RED Projector...

[Aaron Fritz]

ambient light will always be an issue. Most people end up going with a higher gain screen like a dalite HP 2.4 gain screen.

The question that I have is, are they using a special screen material for this projector. I know the Dolby 3D system does not need a special screen. The filters use a light wavelengh.

That actually would be really neat if RED could set 1 of the RGB lasers to a specific wavelengh and the other to a diffrent wavelengh, with out using filters in the projector. Then you only need the glasses. This would really help with Light loss for 3D.

So many possibilities.

A 4K, 10-bit, 3D, laser-projector under $10K would be the day when other companies give up and bow down in front of Red... just telling, if you want to dominate the world, do that :)

RED Digital Cinema Personal 3D Viewer. Nuff said.

+1. Especially with Oakley history, you'd expect they'd already be ahead of that curve...

I wouldn't be surprised if they have something in the works just for the sake of R&D tinkering, but if they don't, I'll happily hop on a plane to CA and beg for it to become reality. Sony's P3D viewer is one snazzy little bitch, but it is in need of some refinement and better technology before the idea really catches on, and I am sure RED could hammer out a superior prototype for such a product once their no-glasses tech is cooked to perfection in the R&D lab.

Looks klike if you sign up for this event you can check out the RED Projector. Its going to be at RED studios Tonight at 5pm.

Hopefully some people can go and report back.

Projector bulbs now only last roughly 2000-3000 hours. During that time the lumen loss is huge. Even in the first 100 hours.
Also the plus of being able to turn it on/off whenever needed not worrying about killing the bulb or your hours.

Agree with you 100% on this issue Aaron.

Existing lamp technologies are a major pain to deal with, both financially / operationally and from heat / environment points of view.

That will be the sony 4k projector not the RED projector

They are a huge issue all out customers are buying spare lamps just incase they fail. And the warranty on bulb are just wrong, most are 90 days

Thank you Stuart, and Tom too. I completely agree.

I am not in disagreement either. I was not attacking you, just your posts that I feel always tend to be contrarian to RED mantra. I don't understand it nor agree with it. That simple
I apologize for offending you, but I did preference my comments with "in the best way. I like you Mike and reiterate I appreciate your
experience... but I will re clarify and say that "I completely disagree with your 'crystal ball' " - I think your smart phone analogy actually supports my argument in that most of the marketing around those is around SCREEN RESOLUTION ~ ironically.

Im also not sure that your grandma is the target demographic of new digital technology, nor is representative of an increasingly educated masses.

We didn't have the internet to discuss HD (which was developed in the 70's and 80's actually) and pioneered (unsuccessfully) by my friend Spencer Brown (former CEO TYEE EURO RSCG) the largest informercial producer in the world. He spent a DECADE trying to get people to adopt HD and FAILED MISERABLY... because the infrastructure was resistant to change.

I don't see any correlation of HD to 4K movement - to the SD to HD movement... completely different circumstances... and I therefore predict, RED PROJECTOR (among other 4K products) is going to (IMHO) re-open THEATRICAL opportunities for non main stream movies... as well as help sell FLAT PANELS in the future.

WHY? not because Im an expert. But because with Social media and the Internet. The opportunity to educate masses, is a whole lot easier than it was in the past.

Did RED ever show off that projector yesterday? I had heard that they were just going to be using a Sony PJ, but I was crossing my fingers anyways just in case.

Edit: I see that just a couple posts above me, someone says it would be a Sony PJ. Is there any confirmation of this?
