and despite thee old clubhouse being closed for years, that thread also continues to putter along , albeit on a more modest scale compared to open threads, as I notice it’s now closer to 7 million rather than 6.5 million views - https://forum.blu-ray.com/forumdisplay.php?f=61

Better picture quality (‘Excellent’ level with 100 fps) when using HFR as shown by the results from one of the slides from Dagmar’s presentation (member login required) at EBU’s PTS last month –



which corroborates the research regarding the value of HFR by previous investigators, view starting at the 1hour 15min 54sec timestamp onward - https://vimeo.com/154286490#t=1h15m54s

@Penton-Man, Several years back at NAB I was in demo room with super slow-motion playback of sports, karate and ballet dancing. I think they shot the content at 600fps and at the demo they played it back at 60p on a nice plasma professional monitor. Great demo and fun to watch!

It's getting closer to the Criterion Collection thread, and the Digital Copies (movie codes) thread. ...Eighteen million plus (18,620,209) and twenty million plus (20,805,270) views respectively.

What was a weird was that late last night I logged in to check my PMs and I noticed the viewership was 1,999,666 (strange numerical sequence) and wondered if 9 and 6s were lucky numbers in numerology.

But probably not for most scripted films. It doesn't seem to go over well with the general public.

the general public loves sports though, however I’m wondering if the last super bowl dampened that feeling somewhat

Good notification Penton!
Me what I've been noticing is that the number of views advance very rapidly each day.

The half time show (HDR or not) was an opening mind brain damage concussion.
The game itself was a defensive game, from both camps.

Just about everything in that tepid broadcast would dampen the spirit of the most ardent football fan. It was all so... bleh.

You really do not know the significance of that combination of the number 6? Hint:

Either that or Nero Caesar aka The Beast of Revelations fame. That's what it's referencing. The three 6 symbol was his name in Hebrew numerology and used as code talk.

Nero was a real peach of a guy.

[LordoftheRings]

He didn't live very long; he committed suicide @ age 30.
•https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero

Peachy guy it seems, yeah.

"Nero was adopted by his great-uncle Claudius and became Claudius' heir and successor. Like Claudius, Nero became emperor with the consent of the Praetorian Guard. Nero's mother, Agrippina the Younger, was likely implicated in Claudius' death and Nero's nomination as emperor. She dominated Nero's early life and decisions until he cast her off. Five years into his reign, he had her murdered."

Additional (#666):
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast

"Preterist theologians typically support the numerical interpretation that 666 is the equivalent of the name and title Nero Caesar (Roman Emperor 54–68 AD). Written in Aramaic, this can be valued at 666 using the Hebrew numerology of gematria, and was used to secretly speak against the emperor. Also "Nero Caesar" in the Hebrew alphabet is נרון קסר‎ NRON QSR, which when used as numbers represent 50 200 6 50 100 60 200, which add to 666."
