An interesting thing, is this 4K RED RAY thing, interesting indeed. No confirmed Specifications as yet and only a proposed release in 2009 – which was changed from Early 2009 to just 2009 (meaning what, I do not know).
This is what RED has to say:
- PLAYS 4K, 2K, 1080P, 720P AND SD FROM RED DISC AND RED EXPRESS
- ALSO PLAYS NATIVE RAW R3D FILES FROM COMPACT FLASH
Now wouldn’t this be a nice thing to have for the OpenCut competition, nice indeed.
I just wonder what will make this different from a Blu-Ray player? Ok maybe the 4K part and the native support for the RED Codecs. But could I not just copy those files onto a normal Blu-Ray and use software on the computer to play/read the data. And surely it would be better to use a high speed RAID setup than an optical disk drive?
