It's four 1080p panels per Player, but the Player also includes an external Sync input ( RS170A Genlock ) so that will in due course allow us to lock all the video outputs from multiple players to...

A single cable to 4K displays is typically the way they will be connected - certainly that's the way we connect to both the Sony 4K LCD TV and VPL-VW1000 projector.

Absolutely, that's one of the key operational modes. All four will be in perfect sync. You'll need to format your four 1920 x 1080 images into a single 3840 x 2160 image in an application such as...

One function that interface box supports is 3840 x 2160 @ 60 fps. Most other panels are limited to 30fps as they only support 1 active HDMI 1.4 input at a time. So though it requires 4 x HDMI 1.3...

Correct, there is no software based player available for .RED files. Decode requires the REDRAY ASIC.

All of that I can confirm....

Keep sending in the questions guys, but we'l probably wait to provide some answers rather than scatter those throughout the thread.

We'll discuss those subjects in more detail a bit later...

Yes. The Video Processor component of the Crimson projector includes an appropriate dual HD-SDI link.

That's an interesting bunch of assumptions you've made there Vincent.

Then again a 5K RAW 120fps modular camera probably sounds like a pretty scary technical challenge too ...

It's an interesting qustion, but as the internal REDRAY player in the REDRAY Projector (home) or CRIMSON (theatrical) has the same capabilities, there is no point in feeding one from the other.

And so those materials don't go out to DCP now?

Just export to TIFF or DPX .. same as you would for DCP.

That's why we support TIFF and DPX ( as well as .R3D) files as inputs to the RREncoder.

Yes, they can be reasonably good for HDTV viewing at those rates, but that quality is not even close to what's needed for a 40 ft screen.




Prepare to be surprised... at 2.5MB/s its less than...

I'm not intending to pick on anyone, it's normal to offer your experience of what the current industry practice is...

... but this distribution workflow really does change the understood rules of...

Just repeat what I said above...

... I guess that film originated and other non-RED content that we have shown at RED Studios on 40 ft screens from Sony SXRD don't count then.

Andrew, all I can say is boy do you have a suprise coming ....

... you have forgotten the impact of Graeme's magic pixels.

Yes Sir.

Um, you have to connect to the display using the industry standard connector. Even if we had used HD-SDI it wouldn't be any advantage as you'd have to convert ( at extra expense ) to HDMI to connect...

Absolutely, that has been one of our key references; we often play .RED files via a Sony 4K projector onto our 40 ft screen as a QA test.

We can only output what the HDMI format allows us to - i.e. 12-bit 4:2:2 or 8-bit 4:4:4 when we are talking about 4K resolution.

i.e the signal path in the .RED codec is higher resolution than...

Yes that will be availble soon, but iOS support comes first.

Everything above is very reasonable based on past experience, but as for the assumed "trade off" - well you'll just have to come and see for yourself.

Our stated 12-bit 4:2:2 or 8 bit 4:4:4...

There is also a very simple IR remote controller ...

... but 802.11 / Ethernet is clearly where the future lies as it allows full integration with other apects of control / automation.

This unit is the standalone player and can be used in a wide variety of applications. In addition there are two laser projection systems - REDRAY Projector (consumer) and CRIMSON (theatrical); both...
