Yes it was and point of up-scaling was discussed (especially read the hyperlinks for addition info), here…https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...on#post7581588

In a nutshell, if you have access to an excellent up-res tool (which elite post houses do), and an excellent source with high pixel quality and low signal-to-noise-ratio (which the Alexa is), upscaling from 2.8K -> 4K can yield an excellent looking outcome, e.g. Skyfall.

The only caveat to the above which I would include is that if the camera is pushed beyond its optimal operating limits then that could degrade the final result…but again, that is a source issue.
