RED RAY PRO PLAYER - 4K server - ALIVE!!

[Mark L. Pederson]

After everyone left the RED DAY / Reduser Party Vegas 2010 last night - Jim invited a few of us to into the main presentation room for a special treat.

We got see a working unit of the RED RAY PRO PLAYER - plugged directly into the Sony 4K projector - power up and play the RED Mysterium-X reel in full 4K onto the big screen!

I own a Dolby server and we screen 2K DCPs constantly at OFFHOLLYWOOD and I have to say .... the writing is on the wall.

I don't think I can really say anything else - except - specs and features are amazing and much more powerful and WAY BEYOND current DCP servers - and of course .... YES to 3D.

Mark my words - EVERY THEATRE with a 4K projector is going to have one of these 4K servers.

Cameras, lens, lights, media servers... that is a badass chain.

I have to say its one of the things that excite me just as much as Epic. A real game changer for a lot of people.

Great news Mark!!!

Better RED than (projecting with) the dead.

This is why they call them movies... cause everything is (will be) moveable?

I think so too Mark. I asked Jim at IBC if he intended Red Ray to be a serious challenge to the DCI spec and current DCP creation tools and he said 'yes'. This can't happen fast enough imho!

YES!!!!!!!!

been beating my head against a clipster for the past day making a DCP for someone....

in other news is CROPSEY 4K?

[Steven Caesare]

The exhibition market (both public and private) has to be several orders of magnitude larger than the acquisition market.

I suspect that Red Ray Pro (and it's smaller sibling) have the potential to even larger impact technologies than the cameras.

Bring it!

in other news is CROPSEY 4K?

I wish! Very happy Cropsey just got a limited theatrical release - but that doc was actually shot on SD & HD - before RED ONE shipped cameras. Just goes to show you how long it can take to get a release - future proofing by shooting in 4K + is rather logical ...
