  • 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 :)

Some new information came out about the apple system, mid 2012 glasses free, directionalscreen as I guessed.

This is interesting, we know Apple looks into many things and makes alternative arrangements, and can have multiple comoeting solutions going at any one time, so something that might be coming or is commimg, can be cancelled and replaced months latter. Apple actually did reject oled for some reasons. This is probably behind a lot of greivences about hot air about vapor ware. So it may well be possible. It is interesting to note the tilt down display hing used, something I wanted to use, and now apple has a related patent on it for next year, we assume for the rumored tilt down I Mac :) . I think I remotely remember something about Sony working on something, There are many options Sid, carbon nano tubes, spinning microcyrstal etc, and even I have come up with a few.

Remember the mit technology, says a lot about potential direction doesn't it.

Nice finds today, http://www.oled-info.com/apple-files-patent-discussing-oled-backlighting-unit-or-two-lcd-display. These people should realise that efficient oled lighting have been achieved in lab aiming for 100% maybe, probably read it there years ago. If such thing is taken out of lab, them there is advantage, however, dividing it up into pixels might not be suitable for the technology. People are used to fluorescent lights now and getting used to oleds, but now have to look out for oled lighting :) . Blue phase LCD technology might be a suitable low cost to perfirnance technology to combine with this, which might explain Apples Luke warm liking for old (unfortunately).

What does all this have to do with Red, what else are you going to do your 4k editing on and in 3d, and who has been pretty freindly with Apple.
 
Forgot, if they are planning a later Oled tv release, and Red projection is related to Apple projection , what comes before, I Mac or 3d projection. Jim?
 
would love more info on this.

What type of system is this using DLP, LCOS REDCOS :)

Is it Laser Light driven?
What is the input Lag?
What type of 3D Polarization are you using?
Or are you using the Dolby 3D?
Extinction Ratio? (Don't want Ghosting/Crosstalk)
 
Is there a modest version in the works - one that the small indie might use for post? Or is this large operations and theatre projection only? Like, is there a Scarlet user version, man?

A lot of us are banking on the answer being a resounding YES. under $10K would be incredible but under $50K would also be doable for a 4K, grading quality, projector.

It could be done for less than a $1000.
 
Wireless chips and delivery costs

Wireless chips and delivery costs

That's interesting, but the economic "elephant in the room" is the $ / MB cost of delivering data across the internet.

The only thing really missing is an affordable 4K Monitor for color correction and editing. Projectors are fantastic but for everyday editing and correction a 30" + monitor would really help.

Yes, a 4K monitor for editing and cc!!! I mean, really, how many of us work on 4k projects without having the ability to do any real time monitoring in 4K? If RED were indeed to hit the market with a 4K monitor, and set the price tag in the same spirit they've done with 4K/5K FF RAW digital cameras the impact would be huge. Besides the majority of production facilities, all RED ONE/EPIC/SCARLET owners, I see medical/educational and all other kinds of organizations (as mentioned previously) buing them by dozens. I would probably get two, one for monitoring and the other one never to hit alt+tab again ))
 
You can go to the store now and buy she TVs now below $10k. Some claim they are 4k but I don't know if any of the consumer sets actually do that. Should be time to look out for shd+ monitors now. The industry have the ability to do uhd, so shd is long overdue. Laser vue shd would be nice.
 
Problem with Laser display certification.

Problem with Laser display certification.

Have spoken to my contact, and apparently we don't have laser TV's in this country because of concerns that damage to the screen will let laser light through concentrated, that they use class 4 lasers. Details are a bit sketchy and maybe he, or the regulators, don't fully know what they are talking about. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety. A class 2 beam spot is more than enough, even a class 1 indoors. The other point is that a normal Hugh powered home theater projector is dangerous as it is. The narrow banding of laser light uses less power, but the spot focysing of the eye increases risk. It is a shame that in the country that invented the modern laser display it is not sold.

This raises a concern, if regulators will not accept a concealed laser display, will they accept a more powerful home theater laser ptojector, like the red, in some countries? Some of us may never get one in some markets.

I originally abandoned plans for a laser display based video game years ago due to safety concerns with kids. But latter I designed solutions for all these concerns, and my system probably is safer than either of these.

CDN's charge as little as 10 cents (or less) per GB in bulk. Not the dollar per GB in overage fees my ISP charges.
$0.47 to deliver a DVD is cheap.
