Vizio Shows off it’s new 4K monitor at CES
IGN has the news here, on this new 70 inch display, which has 4x 1080P resolution, passive 3D and a 2mm bezel. Probably not look great on 1080 data though!
4K Displays on Windows 8
Gavin Gear at the Extreme Windows Blog, has an awesome post on how he got a 4K display running on Windows 8 and tried it out for editing with Premiere Pro CS 6 on Windows 8.
Awesome. If only a Mac could even run 3 displays, nonetheless a 4K display!
Sony announced 4K CineAlta cameras, F5 and F55 with Super 35mm Sensor
This is all over the web, at Cinescopophilia, Vincent Laforet’s blog and Cinema 5D among others. And Cinescopophilia has more on the F55 and F5. They have identical bodies and 4K senrors, but the F5 is going up against the Canon C500 with 1080p/2k recording up to 120FPS (as a free upgrade, it ships at 60FPS) or 120FPS to an outboard recorder for the F5 and internally for the F55, and even do 1080p or 2K at 240 FPS internally. Wow!
These use XAVC, which is 4:2:2 10 Bit at 100Mbps to 300Mbps for 4K. Exciting, though they haven’t priced the cameras as of yet.
Sony teases a 4K camera
Engadget HD has the info on this tease of a new Sony 4K camera, being announced on the 30th.
It will be 4K, with broadcast quality 50Mbps data rate and a 4:2:2 color space and high frame rates and likely in the CineAlta PMW-F3 range. And that is an amazing camera, so this will likely be too, though that is still some serious compression for 4K.
