  • 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..

Different hyphen placement. There was a company called HDI that was doing a laser-based projector.

Hmmm....

Not sure there's any real connection. It seems that HDI announced their laser projector(s) about the same time that RED did. And forgive me, as I just did a few minutes of online sleuthing so may have missed it, but it seems that their web site has been down since late last year. And even as late as august of last year, this HDI company couldn't produce anything more than a couple very crappy looking product renders. They apparently also announced a laser-based TV previously and never managed to show even a physical mock-up, let alone a functional product.
 
I definitely believe RED scooped up HDI 3D. Their laser projector specs closely mirror RED's. There is a great thread about the REDray Projector on the AVS Forums where people have speculated and analyzed between the two.
 
I know I asked this before.. but didn't see a response. Is there any chance of RED coming to Infocomm? I looked at the exhibitors list and didn't see your company name on there.

Well for any digital display device (not an analog system such as CRT) you can assume 1 or 2 frames of processing.

Which is why you slip the audio on the playback device - or feed through an audio delay unit - to compensate for that.

Yeah, true, but that's why I try to keep latency down, to be able to edit without delay. It's the "working at the speed of thought". Like the difference now between Avid and Premiere, Avid is cool and all but there is so much latency when editing, not just in playback but in moving/trimming etc. Premiere is super fast. It's the feel and flow.
So we might be expecting 1-2 frames delay on this as well I presume?
 
I noticed that the REDray has HDMI 1.4 inputs. I know HDMI 1.4 can do 4K so it's a natural choice, but what about DVI/SDI, etc.? I ask because thus far most "pro" equipment has focused on the latter two. Also, while building a system to run Resolve, I would need to know what kind of cards to install for 4K playback over the connections that the REDray/projector will support.

I would personally prefer HDMI because of the A/V both in one cable and the fact that it can also be used with high-end home theater equipment (our screening room is also connected to a AV processor for Blu-rays, etc.).

Any thoughts?

No plans to attend this year. But it's a good suggestion.

No DVI support - external inputs illustrated at NAB were HD-SDI and HDMI.

But the REDray projector system could accommodate a wide variety of options over time with different modules.
 
Stuart , would e possible know which kind of functions will me missing ?
I am sure many of us is thinking to buy this projector to do color
Correction for project that will be distributed as DCP ...
So I guess we want to know if this projector will not be suitable for that purpose ...

For example : XYZ input ? What else ?

Thanks a lot

Probably link encryption and possibly support for subtitling. That would be on the projector side, Red has not said much about what the server will or will not support.

That use case is fine Gabriele. We can restrict our native color space to REC709 or P3 / XYZ for those applications.

thanks stuart ,
to make sure : it does FULLY cover P3 color space ?
many many display have the P3 color space settings : gamut , white point etc... but not necessarily mean that they cover the P3 color space ...

i guess start if clover P3 and accept XYZ dual link full range , from a tech specs point of view should be suitable for color correction ...


PS: has the issue from NAB (ghosting and only 2K ) been fixed ? Does the Projector work properly in 2D 4K ?

thanks

That's true, but in our case we do. A significant advantage of lasers.
