4k, 8k and future proofing? How many 4K 5.1 high quality streams can 1g handle?

[freebuju]

Roughly 9~ concurrent streams (if we're talking uncompressed blurays) assuming the network infrastructure is dedicated. OTOH If talking Netflix 4k, the number of streams capable here is just about infinite :)
