Things are changing rapidly in the world of 4K workflow and Apple technology. If you want to come along and catch up on the latest developments, ask questions and generally talk things over with one...

Elsie,

Apart from the change in the Adobe CS licensing model, just wondering why you're looking for an alternative to the Adobe CS 6 RED Workflow ... Adobe products work just fine with .3rd native...

Hi Luc,

The combination works just fine .... but let me just make sure you're using it in the same way that we are:

1) we have the BMD DeckLink 4K Extreme PCIe card insidea MacPro Tower or...

Good question ... we're actually taking a different approach ... after the training session there will be a monthly test and anyone not getting 100% will be kept in detention and severely beaten ......

Hi Les,

Not sure what your setup is but we're not having any problems with playback on the SEIKI 50 inch ... we have three of them now and have tried several different combinations and they all...

As part of our ongoing 4K MADE EASY training events, we're running an ADOBE CS6 4K workflow session on Saturday, May 25th on the The Lot in West Hollywood.

Our very own, Tony Aaron II, Premiere...

Funny you should say that, but I was thinking exactly the same thing ... i happened to be at Jimi's last concert way back in the summer of 1970 on the Isle-of-Wight ... I seemed to recall him...

Will definitely keep you posted, Jeff ... you've been a great source of sound technical knowledge and reliable advice over the years ... also a continual source of inspiration on achieving the right...

Yep ... we did some more testing on Sunday ... colorimetry is coming along nicely ... we can dial the chroma, gamma and luma levels in pretty well now and 4K EPIC footage looks crisp and sweet ......

Agree totally ... glad you liked it when playing true RED UHD footage ... and yes, once the colorimetry is dialed in, the SEIKI produces an amazingly good looking image .... and quite frankly, I'm...

Hi Luis,

Just so you know we're running a 4K MADE EASY Premiere Pro Training Day on Sat May 25th on The Lot in West Hollywood ... it'll be similar to the training session we ran last month on 4K...

Les , not sure who is telling you that the SEIKI is not 10 bit but you might want to check where they're getting their information from .... there's a very smart engineer in northern China who might...

Sven,

If you need your SAN to only handle HD footage than a NAS is a good option ... however, if you want to edit and grade 4K RED material then you might want to consider something like the...

Jeff, don't buy anything just yet ... we have a 4k projector in development which might just surprise you ... the prototype was nearly ready to show at our 4K Training Day last Saturday ... we're...

Hi Ben,

The ExaSAN PCIe express approach is definitely worth checking out ..... faster and cheaper than anything else on the market at the moment ... we've tested all different kinds of storage...

Just finished our first 4K MADE EASY training day ... man, did we cover some ground in four hours, or what ... my head is still spinning.

Kudos to Sam Mestman for having so much knowledge at his...

Jeff, in the service menu, make sure you dial down the LCD backlight levels ... guess they really crank it up for the showrooms and consumer market ... bring down the overall luma levels helps with...

As mentioned the other day, we had our 4K SEIKI UHD TV calibrated by our regular calibration guru and it came up amazingly well after he had dialed in the controls in the service menu ... yesterday I...

Seriously good news, Jeff .... the blacks are very clean and lots of detail ... the skin tones were lovely - very natural ... and the detail in the wides stunning ... EPIC plus SEIKI is going to be a...

The other cool thing we did this afternoon is get our favorite color calibrator to come in and tweak the SEIKI ... David Webb is a genius when it comes to accurately profiling plasmas, LCDs and OLEDS...

Quick update on developments this morning and some pixs:

1) got DaVinci Resolve running on a PC but can not get the SEIKI to display the 3840x2160 signal coming out of the BlackMagic 4K Extreme...

Short answer ... NO ... tried that last night ... had a DP to HDMI cable into HDMI port #1 and HDMI to HDMI into port #3 running off a TITAN on a PC and could not get any kind of signal to display...

Actually a great question, Nigel .... the answer is a little convoluted I'm afraid, so bear with me for a bit:

1) the DeckLink card allows you to monitor your graded image on a decent monitor that...

Paul, I'm actually at home now eating my warmed up dinner on my own :-( ... apparently, telling your wife that you're late home because you were in the lab configuring a 4K TV is not a good thing ......

Connected the SEIKI to one of our SuperMicro PCs running a NVIDIA TITAN and got it running at 3840x2160P at 30Hz no problemo (there wasn't a higher refresh rate) ... connected first time under HDMI...
