[Mark L. Pederson]

Shipping in October. No price yet. Stay tuned ...

[Tom Lowe]

pics and price are needed.

[Roberto Lequeux]

If they are color critical then winning the lotto might also be needed :(

[Craig Ryan]

What flavor of 4k are we talking here?

[Tom Lowe]

Updates?

Even if this was something that you could RENT for a month for projects or whatever, it would be great. I guess you might need to rent a graphics card, too. :sifone:

and something that can actually play 4k

[Tom Lowe]

Well an i7 machine should be able to play compressed 4K, right, assuming you had a graphics card that could do it, in terms of spatial resolution?

[Greg M]

not sure about 4K...think it is only 2K half

[Roberto Lequeux]

Enter Red Ray

Stop trying to find an excuse to rent SLI'ed 295s to play COD5 guys :)

[Tom Lowe]

as i have stated many times, roberto, i will not invest in any computer equipment that cannot also be used for pawning noobs. :sifone::gun:

[Roberto Lequeux]

Red, get on with it and make Red Ray include amongst it long list of features the ability to function as a killer gaming console.

BTW, I suspect that it is not by chance that the Red mote looks like a controller. ROFL!!!

[Mark L. Pederson]

3.8K - 16x9 - "quad HD"

image and color are STUNNING

[Tom Lowe]

Mark is this aimed at the big-buck production crowd, or kind of aimed at prosumers as well?

I suspect Sony will F it up and make it $30K or something - but remember - all the new tech like this starts high. Look at LCD production panels, etc.

[Matt Gottshalk]

And just where did Sony get 4K footage from? :head_explode:

[Jason Murphy]

Clearly, it was from some sort jerry-rigged array involving 4 F35's. :thumbsup:

[futurereduser]

Mark what was the Screen size?

[GlennChan]

I believe Sony and Astro were showing 4K screens last year (ditto for NHK as part of their ultra highdef).

You could also buy 4k (as in quad HD) computer monitors off ebay. Those were like $4k or something like that.

Uh... you mean like the old Sony Luma displays?

(They were a joke. The new ones are much, much better.)

I've heard rumours of this new format. It somehow involves silver and toxic chemicals. Sounds expensive and dangerous.:sifone:

:rofl:

that was hilarious!

My guess is that they are thinking about multi-cam workflows or they gave up and started supporting Red's expansion.

[Petr Dvorak]

In the DVS booth they have a 4K ($30,000) monitor playing back full rez R3D files in real time. Looks great. Four SDI links coming from the clipster hardware to the monitor. The clipster seems like a nice product. Monitor is made by someone like eyeview or something.

It seems that thing might be getting it's input from a Red Rocket then :)

[David Birdy]

I was in the NAB content Theater to view the 4K Sony Tuesday...
Unbelievable images from both film & CG...Alaskan Polar bears, Baby in the Womb-Birthing/Images from the moon....WOW...Simply stunning..
Anyone at the NAB can get a Free Ticket to the content Theater and view the Sony 4K.

The Epic is going to look great on the Sony 4K!!!

[Tom Lowe]

can we get some pics of this baby??

[Meryem Ersoz]

here's a picture, Tom, it isn't much too look at, but it shows that they are working on it.

[Tom Lowe]

very nice! man, something that size, with that resolution, would be absolutely amazing to have for an editing or gaming PC!!

[Curran Giddens]

yeah. I might have to start playing games....

[Roberto Lequeux]

Hehe... but Tom is pissed cause it seems Red Rocket won't run DirectX10

Is there a list of all 4k monitors being shown at NAB?

[Petr Dvorak]

How it compare to Astro?
