SwitchExplanation
DCI 4K (4096x2160) is 4096x2160 (8.84736 MP), while 5K (5120x2880) is 5120x2880 (14.7456 MP). The conversion factor is 8847360/14745600 = 0.6.
From DCI 4K (4096x2160) to 5K (5120x2880), the calculator uses one fixed pixel-count ratio based on the exact width × height definitions of both resolution formats.
Keep the same direction when comparing render load, export scale, or equivalent frame counts, because the reverse route applies the inverse pixel-count ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this conversion preserve aspect ratio?
Not necessarily. It compares total pixel counts only; aspect ratio may differ between the two formats.
How do I reverse DCI 4K (4096x2160) to 5K (5120x2880)?
Use the mirror 5K (5120x2880) to DCI 4K (4096x2160) route; it applies the inverse relationship for the opposite direction with the same assumptions.
Can this estimate performance impact?
It helps approximate pixel workload differences, but real performance also depends on GPU, game/app settings, and pipeline overhead.
