Why, I have no idea. It seems ludicrous to push higher and higher resolutions all the while making current models obsolete faster. Just another reason for the exhibs to hold off converting and sticking to 35mm.  |  IP: Logged Kris Verhanneman Expert Film Handler Posts: 182 From: Belgium Registered: Dec 2009 posted 12-30-2009 10:20 AM                     Would it not be in a bigger interest for Sony to get a solution for bigger screens? To get a 6500W xenon bulb in their projector (and so to be able to project on bigger screens 25/30m)?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-30-2009 01:09 PM                     Just imagine the data bit rate for that system!  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-30-2009 01:18 PM                     So the 4K will be obsolete before it even comes out!  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-30-2009 01:54 PM                     And when Sony comes up with the 6k/8k machines they'll stop supporting the 4k machines the same day. SDDS anyone?  |  IP: Logged
