About time this thread was made

So 2.8k would be listed if it was shot that way?
But that would have had a 2k finish normally would it not?

Yes, if the master was 4K or higher. A good example of this is Skyfall as it was shot in 2.8K, but given a 4K master.

Ah I understand, so if it was upscaled for the master at the DCP stage

Goofy, I could see that ^ coming.

The Maze Runner, Chappie and Smurfs2. In the database, but covers not up yet.

a movie shot in 2.8K and mastered in 4K will still be superior to one shot in 2K and mastered in 2K....

even if it was shot with substandard (Arri) cameras

This is very true, but if it is not presented as shot its an upscale

which is kind of too bad honestly.

UltraHD Blu Ray also opens the opportunity to publish disks with the full 2K master ratio on them instead of the downscaled 1080x1920 version currently on blurays.

exactly my point, I want Skyfall in 2.8k native res

Thanks for the thread.

Do other readers believe this should be a sticky thread. IMHO, it should.

yeah, that would be pretty awesome.

But if I can't have that I'll take an upscale over a downscale any day

100% it will help remove the confusion the format will bring

Yep, I was just waiting on covers.

How's that? UHD Blu has two resolutions, 1920x1080 and 3840x2160. Best you could hope for is a UHD upscale from the 2K master that utilises those precious extra 128 horizontal pixels (or a mere 78 in the case of flat 1.85) but even so, going from actual 2K to UHD isn't directly proportional so the potential is there for scaling artefacts. I'd rather they upscaled 2K to 4K 'like for like' and then crop the master down to UHD res.

That sucks. Anyone know how SPECTRE was shot? And Casino Royale for that matter?
