REDray player & projector

[Dementeleus]

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!

[ecstasy]

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.

If I was rich than I would but being a college student there is no place for it.

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.

[Dementeleus]

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.

Is streaming really going to be the future?

For what, consumers? Probably. You still need something to project or watch it on, though.

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.

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?

Plenty of time to save, I'd say another 5-7 years before this becomes affordable to the masses.

I hope not. I like having a my own copy of a film.

Every film?

[cheesypoofs]

Every film?

If I like the film.

[Dementeleus]

Right... but streaming makes a lot of sense for "rentals".

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.

Not yet.

Finally, they will be showing in their booth a 4K, 3D short film entitled Loom, directed by Ridley Scott’s son, Luke , and shot by Pirates of the Caribbean cinematographer Dariusz Wolski.
