Why does Emby use so much uploading when streaming 4K films ?

I was streaming from my dedicated box (1 Gbit dublex) to my home (200 down 20 up), and I played some HDR 4K files. I noticed that my home bandwidth was using 70-140 mbits download speed which is understandable and around 18 out of my 20 upload speed. Why does it require so much upload speed? What is sent that needs so much during the 4K streams?

Is the server on the same LAN as the playback device?

Please provide your logs and a little more info on the playback device.
