Is 4k porn already a thing?

I've never seen a D in 4K

A website called huccio does 4K porn and so does Naughty America, for that matter both have released 4K porn for a few years now, they were the first two to start.

I found out today that by seeing the English version of BBC Click on BBC News HD that their team of presenters will be covering the events at CES 2015 in Las Vegas in a 2 part special later on this week and next week on the BBC World News channel.

It will also be shown on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings/afternoons on the BBC News Channel in either SD or HD in the UK.

It might show something relating to 4K Blu-ray players as it usually shows the biggest trends of the exhibition for the coming year.

4k BD maybe if there is announcement of some sort but since the specs for 4k BD won't be finalized for some months there it makes no sense for there to be players announcements/shown at CES

The Majors just don't care about BD 4K. They see streaming as the future of Home Entertainment...

The BD Association is trying to make it happen because of course it's important for them to get royalties out of this.

Another CES comes with no 4K Blu-ray news. I am not so sure it will see the light of day...

Everybody wants a piece of VR at the moment. AR is a few years behind VR in terms of being able to deliver a 'wow' experience but it's another area that is going to be absolutely huge. The distinction between AR and VR may erode with hybrid or convertable devices.

Expect the next decade to be pretty exciting with regards to new display paradigms. A virtual Imax screen in your box apartment is very close for the average consumer.

When a Hollywood stereographer extraordinaire leaves Dreamworks Animation as exclusively noted here back in the day https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...in#post7704305 to later pursue 3D movie making in Virtual Reality at Condition One, I think that says something about the potential of the technology.

Not surprising since VR headsets might be the quickest way for mass adoption of 3D and even 4k (assuming each headset is individually customizable and not one size fits all). The only issue I have with current headset design is it impairs the use of over ear headphones.

I can't believe no one has posted this announcement, DTS are set to launch DTS X it's there go at multidimensional audio ATMOS in other words.

Press release here: http://www.dts.com/corporate/press-r...ive-sound.aspx

CALABASAS, Calif., Dec. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions, is excited to reveal that DTS:X will be its next-generation object-based codec technology. This release is the successor to DTS-HD Master Audio and marks another milestone in DTS' long line of industry-leading sound innovations. DTS:X delivers the ultimate in flexibility, immersion and interactivity to listeners of all forms of entertainment.

DTS Logo.

Manufacturers representing nearly 90 percent of the home AV receiver and surround processor market, including Anthem, Denon, Integra, Krell, Marantz, McIntosh, Onkyo, Outlaw Audio, Pioneer, Steinway Lyngdorf, Theta Digital, Trinnov Audio, and Yamaha, have agreed to launch products supporting DTS:X in 2015. Additional manufacturer partners will be announced in the coming months. DTS:X solutions are also available for leading 2015 AV receiver silicon platforms representing the majority of the DSP platform market share, including Cirrus Logic, Analog Devices and Texas Instruments.

The official launch of DTS:X is planned for March 2015, at which time additional information will be shared.

"DTS was founded with the goal of making the world sound better through constant innovation. DTS:X is a result of years of cutting-edge development in the area of object-based audio and reflects our continued commitment to provide listeners with incredible immersive audio experiences," said Jon Kirchner, Chairman and CEO of DTS, Inc. "Through incorporating DTS:X technology into a wide range of home AVR products, our partners will take the listening experience to another level.

So March it is then. So many questions. The press release has been there since the 30th but no one anywhere has said anything.

Perhaps because everyone is watching the Panny press conference where they unveiled the first 4K BD player.

Exciting stuff but my experience this time around, still using my Oppo BDP80 as my main machine, means I'll probably buy the first, cheapest player Oppo do and stick with it.

[bailey1987]

It looks like there going with ULTRA HD BLU-RAY™ as the title. Any word on the logo?

Encouraging news re HDR support. Be nice to see some of the other companies in the UHD Alliance getting behind the format.
