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:
“The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Our reason may prove what it will: our reason is only a feeble ray that has issued from Nature.”
—Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949)
“Science is a system of statements based on direct experience, and controlled by experimental verification. Verification in science is not, however, of single statements but of the entire system or a sub-system of such statements.”
—Rudolf Carnap (1891–1970)
