Who's Excited?

[Jeremy Torrie]

Sounds just like what Red has done with digital cinema cameras....there will be early embracers, then others will follow.

[Will Keir]

oh you know it will.

Hopefully, it won't be back-ordered...heee!

I Just installed a $1200 xenon lamp in our Barco. The last lamp totally failed at ~800 hours, we get about 6 months of run time if we run till failure, which is not really best practice. Ideally we'd swap lamps after about 400 hours, but $1200 is a big chunk of cash for an indie cinema. My point is that -every- digital cinema has to do this, if i recall correctly the RED laser lamp(led?) will last some orders of magnitude longer than what is currently in standard operation all over the world. The money saved on lamps will pay for the Red projector in as little as 3 years depending on the size of projector it is replacing.... lamps for the early versions of the sony 4K projectors were/are about $2600/set. -if- the projector ends up being DCI compliant 4K and hugely reduced operating costs is a no-brainer

Love to have one, I'm waiting

Pity this was not about redray, or nab, I was going to post that I was not excited, but if Jim released anything excited, that might be subject to "change without notice" ;) .

Still, think about Red ray, and red laser, might be a bit confusing, and think if they had redray and redlaser in one box, with a camera (my freibds suggestion for camera and laser).

Still, bring on those powerfull redray lasers, we can dump them out of airplanes to blind unexpecting enemy troops, and write on them love from Jim, with his address, which is sort of ironic, as they will be too blind to read it and come around ;)
