  • 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 :)

RED party reel powered by RED RAY

Pawel, I really don't know what Sony ever did to you to cause you to hate them this much, but the fact is that MPEG2 is only one codec that is part of the BluRay spec, and not even the most popular. Most commercial BluRay discs use either AVC (aka H.264, aka MPEG4) or VC1 (aka Windows Media 9).

Have you tried mastering and printing Blue Ray discs? How much was it? How much of this goes to Sony? :angry:

What the spec is and what the players play are also two different things.
 
Michael this is slightly off topic, but can i ask you... email you a question about red di using baselight. been having major trouble for some reason in this di facility red material loses all blacks and so on
 
Of course. I have a lot of answers & experience with DI in general and specifically with Baselight.

Forget blue ray.

This makes 1080p streaming over current internet connections possible.

This will kill physical media.

YEA.. in this case Jim would sell Red Ray modules to HP and so on shipping one to every single PC out there... law of large numbers. Or a little card capable of decoding a 1080p with lots of marketing.
 
REDRAY - Great looking 4k movies at absurdly low bit rates.

Had the same idea, but I think you'd need a decoder/endcoder on the server- and client-side. But anyway in less than two years we'll have LTE mobile broadband and blu ray will be obsolete not much later. I think that's one reason why Apple don't like that media.
 
We'll fill in more details on REDRAY as we go along. What you saw tonight was a technology demonstration to show that 4k image quality is obtainable at practically impossible, or at the very least highly improbable data rates.

With anything visual like this, the proof is in the pudding. I didn't know Ted was going to show the REDRAY demo at that first showing, so when I saw it, I didn't know if it was through the REDRAY codec or not. I could not tell.

Seriously.

It was fantastic to see you all at the event this evening and I look forwards to seeing you all again, and showing you whatever we come up with next!

We screened two reels tonight - one was Red 300 (debuted last September at IBC) and the new Red 400 (finished at like 3AM Friday morning).

The Red 400 original files were mastered as 16bit TIFFs (4096x2304), roughly 51MBs per frame. That's an uncompressed data rate of 1.3GBs per second.

The Red 300 was mastered as 10bit DPX (4096x2048) at roughly 32MBs per frame or about 750MBs per second.

We screened the uncompressed version of the Red 400 (scaled to 3840x2160) and followed it with the RedRay encoded Red 300.

Here is the mind-bender:
The Red 400 total file size is roughly 320GBs
The Red 300 total file size is roughly 450MBs

The secret obviously lies in the power of wavlets when put in the hands a dedicated and talented team. I edited and supervised the 4K DIs on both those reels and I was astonished at the quality of the high frequency compression response. Even if there was visible compression in the low frequency (none of us were happy with the projection tonight, but then again, we were in a ballroom...) who cares at a 700x StuffIt!!

Amazing!!!
 
so the missing piece is the projector for under 5K ... any takers
 
REDray was the extra major surprise.

It was a great event and we appreciate all the hard work that went into tonight. We were really impressed with all the other RED supporters that participated. Lots of incredibly cool stuff.

We really liked this format for future gatherings. The community spirit was unreal.

question: is REDray only for 4k and up or can it do lower (i.e. 1080p, 2k, 3k)?? with really sickly low bitrates
 
But I am not sure about what would sell in large numbers, and I am sure that is what will dictate what this is applied to.

However, if it can decode 4k 24fps then it should be able to handle 1080 60fps.

I am sure we'll find out more soon, as soon as Jim gets some sleep. :)
