4K Movies Releases

[singhcr]

Now to wait patiently for Marantz to make a HDMI 2.0 receiver. Maybe it will be ready by mid 2014?

Can't think of a 4k tie in for this . Penton man, you are good at that

Or better still. Kill it. Fry it. Eat it.

Just out of interest, joking aside, would you guys eat your dogs?

You have a cooker in your home cinema room? Wow, that's radical!

Sheesh Constitution. Have gopher squirrels been digging holes in your front lawn or something?

I see we’re back to the killing and eating animals theme. Well then, how ‘bout animals eating animals, i.e. snake vs. pig.

I love these guys…”That volume of content is like a whole pig moving through a python”… http://gigaom.com/2013/09/04/sony-be...nload-service/

F.Y.I., some puck (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/07/s...ution-service/ ) users will notice that pig moves mighty fast through that python at least with some ‘Purchase” feature films (as opposed to ‘Download and Purchase’ movies) as think of those flicks as essentially already being preloaded into early adopters’ pucks. Basically what I’m saying is that when you hit the ‘purchase’ button you can almost immediately begin watching the flick without any delay . So, in these cases I guess that would be like a python with diarrhea.

That said, with the ‘Download and Purchase’ movies, given the speed of most consumers’ broadband connections, plan on a download time of roughly 4-5 x the movie’s play length. At first thought, that may seem like a lot of time, but still quicker than waiting for a Netflix or Blockbuster Blu-ray to come in the mail.

Or, for that matter, one-day shipping from places like Amazon for the collectors out there.

Heads-up to 4K restoration-ist affectionados and aspirer-ers out there, for in my haste to type up, within a few minutes, a short preliminary list for member ‘Batjoke100’ before the ‘official’ announcement, I forgot to include the 4K restored film ‘The Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion'… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065889/
So there, restoration (digital ) efforts acknowledged.

Plus, one should disregard ‘Salt’ in the above list as I forgot it was a preloaded freebie.

Would that be with or without BBQ sauce?

Sir, as Triumph the Dog says (at ~ the 7½ min. mark) ….”Reveal yourself!”….“REVEAL YOURSELF!”

b.t.w., I think it’s important to differentiate ‘nerds’ from ‘geeks’, as was done here back in May when no video journalists were speaking or making specific predictions about the specs of HDMI 2.0 - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...ks#post7523574

For bright geeks out there, a clock rate of 594 MHz is the equivalent to about an aggregate data rate (TMDS throughput) of 18 Gbps. Now, where did we recently hear the ’18 Gbps’ thing officially announced in the video journalist news? I remember, two days ago here -

^ Good job.
And as a follow-up to this article about viewing Breaking Bad with the puck through the Video Unlimited service… http://mashable.com/2013/09/04/video-unlimited-4k/

This podcast should warm celluloid hearts (Sap?) as Michael Slovis reveals (among other things) how much of Breaking Bad was shot on film http://www.needcreativepodcast.com/b...graphy-ncp059/

Of course, now digitally remastered in 4K.

Body Double's on there? Sweet. **** paying $$$'s for that damned OOP Blu-ray, I'll sit tight. Now all I need is for Sony to realise that people outside of the US do actually want 4K content too...

[Penton-Man]

I feel your pain but I’m informed that people are looking into its feasibility in other markets. Although, it is quite ironic that the ‘official’ announcement for the launch of the service came during the time of Europe’s apparently largest consumer electronics and home appliances fair.

Geoff, look on the bright side, if the 4K Video Unlimited service were not to come to fruition in the U.K. and Europe, then not only would that essentially guarantee 4K Blu-ray, but probably even accelerate its appearance. And I don’t think you mind physical media do you?

[Penton-Man]

Question from someone in a PM to P-Man – “So Penton, given that I don’t understand this 4:2:0 vs. 4:2:2 vs. 4:4:4 stuff very well tell me this. Is the ‘official’ 18 Gbps enough bandwidth to at least support transport of 4K 60fps 4:2:0 10 bit because I’m a big fan of more bits and with UHD I don’t want the “perception” as related here

Bit Depth - YouTube

. I want the real deal, meaning 10 bits!

[Penton-Man]

^ ^ ^ ^
Answer - What do you mean 10 bits? I like this clip - http://vimeo.com/groups/35mmandrisda...ideos/73343064

First of all, it may be the ‘official’ upgraded bandwidth but, I’m pretty sure the math works out to be 17.82 Gbps < that’s for those who make a big deal out of the difference between ‘4K’ and ‘UHD’.

Anyway, to answer your question directly, yes, with HDMI 2.0 there is enough bandwidth to support 4K 60fps 4:2:0 10 bit. So the *restriction* to providing such enhanced picture quality to the public will not reside in any HDMI bandwidth obstruction; but rather, the willingness of display manufacturers and content providers to offer it.
