4k HTML video encoding

I am trying to play 4K video as a background in an HTML page. Is this possible?

I have a custom HTML5 site with dynamic video and media content that we would like to have 4k video playing on. We bought an XT1143 because it supports 4k video. However I'm not sure how to do this. Can you please help?

I'm not using the BightAuthor app but instead copying the raw HTML markup and media content to a 10 times 32gb microSD card as per your docs. The page works fine with HD or below video video but not 4k. 

Also what is the format to play video in HTML on the XT1143? These are my current settings using ffmpeg:

Container: .mov
Codec: h264 - MPEG-4 AVC  (part 10) (avc1)
Res: 3840x2160
Framerate: 30 fps
Decoded format: Planar 4:4:4 YUV

I used this page as a reference http://support.brightsign.biz/hc/en-us/articles/218065707-Which-quicktime-mov-mp4-file-types-do-BrightSign-players-support- 

I have tried setting my XT device screen resolutions

- 3840x2160x30p 
- 1920x1080x30p
- 1280x720x25p

But the HTML will only display in the 720 mode.

Do you have any example of a HTML5 project with HD video project or ideal 4k if possible?

    I managed to get 4K video working in the HTML project and the solution was to use h265 video. However the video quality is very poor even thought the original video quality is good. Can you please help me increase the video quality in the HTML page?

    Any Progress on this?

     

    We have a similar problem.

    BrightSign XT 1143 with 4K Display

    We want to Display a 4k HTML Page with a FullHD LiveVideo Window in the Middle.

     

    But the HTML Page always displayd in 1920x1080 but the Project in BA is 4k.

    It seems like there is an Bug in BA or in the Firmware.
