15' is still a nice size in a small grading suite. Hell, it's great for home use too!

So is RED hoping to appeal to the new digital cinema initiative that Hollywood is imposing? There have been so many articles as of late about how many small theaters in America are going to close because they can't afford the $100k to upgrade their 35mm prints to DCI-approved DCP projectors? Is this something RED is looking at? Which means I'm asking if RED is going to attempt to get this projector DCI approved? http://www.dcimovies.com/
I'm on the board of directors for a small art theater in Champaign-Urbana called the Art Theater that is transitioning to a co-op and I happen to be on the committee to explore and purchase our new DCP projector before the end of the year. Obviously, Hollywood has strict rules about digital distribution for cinemas, so I'm wondering if RED is planning on approaching this market, or is this projector intended for a different market than that (ie. Home)?
The demo has a PL mount on it and what looks like a 50mm RPP!
Is anyone floored by the fact we can now view 4K for under 10K? I don't know of any monitors that can do that. This is what I mean by Red bringing 4K to the masses -seeing is believing and people are going to be blown away by this. Absolutely a brilliant move!
Now, how do we encode to an SSD so we can insert the media into said RedRay & Projector?
Yep -us too. Very much would love to get our hands on this, or a beta unit any time -especially as we're heading into onlining my feature Path Of Souls, which is meant to have a 4K release from our distributor! I wasn't expecting them to do this but they said since we shot in 5K it would be silly to release the film in just 2K. Seems like they've made a wise decision!
+1 on the DCI approved? question. I'm personally interested by having this projector for our grading suite, if it does DCI space/gamut. But this could be targeted also to theater sthis would be soooo good for them.
And imagine grading movies on the same projector than the theaters will have .... no more LUT ;-)
Modular and upgradable. Sweet. Totally on my list to buy.
I'll take two. NOW! Wowzwer, 2012 will be a blowout year! Y'all keep me smiling, Red.
