Paper tape is mainly used to mark actors, place focus marks, make dolly marks and is also used in situations where you don’t want a surface to be ruined from the tape’s adhesive.

To label different focal length lenses, cameras, storage cases, carts –



batteries, AXS media cards, label strobe heads to identify the power settings, label dimmers and circuits on power outlets and plugs, hang stuff back up that’s fallen down, e.g. - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...e#post15774685

labeling food or beverage props so the cast or crew doesn’t actually eat/drink them , hang up sheets of paper having the schedule on it, etc.

I can see an actress sitting on the sand in the background. ...No tape to indicate her name.

Love the tennis ball on the cart too, Andy Lazslo's book has a nice anecdote about having to use a load of them for a shot on First Blood.

I am curious which UHD BD players people own. The reason I ask is we have tested several and only one brand (Samsung) fails to play the upcoming disc. Seems to be a player bug as we have also passed both the Panasonic and Eclipse verifiers.

Player list is attached.

The Samsungs have been choking on more and more discs lately, they've had a hell of a time with the menus on StudioCanal UHDs. I guess their QC house isn't using the Samsungs for testing at all.

I own an OPPO 203, Panny 420 and Sony X800. I would be happy to test out your disc ahead of time, hint hint.

I have one Samsung UBD-K8500 and three Sony UBP-X800 and I would also be happy to test your disc.

The Blu-ray media and devices market is expected to register a CAGR of 0.68% during the forecast period of 2018-2023. The report discusses the various types of media and devices. The regions considered for the scope of the report are North America, Europe, and various others. The study also emphasizes on the technological advancements in blu-ray technology that are affecting the market.
I am not a business man, but 0.68% doesn’t sound very good.

I was just curious about the OPPO 203 & Xbox One S having an issue regarding the Chroma Channels being misaligned but the Luma Channel is seemingly unaffected, surprised the other players have no such issues regarding Chroma.

I had thought that the X box one S's chroma bug had been fixed. Interesting.
