RED party reel powered by RED RAY

[Justin O'Neill]

A standard def DVD is usually around 5-8mb/s. RED Ray is outputting 4k at just a slightly higher data rate.

Bad ass.

[Chuck Z]

Okay, now I really need a visual demonstration.

[Pawel Achtel]

No, that would be a pretty accurate summary.

Or as Ted said "less than half the bit rate of standard definition mini-DV"

Wholly smoke! Do you know the significance of this?! Well, I guess you do

Seriously, it is technically possible because, at higher resolutions, the compression is more efficient. The quality does not scale linear to pixel count. Additionally, wavelet compression is much more efficient than MPEG-2 that Sony was champoionning for the last 20 years and holds about 150 related patents dragging the whole industry backwards two decades. Besides, the Blue Ray, is also based on the obsoleted MPEG-2 so that Sony could collect royalties....

Anyway, very impressive result.

Pawel are you there? Did you see it?

Pawel are you there? Did you see it?

No, I wish I could. But, I can believe the results :)

Have you seen the link to the live stream? It was posted in another thread...

Keep an eye on this for later...

thanks for the link... watching now!
Image ain't so great and keeps freezing, but at least the audio is coming through...

We need to hear "3rd party" opinions on how it looks

About to run the uncompressed (~ 800MB/s) and RED RAY (~ 10Mb/s) reels one more time...

1 MB = 8 Mb

[Roberto Lequeux]

Yea, but get people to post too. :)

[Chris Swinbanks]

almost as much fun trying to make sense of the "chat".....
