hello all,
Today I was able to see and test the new Sony 4K projector vpl-vw1000es, a beautiful projector in upscaling bluray,and all 1080p signal :scared:. Unfortunately we could not see any content 4k:mellow:. The problem is this only has an HDMI port, you can use the RED rocket and let out the 4k video signal from a single DVI port?
I read that the HDMI ATOMIX can get out of a single port, some of you have tried?
I would like to use this projector for a small room of color correction.
Thanks await your answers.


 
does anyone know a company that can make a converter from 4 HD-SDI output to 1 HDMI 4k?

A german company called DVS apparently makes a board called the "Atomix HDMI" that has at least one HDMI 1.4a port which is able to output 4k through the one hdmi port. http://www.dvs.de/products/video-boards/atomix-hdmi/atomix-hdmi/key-features.html

Ciao Gabriele.
For the moment nothing, I made a shout with various projectors in Milan. With AVMAGAZINE Italy.
This sony is really amazing. The representative of Sony, has assured me that will come out by the end of summer, a black box 4 hd-sdi to HDMI 1.
This will ensure full compatibility. Not content, I also tried to connect the host to the new ATI 7970 output to 4k 24p but it works :yesnod: , just nothing 50 or 60.
Gabriele However there were also several colorists, all very interested in this projector small and faithful, me toooooo ;)

thankss
Luigi

ciao luigi..
wow .... AV Magazine...i was used to read that all the time when was leaving in italy .... :) (bit of nostalgia )...

Weird that sony will come up with that converter Box at the end of the summer ...i mean , they launched a projector with no way to feed it @ 4K ?
what is the maxim frame rate that the projector would accept @ 4K ?

PS:How does the big sony (the one for theater ) get the 4K signal ? SDI ?

thanks!

in fact,
and thinks it is still not sure, given that this projector home cinema does not enter the professional sector, so most home users do not have a redrocket or BM 4K with 4 hd-sdi or dvi.
The Playstation will have a new firmware for 4k, but only for pictures.
There will Bluray player that will upscale from 1080 to 4k.
I tried the 24p and 25p to 30p I had some problems, but I have not had time to touch the parameters so I can not tell for sure.
For the theater is Barco, Christie and Sony have 4 separate entrances hd-sdi or 4 DVI.
I hope that some other companies do some hd-sdi converter 4 to 1 hdmi :)
 
I actually have the Red Rocket Breakout Box (yes, I'm the one;-) which has 4 HDMI spigots, presumably designed to feed the four quadrants of a 4K device.

Open question to RED (seems like Stuart's bailiwick) Can the RR BOB be configured to feed a signal over one of the HDMI ports that the Sony ES-1000 could handle?
