    These were shot on 65 mm film at 50 fps, digitized to 2160p/50 and further down-sampled to 1080p/50, 720p/50 and 1080i/25.
    EBU Test @IBC 2006.

    RED one footage can be used for EBU as a master to HD ( 4k to anything )

    I did not know there was a 65mm film. Is there?
    The whole film was shot at 50 FPS?
    usually 50 FPS is for slow motion.
    I am still trying to understand the thread.

    apparently there is!

    from wikipedia

    70 mm film (or 65 mm film) is a wide high-resolution film gauge, of superior quality to standard 35 mm motion picture film format. As used in camera, the film is 65 mm wide; for projection 2.5 mm are added along each outer side of the perforations for magnetic strips holding six tracks of surround sound, although more recent 70 mm prints now use digital sound encoding; however, the vast majority of 70 mm prints predate this technology. Each frame is five perforations tall, with an aspect ratio of 2.20.

    HDNET ordered a dozen or so REDs to use for their content which also makes it onto HD media formats but for most broadcasters, RED is not really of any interest yet since they don't release stuff on physical media and RED has yet to become a viable option for them over their existing equipment.
