  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Enough "K" already!

Seriously guys! 9K?! That's just too many K. Stop it. Too much K. Just stop. I'm serious.
 
ok, ok. 28K? Christ. Seriously. That much K is enough to make me flip my lid. So stop it. I need my lid firmly attached please. Thank you.

Well 4k isn't 4k... it's 3.2k... The filtering cause the resolution to drop by about 20%. So 5k = 4k.... 9k = 7.2k. IMax is 10k, so the 9k camera is meant as a digital IMAX cam. 28k (maybe different filtering) should be 22.4k

Your fancy numbers are just aimed to confuse me. Well congratulations sir. Now I'm belligerent AND confused. Too many K's that aren't actually K but slightly less K than advertised and .4 = .1.7.8K. and I just found out I was adopted. GREAT!

:tongue:
 
^ He beat me to the punch.

No Seriously...why on earth would you say no more K? Ks are good!

IMAX 10k? In theory maybe but to actually work with it in digital is another thing. I have never heard of any film scans of IMAX done at 10k, ever. For The Dark Knight they were working in 6k and in some cases 4k in VFX. Can't remember what the film output does (8k?). But I think you're quite right about the 9k epic being suitable for IMAX. Now, all we need is......some way to work with it in post!
 
Sure, the optical filtering does lower the measured rez a little, but when you watch RED 4K as 4K, on a nice screen, as I did today, it looks like 4k. It looks superb. I am so impressed with the images you all are making. There's a beautiful smoothness and seemlessness to the images that is just stunning. I can't wait to see what the higher resolutions bring to the image. I can only think of positive things that more resolution will produce.
