RED 3D LASER PROJECTOR
Red Digital Cinema announces a 4K-resolution, passive-3D, laser-illuminated projector, and it might arrive on the market before the end of the year! The device received mindblowingly positive reactions from the first viewers and is quoted as a true solution to the 3D brightness problem...
And RED is adding a 3D 4K digital cinema playout server (called RED Ray) to support its projector.
Some quotes
- "After watching a demo of RED's laser projector I've been struggling to find a way to describe it. Comparing it to traditional professional systems is completely inadequate. I have never witnessed 3D that was as bright or brighter as the best 2D projections until now. It generated the best color, best dynamic range and best images I have ever seen in 3D or even 2D. When I learned we were watching at 1/4 of its total resolution I was speechless.";
- “so clean and so vibrant the only thing I can compare it to is Cibachrome. That’s it, a giant moving Cibachrome!” ;
- “I have NEVER seen better projection – from any projector – at any price point. I can’t stop thinking about it. It was beyond stunning” ...

The RED projector will have 4K resolution, be able to illuminate larger screens, work in daylight conditions and uses passive glasses as lasers are emitting natively polarized light. Price of course not known but expected around 30 K$ to 50 K$ for the cinema projector. Availability may be faster than you think: less than 12 months is the unofficial answer.
