iTunes and 4K Video

[kkillam]

Does anyone know if you can watch 4K content from a MacBook Pro through iTunes and project it to a television? I can't seem to get iTunes to download anything other than 1080p even on movies I know are in the store for 4K (such as Alien: Covenant). Any ideas?

I don't think Apple has flipped the switch on 4K just yet. I don't think it will be until the 4K Apple TV releases.
I don't see any 4K content either, and I have a 5K iMac.

Ah okay. That makes sense. I just assumed since iTunes was updated that that was all that was needed to get started.
