The Pro Series video devices support a variety of resolutions for different user needs. The actual resolution of the video being played back depends on many factors including the source of the video, the method of playback, and account settings.

Use a TV or monitor with the same resolution or higher than what the camera is configured to play back to see footage in its full resolution without zooming in.
