please be more patient for the conversion.
