4K workflow

I wish there were 4k guidelines to help in editing my 4k xavc-s video footage. My Vegas Pro 12 rendered files don't play back on my Seiki 4k television smoothly or in 4k resolution. I am using the new high speed HDMI cable directly from PC to TV and from Camera to TV. I could use some help. I would like to be able to play an edited video instead of raw footage directly from my Sony 4k AX1. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

What video card is in the PC?
Does it officially support 4K video?
What video player are you using?
Is the video player using software (CPU) or hardware (DXVA) video decoders?

Software decode may not be smooth at 4K depending on many factors. Hardware decode comes back to the video card 4K support question. If the video card supports 4K video then the hardware decoder in the video card should provide smooth decode for playback.

not sure if this affects you here, but I notice that VP12 4K is "actual 4K" @ 4096 x 2304, and not the upcoming pseudo-industry standard of twice HD @ 3840 x 2160, which I suspect your TV wants as a signal.

- which resolution of 4k does your camera shoot
- are you rendering as Vegas 4K or 3840 4K?

Youtube 4k is highly compresses, probably nothing like what you are putting out.

PS I'd love to download some footage from this camera if you could dropbox it or something? Like to test my system for 4K processing

Dual quad core w/ a Quadro (K4000) is a good start. The GTX better for gaming.
I think Tube 4k, is a less than 1/4 the data rate of a standard 1080 Blu-ray.
