REDray Player...

[Petr Dvorak]

I'm pretty sure Jim said that what we saw today already was 2K in each eye and that they're hoping in just a couple days to have the dual streams of 4K going from the projector. CRAZY!

Kevin

Crazy indeed, can't wait to see it on my own eyes.

It's great to have a new distribution Codec, and even better when it's low bitrate. But how does it compare to DCP?
I was very sceptical when R3D was announced and the bitrate RED was proclaiming. And the result was/is amaizing. Hope the new codec has the same magic in it.
Does the Projector have any connectors for use with any standard DCP servers?

Patrick

Yes it is the intent to be able to connect a standard DCP server as an input to the REDray laser projector.

However as the RED RAY codec is so efficient, in our opinion you'll get comparable image quality and significantly better specs - meaning frame size x max frame rate x stereo presentation - from the internal REDray player.

[Stuart English]

Is the redray system going to be available seperately from the laser, and will there be a cheap player only version and software encode for presentation systems, or internet viewing? I'm talking low budget here, and the opportunity as a consumer viewing platform. I'm interested in it's use in kiosk applications.

Absolutely. That's the REDray Player product as opposed to the REDray Projector product.

Kiosk applications are a perfect fit for that.

It all sound fantastic... Quick Q is it possible to sync multiple players together?

Yes you can also do that.

Each REDray player can drive up to four 1080p displays in perfect sync, and because it can accept a standard tri-level sync signal, multiple players can be synced together for large scale video walls.

When Can We order one REDRay 18' edition ???

[indivfx]

2012 i get it. That so cool. But which month? :) Can't wait!!

[Wayne Morellini]

Now for the big questions, how does it work, how does the compression work? I'm interested in comparing it to my decade old technology ideas.

Thanks Stuart, and thanks Red.

Jimmie crickets, I hear crickets. :-)

[Michael Stone]

Yes it supports downscaling from 4K to 1080p.

Or it can be used to deliver and play back four synchronized 1080p signals for digital signage applications.

A related question, just because I haven't seen it asked yet.....

How about content going the other way? Will it upscale 1080p to 4k? Or will we need something else for upscaling normal TV/blu-ray movie input?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

So its 2K for each eye in 3D?

4K each eye, simultaneous display!!!!

On the REDray Projector yes it can do that It has an HDMI input for that specific purpose.

Also both REDray Player and REDray projector can decode and then upscale 720p and 1080p .MP4 videos to 4K.

(i.e. dual codec support, for legacy compression format compatibly)

[Jannard]

BTW... while we can upscale 1080P content to play, it looks just like you would expect.
