AatonK, The Perfect Archival Method For Red?

[Manfred Lopez]

I just saw this:

From the website:

"Finally with the AatonK we can see what 4K data looks like on a distribution print. Until now, laser recorder 4K resolution was marginally better than its 2K resolution. But a 4K file shot out on an AatonK looks completely different to a laser recorder, the detail is astounding."


They say that this will be the first time that a TRUE end-to-end 4k workflow will be possible. I wonder how much this thing will cost... but I am already drooling.

Even if the price is the same to own the machine the difference in speed could make the price of a transfer lower regardless.

I'm excited, I guess we'll have to see. A film print is still the best way to finish IMHO.

Agreed, Ian.

Red to Film is such a great option. I know most people don't go there, but it looks great.

Reports out of IBC are stating $600,000 US.
