about the RED Laser Projector... seriously. Epic and Scarlet Cameras are the bomb... and yet I just can't wait to see this kit.

Very excited! Saving up for it already.
I'm very excited. If powerful enough, I'm more excited about the potential for what it could mean for theaters.

Hopefully, it won't be back-ordered...heee!
I have our baselight suite ready to go and the money set aside. Itching to trigger that order, hopefully soon since we are holding back other stuff due to this. ( I know its a bad idea to plan around red-release-dates, but i have faith they are upping their game regarding this.)
I'm looking forward to being able to show DOPs 4K footage over HD, Alexa and RED look very similar on a 17" monitor. If I was based in Hollywood I would be able to convince DOPs to switch to RED by taking them to Red studios and showing them the difference. This projector will help me massively.
The one-two whammy has to be Red Ray Pro and Red Projector...certainly yes one can playout 4K from whichever system the projector might get attached to, but having a 4K master or copies of dailies on some manner of SSD makes this portable...I'm hugely excited by the prospect of being able to affordably master to 4K, then show it in 4K -affordably.
This is key, especially when seeing is believing, and if more people can be exposed to 4K then it will become the defacto standard even quicker than we expect, and I'm sure that's music to Jim's ears!
...and I thought it might be interesting to dovetail this discussion into this link:

Resolution on a large scale is what is driving Imax. That can only bode well for RedUsers...
Who owns the biggest theatre chain(s) in NA? Something tells me moneyhats would need to be involved for them to drop whatever projector's they're currently using and swap to RED laser... Also, without a proven track record (which RED doesn't really have in the projector market) I don't think commercial use (mainstream theatrical viability) would be considered for at least a few years. Projectors in theatres have to run for 6-8 hours a day with at least some proven reliability... In other words, it'll probably take quite a bit of time.
