It is universally known as Full High Definition (Full HD).
: This tag indicates a specific encoding preference. The uploader optimized the compression settings to prioritize a minimal storage footprint, making it ideal for users with limited hard drive space or slower internet connections. Technical Performance of x265 "Small" Encodes
