** 4K refers to (approximately) 4,000 lines of resolution - that's nominally 4 times that of HD. There are nearly a dozen 4K cameras now (from RED, Sony, Canon, Blackmagic and others); there are nearly 20,000 4K projectors in theaters; there are now 4KTV's on the market at affordable prices; and even the upcoming Playstation and Xbox will support 4K playback. Basically 4K is the new HD, where High Definition was 10 years ago.
