Is Sony Jealous?

[Michael Thornton]

Yes, it's a true 3.75k display The 4 panes you sometimes see are due to the 4 HD-SDI inputs. Although I have seen calibration issues across the panes of the display.

This mean it's really 3840x2160 right?

That is not 4096 right?

Nah, I got it wrong, it's 4096 x 2160, but that's still short of the 4098x2304 for 4k 16:9. That means you've got to go down to 3.8k to squeeze in the full height of 16:9 or crop though. I dunno why they missed those extra pixels off...

My understanding is that Sony's 4k projector is 1:85:1

I just shot something for Sony on Red. It felt good. My only real bitterness for Sony involves their minidisc recorders and some overly protective measures they took to prevent you from copying stuff off of the discs though.

I think you mean 4096x2304, unless Red have missed 2 pixels off the width also

It doesn't matter who is exactly right with the technical details... it matters who provides a great image and offers a digital workflow equivalent to 4K that will be established as the leader of new digital cinema.

A little bit stupid

A little bit stupid

The Sony rep was likely a typical Sony Rep a little bit stupid in what he said when put on the spot. Equally Graeme its a little bit stupid nit picking the Sony 4K projector at least they are trying to develop one. Sony produce a diverse range of products at multi price levels and all those that deride them here likely have a Sony product in their homes!
Will they make a 4K camera or 5K absolutely they have been around a long time and are not about to leave the stage.
