Red Ray

[Craig Ryan]

Careful gentlemen..it is still April...lol. Although I do admire the potential irony and pun in "REDRAY" if they are using standard DVD laser technology.

Also, are we going to be able to get RE-re-remastered 4k versions of Star Wars on Redray??

[Brent J. Craig]

Excuse me for being highly skeptical of this claim. Of all the things to come out of RED, this is probably the most unbelievable. Prove me wrong fellas :bleh:

2 Hours of 4K fitting into 50 GB? That's only 5 times more compressed than Redcode 28. Redcode 5.6 anyone?

[Bing Bailey]

RED RAY is based on DVD9 blanks , not bluray, so its 9GB not 50GB. how they'll stuff 2hours of 4k footage onto a 9gb dvd I've no idea. it'll have to be the most sophisticated and amazing compression ever invented.

that information was posted by mike curtis after talking to TED

It's much worse/better than that! A single-sided dual layer DVD like Stuart mentionned is only 9 GB. So that would be 2 hours of 4K fitting into 9 GB. Redcode... 1 ? :help:

This unit MUST absolutely have an RS422 or 232 control port. PLEASE! There's a HUGE market awaiting for a cheap controllable HD+ media player.

Holy crap! I am quite upset about the Scarlet and the Epic announcements, but hot damn this RedRay is one awesome deal.

Too good to be true! :shifty:

On normal DVD's!

[Craig Ryan]

lol man first it was the HD-DVD adopters, now everyone went out and went Blu Ray..when now we can just use these *picks up a spire of DVD-Rs* and get 4 *******K!!!!!!

[Luke Boyce]

So will this downrez then? If I compress my footage to the 4k Red Ray codec, but play that footage on a 1080p monitor, I'm assuming it will downrez right?

[Jaime Vallés]

The 4K RED-RAY uses standard "red" laser DVD media. The delivery codec is so efficient we can provide more than 2 hours of 4K plus audio on one dual layer single sided DVD.

It uses regular dual-layer DVDs?!?!?!?! How is this even possible? Stewart, are you on cocaine? Absolutely bonkers!

I want it now!!!

So you can have 4K cinema projection of most movies from a single dual-layer DVD?

How much 2K time can you get?
