Hi all
So let's say I'd want to show 4K in full glory on a big screen, what are my options at present? Projectors? Players? Not counting Redray since it is not here yet, and not YouTube. And what codec/compression would those players handle?
Thanks for any insights.

I saw Silverado has a Sony 4K projector for like $22K (not including bulb, lens, input cards, screen). Connect to a Mac Pro with Red Rocket and Red Rocket Breakout Box and you can play .R3D's in 4K!

Thanks Curran. Playing out the R3D's like that is only limited to when working on the project right? Or is it possible to use a MacPro with Red Rocket Breakout Box as a player for final 4K videos with audio as well?

Thats what the redray is for unfortunatly.Originally Posted by Henk van den Doel

And there are no alternatives to it for now?
What tools/players are used to display 4K in cinemas at the moment? And can these be rented somewhere on the planet?

Yes there are 4k DCP servers that are on the market. Most 2k DCP servers can be upgraded and some 2k projectors can be upgraded.
Its quite a large investment though, and I don't know if many places rent them.

These guys would be happy to give you some options I'd say.

How about the nVidia Quadro Plex?

You can hook this up to a PC with fast RAID to play 4K.

That looks very interesting! Is it transparent or does code need to be written specifically to take advantage of it? Price is very tempting also.
