  • 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 Ray

A 4K copy of Ben-Hur for me, please? Thanks.

And... 1 RED RAY player + RED 4K Projector setup? Thanks again.

Oh, and another 4K copy of Dances With Wolves too. Please?

Thanks. Thank you so much. You're most kind.

Red Ray sounds like the BIG APP that will change many many things. Blu ray was fun while it lasted ....maybe it could continue as a great archive format but REDRAY could be the Cinema (home & public theatre) delivery system. Is this the MONEY maker for RED?... it sure looks like it. I wonder if the codec alone would be viable for VOD transmission?

Go Jannard & team!
 
Redray ON Blu-Ray?

Redray ON Blu-Ray?

This may have already have been said, but since the disc itself would not be proprietary, it'd be pretty cool to have options for burning 25-50 GB of 4K Redcode to a Bluray disc, in addition to the present plan for 9 GB on a DL-DVD...
Think about it... if Redray looks that good on a 9GB disk, just imagine how it would look with 3-6 times the data rate.
 
As far as Sony being the undisputed leader in compression technology Sony is still advocating analog compression schemes like interlace scanning and they call this obsolete technology full high definition. I like to call it for what it really is which is a scrambled picture. Unfortunately the Olympics may be broadcasted in MPEG-2 1080i and not enough bandwidth will be allocated for a decent picture. Sony's attitude of course will be that bad things happen to people that dare to complain when the picture blocks up.

Of course Sony's Blu-Ray movies are in progressive scan because not even the almighty Sony can convince the movie industry to embrace interlace scanning. But Red-Ray will allow 4k movie broadcasting or 2k sports broadcasting without taking up too much bandwidth.

Being broadcast in MPEG-2 does not necessarily mean MPEG-2 compression. MPEG-2 transport scheme can carry many different types of compressions (it is just a wrapper, say like a Quicktime/AVI file wrapper), and can and does carry compression other than MPEG-2.

MPEG-2 transport layer is different than MPEG-2 compression.

True, but at least in the US, the Olympics will be broadcast in 1080i using MPEG-2 compression (with too few bits to do a decent job)

So you can have 4K cinema projection of most movies from a single dual-layer DVD?

How much 2K time can you get?

Wouldn't it equate to something like 4x as much material?
