All the movies on digital cinema projectors since 2012 are 4k. They all run on 300gb hard discs.
The problem is BluRay is 1080p. There is no 4k content optical disc. Cable, Satellite don't have enough bandwidth to be pumping multiple streams of 250 megabit-per-second into peoples houses. They can barely do 720P. Everything is going to be upscaled for a while until a bluray killer emerges.
When setting up (average)peoples equipment, no one can tell 720p from 1080p. I have to hold my tongue when they can't tell 480p from 720p. It kind of pisses me off that they are throwing so much behind 4k TV's when they totally botched 21:9.
Can someone explain why DCP is 4096x2160 but the 4K tvs are 3840x2160? 4K Scope (2.39:1) is 4096x1716 and 4K Flat (1.85:1) is 3996x2160.
