ok, sounds good, but can a blu ray player display an 8k film? Maybe a computer with a blu ray drive is needed and a 30" display to be able to see at last the 2560*1600 0f it. Can anyone help?
vlad is correct; the box is misleading. However, just as plain DVDs benefit from a source mastered in high def, Blu-ray can also benefit from a 2K or higher resolution master.
8K resolution is theoretically approaching the limits of a 70mm print, depending on the emulsion process used. At these resolutions, though, doubling from 4K to 8K will improve picture quality by a much smaller percentage.
No, blu-ray maxes out at 1920x1080, though of course having a higher master and downscaling is better then scanning it in at 1920x1080. I mean it's not a world of difference but you usually get less grain but I am sure someone can explain it better then I can. Also of course when Blu-Ray2 or whatever comes a long the content will be ready for it. I'm just trying to figure out how close you have to sit to see 8k worth of resolution... I'm guessing about 5-6ft away from a 120in screen or so.
Our local CBS affiliate has NO HD whatsoever. But the difference in clarity now that Survivor is shot/edited in HD is amazing. Same goes for Price is Right and ET. There's a huge difference since the shows are being produced HD, even though that much of the 'chain' is still standard-def.
The Cobra Tag may help you win that losing battle, acting as a Bluetooth device that attaches to your key ring and connects to your phone, it gives you the opportunity to find the missing item if it's less than 30 feet away.
