  • 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 :)

REDray Projector..

"Only" 15'...? This is 180 inch right ? I guess this is for a 16x9 screen. With an anamorphic lense, could we go a bit furter without loosing too much light ?
By scalable, i guess you mean that light bulb is modular ?

The starting price projector goes to 15' - not sure who told me last night but you can add more laser pumps as your
Screen size and distance increases... Up to 40K for large venues still about 1/3 the cost of a Christie :p

Just getting started is right ... Awesome party last night thanks guys!
 
Still, pity it was not 15 meters. How bright will it be at that distance if I turn down the light?
 
You just add Laser boxes to go up in brightness or go up in size... modular.
 
Jarred can i Beta Test one of the Projector's :ihih: I could Ready test it to the limit
 
Hey Jarred what is the Tech Behind the projector. DLP LCOS Scanning. Also would like to know Contrast ratio Etc.

That's really great... When are you doing your world tour with it ? We're really waiting for this projector for our Chinese customers...
 
So is RED hoping to appeal to the new digital cinema initiative that Hollywood is imposing? There have been so many articles as of late about how many small theaters in America are going to close because they can't afford the $100k to upgrade their 35mm prints to DCI-approved DCP projectors? Is this something RED is looking at? Which means I'm asking if RED is going to attempt to get this projector DCI approved? http://www.dcimovies.com/

I'm on the board of directors for a small art theater in Champaign-Urbana called the Art Theater that is transitioning to a co-op and I happen to be on the committee to explore and purchase our new DCP projector before the end of the year. Obviously, Hollywood has strict rules about digital distribution for cinemas, so I'm wondering if RED is planning on approaching this market, or is this projector intended for a different market than that (ie. Home)?
 
The demo has a PL mount on it and what looks like a 50mm RPP!
 
Is anyone floored by the fact we can now view 4K for under 10K? I don't know of any monitors that can do that. This is what I mean by Red bringing 4K to the masses -seeing is believing and people are going to be blown away by this. Absolutely a brilliant move!

Now, how do we encode to an SSD so we can insert the media into said RedRay & Projector?
 
Yep -us too. Very much would love to get our hands on this, or a beta unit any time -especially as we're heading into onlining my feature Path Of Souls, which is meant to have a 4K release from our distributor! I wasn't expecting them to do this but they said since we shot in 5K it would be silly to release the film in just 2K. Seems like they've made a wise decision!
 
+1 on the DCI approved? question. I'm personally interested by having this projector for our grading suite, if it does DCI space/gamut. But this could be targeted also to theater sthis would be soooo good for them.
And imagine grading movies on the same projector than the theaters will have .... no more LUT ;-)
 
I'll take two. NOW! Wowzwer, 2012 will be a blowout year! Y'all keep me smiling, Red.

Even to IMAX?

With 6k cameras coming, will IMAX become the new 1080p?
