Red Ray Projector System
The Red Ray Projector was announced at NAB 2012. The Red Ray Projector System consists of three parts: the Red Ray Pro Player, Red Ray Projector Laser Module(s) and the Red Ray Projector. The projector is named after the Red Ray codec, a compression algorithm which allows 4K video to be compressed to a bitrate of 10-15 megabits/second with quality high enough for cinema projection. The initial purpose of the codec was to create a 4K competitor to blu-ray that could be distributed on DVDs.
The Red Ray Projector is capable of displaying 4K footage at 120 fps in 3D. It uses separate laser modules to generate light so that the heat generating components that require fan cooling can be kept out of the projection room. The use of multiple laser modules allows it to be scalable to different sizes of screens. One laser module is supposed to accommodate up to a 15 foot screen. The prototype also uses the same Red Pro Prime lenses sold with their camera system.
It is supposed to ship at the end of 2012 for less than $10,000 including the Red Ray Player digital content server. Red has also suggested that they will be selling high quality screen material given the high cost of 3D compatible screens.

Famous quotes containing the words red, ray and/or system:
“Revolution? Unscrew the flag-staff, wrap the bunting in the oil covers, and put the thing in the clothes-chest. Let the old lady bring you your house-slippers and untie your fiery red necktie. You always make revolutions with your mugs, your republic—nothing but an industrial accident.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
“No ray is dimmed, no atom worn,
My oldest force is good as new,
And the fresh rose on yonder thorn
Gives back the bending heavens in dew.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
