Thanks for the reminder.

I'm thru the 1st half of this past weeks Arsenal match in the Champions League, 3-0 so far Arsenal Seems we've found a scoring duo, finally.

Danny Welbeck could turn out to be a good signing.

Flash forward to yesterday published on YouTube from IBC2014 Amsterdam…

4K: Hans Hoffmann - YouTube

With that ^ in mind, next year people will be seeing more and more news/demos about the implementation of HDR with movies, esp. if the industry is impressed with Emma. I think in regards to motion pictures originally finished in LDR (low dynamic range, which has been the traditional delivered dynamic range), that any of those oldie but goodie motion pictures which are remastered in HDR…that the Director or his legitimately relevant proxy, meaning the DP rather than some assistant producer, assistant editor, etc. have active involvement in the remastering process.

We don’t want something like this occurring yet again, but this time with increased dynamic range rather than color tint, by any studio executive…because any HDR ‘reimagining’ should be actively supervised by the filmmaker himself as I don’t think folks should see things/changes in a new version unless they are assured that the Director himself unequivocally wants viewers to see them.

In fact, some Directors (you can fill in the blank in the last paragraph with the name Steven Soderbergh) have explicitly stated that with some of their work, they do not want anyone “to conform and re-scan the film negative and re-color time the film to potentially take advantage of any improvements
in scanning and digital intermediate technology”… https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...ht#post2325081

Sooo, point being, I’m all for HDR (color timing at greater than 100 nits for home versions) of brand spanking new content but, we should be careful with how we treat old movies originally finished in LDR.

P.S.
Please note that the all-day symposium titled “Making Do With More” that will kick off the Society of Motion-Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) 2014 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition later this month will now be held at Hollywood’s historic El Capitan Theatre…https://www.smpte.org/smpte2014/symposium

For new readers unfamiliar with Hans H. of the EBU (among other accomplishments, he was the first European in nearly four decades to serve as engineering V.P. of SMPTE)

And naively presume he is just another one of those innumerable entertainment talking heads who flood the internet with their 2 cent’s worth A/V blogger advice …skip forward from the 25 min. timestamp noted in the quote here to ~ the 35min mark of the past NAB Tech Summit as published on YouTube, where he is introduced by a past President of SMPTE.

I think so too. It’s just that I’m scared of Chelsea (and Man City) because of all that money thrown into those clubs.

I agree.

Already back from an early (as it’s been hot as hell here in SoCal recently) morning ride, albeit not nearly as extreme as this…

Danny Macaskill: The Ridge - YouTube

so sitting down now to watch the first half of Arsenal v. Chelsea before taking my lovely wife out to lunch later.

i.e. they’re now experimenting with even 600fps! but bandwidth watchers relax , the frame rate they’re seriously considering for UHDTV-1 Phase 2 is more on the order of ~ 100 frames per second.
http://journal.smpte.org/content/123/4/50.abstract

Anyway, with all that said, personally, I’m not too interested in chasing higher frame rates for dramatic motion pictures (cinema) but, for those who are and have nothing to do this evening…starting at 6:30 PM with a humble reception -

Digital Projection - from 12 fps to 120 fps !

LOCATION: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) Archive Building
1313 Vine Street, Hollywood, CA 90028
The Linwood Dunn Theater in the Pickford Center

Admission is free, Industry guests welcome with RSVP ticket.

I certainly am Penton man. It gives me the heart to fight back against the usual drum beating crowds on the forum. All this 4k goodness must be quality overload for them!

Anyway, good to catch up, take it easy.

Additionally, on the horizon, 4K Blu-ray easily has the potential of providing superior audio and video quality over that of satellite 4K broadcast.

I look forward to BSkyB efforts in that department. I just hope my team hang around long enough to enjoy the Premier coverage on my display!

Sometimes, no matter what be the resolution, people have just got to drop the camera (and tripod) or else they’ll become first in line from the perspective of claws and teeth …

But what about the dude taking the picture?

Dolby is well represented but, on the other hand, so is DTS.
