Dementeleus Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Anyone feel like saving their pennies for the awesometastic new RED gear? :lol:4K player and projector, capable of 120fps 3D (4K in each eye). Damn! Quote
ecstasy Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 LOL the only reason I have a blu ray player is because of the PS3. If I were an amateur film maker I probably would save my pennies for it. But there is no need in my life for that, lol. Quote

CloneWars Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Who knows if this technology will really take off. I think this will be like laser disc that only gets a small following. After Blu Ray, streaming is the future. Quote
Dementeleus Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 At this point, it's targeted more at professional venues -- theaters, post houses, visual FX studios, etc. But the price is actually low enough for the high-end consumer market. Quote
Dementeleus Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Is streaming really going to be the future?For what, consumers? Probably. You still need something to project or watch it on, though. Quote
Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 How would streaming work? I think downloading would be more popular. Quote
Dementeleus Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 How would streaming work? I think downloading would be more popular.Those are really similar. Technically, iTunes downloads files, but since it allows progressive downloading, you can watch only a few seconds after you buy it, which basically seems like streaming. As bandwidth increases, they're essentially going to become the same. So I was just differentiating a digital file versus an actual disc. Quote

DoctorWho Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Got youI thought you meant like Netflix stream but every time you wanted watch a movie it cost you like $3 dollars.So...if you want to watch a movie you pay 3$ ..and if you want to watch it again you have to pay another 3? Quote
Jim Shorts Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Plenty of time to save, I'd say another 5-7 years before this becomes affordable to the masses. Quote
cheesypoofs Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Is streaming really going to be the future?I hope not. I like having a my own copy of a film. Quote
Dementeleus Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 I hope not. I like having a my own copy of a film.Every film? Quote
Dementeleus Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 If I like the film.Right... but streaming makes a lot of sense for "rentals". Quote
redfirebird2008 Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Most consumers don't even need 4K in their home. You reach a point of diminishing returns when you're talking about the average HDTV, which is in the 50 inch neighborhood. Quote
Dementeleus Posted May 25, 2012 Author Posted May 25, 2012 Most consumers don't even need 4K in their home. Not yet. Quote
