REDray Projector..

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Different hyphen placement. There was a company called HDI that was doing a laser-based projector.

Hmmm....

Not sure there's any real connection. It seems that HDI announced their laser projector(s) about the same time that RED did. And forgive me, as I just did a few minutes of online sleuthing so may have missed it, but it seems that their web site has been down since late last year. And even as late as august of last year, this HDI company couldn't produce anything more than a couple very crappy looking product renders. They apparently also announced a laser-based TV previously and never managed to show even a physical mock-up, let alone a functional product.

I definitely believe RED scooped up HDI 3D. Their laser projector specs closely mirror RED's. There is a great thread about the REDray Projector on the AVS Forums where people have speculated and analyzed between the two.

I know I asked this before.. but didn't see a response. Is there any chance of RED coming to Infocomm? I looked at the exhibitors list and didn't see your company name on there.

Well for any digital display device (not an analog system such as CRT) you can assume 1 or 2 frames of processing.

Which is why you slip the audio on the playback device - or feed through an audio delay unit - to compensate for that.

Yeah, true, but that's why I try to keep latency down, to be able to edit without delay. It's the "working at the speed of thought". Like the difference now between Avid and Premiere, Avid is cool and all but there is so much latency when editing, not just in playback but in moving/trimming etc. Premiere is super fast. It's the feel and flow.
So we might be expecting 1-2 frames delay on this as well I presume?

I noticed that the REDray has HDMI 1.4 inputs. I know HDMI 1.4 can do 4K so it's a natural choice, but what about DVI/SDI, etc.? I ask because thus far most "pro" equipment has focused on the latter two. Also, while building a system to run Resolve, I would need to know what kind of cards to install for 4K playback over the connections that the REDray/projector will support.

I would personally prefer HDMI because of the A/V both in one cable and the fact that it can also be used with high-end home theater equipment (our screening room is also connected to a AV processor for Blu-rays, etc.).

Any thoughts?

The blessing and the curse of HDMI. Thunderbolt/Display Port - save ussssssssssssssss....................

No plans to attend this year. But it's a good suggestion.

No DVI support - external inputs illustrated at NAB were HD-SDI and HDMI.

But the REDray projector system could accommodate a wide variety of options over time with different modules.

variety of options over time with different modules.

I don't know why the word "modules" makes me shiver...
