4k or fake-k?


In Reply To
If you are wanting to see The Hobbit in 4K HFR 3D this is the projection system that is capable of that.


There is not a single projection system in the world currently able to project HFR-3D in 4k. To be more precise: Every 3D copy or DCP of 'The Hobbit' will only be 2k. That's the only agreed standard.

If shown on any 4k capable digital cinema projector, it will be played back in 2k, but upscaled to 4k in the projector. There is no difference between all three DLP based brands/manufacturers in this respect, since they all share their main TI OEM components. Be it NEC, Christie, or Barco - they all offer 2k and 4k projectors.
The maximum input framerate for these at 4k is 30fps. So even with a stacked projection system (2 machines) no 4k HFR playback.
Sony 3D is not even upscaled 4k, but two 2k frames overlayed on each other.

You would have a hard time telling native 4k projection from 4k upscale anyway, especially in 3D. Don't bother wether it is 'real' 4k, just enjoy the movie.
