Display Options For 4k Red-ray

Torrey Loomis said:
JVC got back to me. The press releases stating the projector was $15,000 were missing an extra '0'

Retail is around $150,000 without lens.

Missing an extra '0'

Thats the best I've heard in a long time. How can they just miss a '0'?

Oh wellmove on the next solution!

Thanks for that Torrey!
 
I think it was one of the news services that screwed up. The original JVC press release didn't mention pricing at all:

Wait wait, 150.000$ and 8-bit?! Or is it more than 8-bit?
 
I need a fix...

I need a fix...

My name is Blair P. and I am a 4K-aholic. In a sense my business is all about being the equivalent of a 4K "street pusher", convinced that once people see proper 4K they will be hooked too, and I can be their local supplier :biggrin:.

Yes, I realize that oversampling at acquisition to create clean 2K/1080 is the short term target for 4K Bayer CFA tech. Maybe I have spent too much time looking at the 4K projection at RED Studios.

With the 5K EPICs just inches from our grasp the time for 4K displays is upon us. Trying to sell clients on the power of 4K without being able to show it to them is getting old.

If, in fact, volume is the only way to drive down unit cost, then, AFAIK, the only company on the planet for whom ordering enough units makes sense is RED. Moreover, RED has the other unusual and necessary quality - it is privately held and operated by a guy with deep pockets and great vision (not to mention passion, leadership, integrity, humanity...).

Jim has suggested in his posts that Epson might be our savior. I hope so. I really, really do.

Maybe this will be the year of 4K for everyone else. Like to see a new version of FCP push out 4K through DVS Atomix cards to native 4K displays...

I hate to be skeptical, because it just gets too much if you have to do too much of it, but I hope it is different from the Epson back projected LCD panels I have previously seen. Last time I looked into these sorts of projectors there were big problems, one being discoloration with aging, other panels were better. There are a number of manufacturers in china that could do a cheap SHD unit, by combining the light from full hd units unit through a prism (think of the original Olympus SHD camera for inspiration, though different prism).

There are many ways to make things happen, as long as you have money and there aren't other customers/suppliers/potential interrupting.
 
Toshiba article :) . Looks like they have stumbled onto a similar 3D analysis concept to some that I came up with years ago, Intel came up with another similar one too. I posted one of them over at dvinfo.
 
EYE-LCD 6400-4K by Eyevis

EYE-LCD 6400-4K by Eyevis

Hi,

You're missing the EYE-LCD 6400-4K by German Company Eyevis. 64", Full 4k (4096x2160), but only 8 bit. Nice in general but not the best black levels. This one also seems to be more intended for signage, visualization and security markets than postproduction but it does come with a cool processing unit to feed it any type of signal without (too much) degradation.

I quoted it with the mexican distributor and he said USD$55,000. Interesting, no?

Sony SRML560

Sony SRML560

It seems like you're also missing the SRML560 by Sony. 56", Quad-HD, 12 bit processing and a retail price somewhere around USD$80,000.

From the webpage:

"The SRM-L560 incorporates an exclusively designed panel that follows the Trimaster criterion - featuring a 56 inch screen, 3.8K resolution with 10-bit LCD driver technology. The backlight system is a highly stable LED system which allows wide gamut color display. The signal processing engine in the SRM-L560 is a full 12 bit process which can work in Y Pb Pr, RGB and XYZ color processes."

So, it seems like (what Sony would call) a true CRT replacement. Nice, no?

What do you guys think?

Looks okay - I still think that the company that comes out with the first true affordable true 4k monitor / projector will win. E.g. $10k x 10,000 units = $100m - and that's just the RED community :-)

Hey I didnt know if you guys knew about this already. It is sort of cheating in the sense that its just multiple monitors put together, but you can totally get these for soooo much cheaper than anything else I see around. Its like the rule of thirds, all the time...
