Wasn't about quoting me. I thought the video in the Panasonic thread was more informative, better scripted and I liked seeing him sitting in front of a work station.

Why not post the link to the video you shared here in the Panasonic thread as well? I'm sure Robert wouldn't mind.

Hmm, give me a moment.

chromaticity coordinates of white point (0.3127, 0.329)

chromaticity coordinates of primary 0 (0.265, 0.69)
chromaticity coordinates of primary 1 (0.15, 0.06)
chromaticity coordinates of primary 2 (0.68, 0.32)

Done, but I don't know, perhaps TMI?.... https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...t#post11248640

Which is spec-ed with a maximum luminance value of….

1100 cd/m2

4K DCP for The Perfect Guy





Image Format: 4096 x 1716 (Scope)
Audio Format: 5.1
File Size: 110 GB (add another 3 MB for open cap)

So, in essence, for the Ultra HD Blu-ray the pluses and minuses of any upscale issue would be moot in this case.

Can't keep up with the slang, because apparently "guy" now means "cleavage".

Is there anything in theaters right now with a 4K DCP? I tried to ask my connections at Alamo Drafthouse but even they couldn't answer with any degree of confidence.

You’re waaaay more clinical than I am…or perhaps have better peripheral vision for even though I composed that post, I’m still centrally fixated on the cleavage.

The faith flick War Room ( http://warroomthemovie.com/ )
and trailers for Fox’s Bridge of Spies with Tom Hanks et al Directed by Spielberg.

Personally, I’ve always kinda favored this one from the Academy, which I previously posted somewhere on this forum last year during a discussion about color correction/DI's…..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOnT...youtu.be&t=53s

[spectre08]

I hope that Netflix releases all of their UltraHD original series on UHD Blu-ray. I would snap up Sense8 in a heartbeat.

[raygendreau]

The best video interview to date about the CZ950 with a brief discussion of the Panisonic UHD BR player toward the end.

[raygendreau]

These video interviews just keep getting better! Sowa's comments on black level bode well for Panasonic and future content faithfully reproducing black and near black.

Is there a list somewhere of films that should be ready to go for 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray titles?

With Fox revealing their first 4K Blu-ray titles and offering both 4K and Blu-ray in the same set, I'm considering holding off on a few titles this Fall in the hopes that an eventual 4K release won't be any higher than a 3D title.

For instance, what about "Cinderella" or "Furious 7"?

I believe 4K Digital Cinema and Hollywood Classics has a list of films with 4K DI's. Just beware that most of the titles that Fox announced are up-converts (scaled) from 2K DI's.

Most of the UHD titles available on the Sony FMP-X1 and FMP-X10 (from SEN) are from 4K DI's. IMO, in terms of PQ, most of these are not worth the premium (≥ $30 cost to purchase and download) they command over the BD counterpart.

Park Circus' doesn't list anything newer than 2013 and I couldn't find any list on Hollywood Classics.


Don't get me wrong... the thought of Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge On The River Kwai, Goldfinger, and The Ten Commandments in 4K is exciting enough, but I was interested in a more current and complete list.

Welcome Alan , long time no hear. Got lightening strikes over yonder?
If you mean what’s in the actual Ultra HD Blu-ray pipeline right now, no public list yet, other than Fox’s announcement.

But now that the Federal data breach lawsuit has been settled (http://www.wtvm.com/story/29947060/f...ed-lawyer-says ) and barrister skullduggery has been revealed ( http://deadline.com/2015/08/iatse-el...ld-1201510836/ ), the time is fast approaching for the Leader of the 4K world to step forward with an update since this last interview…..

or a V.P. or at least a Director, because the industry (BDA) has established physical media standards. Some things actually happened rather quickly, like 4:2:2/4:4:4 being voted down on the very first vote by super majority in technical committee in favor of 4:2:0.

For that matter, what is the status of all of the major studios? While I'm with you that Fox has announced and seems rather bullish, I would assume Sony Pictures is in too, though we have yet to hear anything. What about Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros, and Disney?!?!? Seems we haven't heard a peep...
