Imagine that s&*t in 3D!!!!

There is a thread for this. Remember, the search function is your friend.



As Deci pointed out, the 2K and 4K Digital Cinema standards are not what people usually think.

2K == 1080 (v) x 2048 (h) @ 24 or 48 frames per second
4K == 2160 (v) x 4096 (h) @ 24 frames per second

As far as I know, no one is currently shipping to cinemas at large the 4K systems. There are some prototypes and units under special test, but none in any theatres for the general public.
