I have been into audio visual equipment since I was 8 or 9 years-old. I had my first Kenwood 50 watts per channel stereo receiver, single CD player, dual cassette deck, and KLH three way tower speakers when most of my friends had cheap boomboxes. My father introduced me to this hobby and it has only grown over time. At this point, I consider it almost an illness since I can't help thinking about the next upgrade. I always ask myself. How can I make it sound better and look cooler? My goal is provide informative and entertaining content about various topics. I will mostly concentrate on home media and technology.
Deblur is very nice feature. But is to buggy. Hair looks sometimes very grainy and full of Artefacts. Otherwise this makes a blurry video looks like 4K without cartoonish deblur + Gaia HQ + little bit grain. Output pro res
I was just listening to the argument about the hard-drive not being replaceable. As stated in the video that the older player is 7 years old and knowing that most tech that old are not made anymore and essentially discontinued. I have a older computer and if one of the components dies on me much like my video card had done which is a PCI-E 3.0 I can't get a replacement one the same interface. PCI-E 5.0 is on the horizon and even the 4.0 will become obsolete eventually so it is understandable that what was in that particular model no longer exists.
what im interested in is not Sound , Stereo is fine for me , much clearer then Atmos , dont know why you call it that , its just Surround sound , the clearest sound comes from 1 speaker , the more speakers you have the more convoluted it gets , that is why you cant hear much of a difrence between real Surround and simulated one , its not clear . That i why i dont care about it , what i care about is how it plays video . How it upscales , does it do a good job with converting 24hz Movies to 60hz , how smooth is the video . Does it improve the video in any way or it Netflix looks the same like on any other TV . Because i know Software exists to make picture better , i use Flow Frames that uses GPU to convert 24fps to 50fps by generating missing frames , it takes some power to do this , but X box has GPU , now the question is , does it use it to improve your video . If it does , there is no question for TVs that have less then stellar CPUs , adding good GPU and CPU from X box to it will make a loads of difference , but if it uses the hardware , i dont have it so im asking . I have 65inches Philips TV , it doesn't have that good CPU , its slow , tho it does upscaling good , not the best but good . Question is will X box do it better . Everyone is concerned about Sound but i dont care about it , i care about Video .
I still have my 65" Panasonic viera that converts to 3d, i also have an epson thw 1700 that i project on a wall at almost 190" i use rechargeable active glasses that work on both ,bought cheaply from amazon and work perfectly well. I have around 70 films. One of my favourites for immersive 3d is sin city 2. Just wish they would bring out more films. Avatar 2 showed glitch free 3d , please bring it back.
After their last major price increase, I was only able to buy used 😮💨 Most of the movies are 🖕expensive, especially in Canada. Not all movies are on K, disappointing 😒 If you're not watching 4k Atmos, probably stick to Apple TV / Disney better of the bunch for streaming. This company only cares about the 1% and not the little guy. The player is not badly priced, but the HD`s are 🖕 out to lunch... If you only have a 4k disk, you're kind of 🖕 to scan it into your library.
Hm, what does the screen actually do here? It shows the activities through which you can scroll, my Harrnony Companion has 3 buttons for 3 activities - it does not show which activity is active and can only use 6 activities (using long press for activities 4-6) but otherwise the X1S screen seems pretty useless. Maybe useful during set-up only?
Can I repair only one part of the video and not the rest, and then merge the repaired and unrepaired parts when exporting? I tried to repair some clips in the video before, but I could only export the repaired parts, and then I had to merge them in the editing software. I don't know if I haven't found a way or it is not supported yet.
Just had the same issue with my Vizio. Sent it off to the repair guy you recommended and within a week I had the repaired board back and a working tv. Thanks!
FUN FACT: The “City of Lights” leitmotif was later reused in Randy Newman’s rejected score for Air Force One as the main theme leitmotif. Some pieces that Newman originally scored for Air Force One were reused in Toy Story 3
I bought an HDR1000 Monitor because I was curious about TRUE HDR. But yea SDR is wayyy more consistent, and although some HDR content looks good with bright glowing swords and deep blacks in games, some stuff Is just dark crushed. I think I'll stick with SDR mode until they can figure it out.
$5000 for 8tb? Thats a joke. With fully uncompressed movie files roughlt around 45gb each that 177movies on 8tb. So $22 a movie? With 22tb @ $14000 that $28 a movie. How is that better value. This shit is horrendous and you dont own the media
I have seen a few 2D converted to 3D using A.I. and they are total B.S. No depth at all. They would just offset the entire right eye view a little from the left eye view. Fake 3D and not one iota of depth.
I have 3 BenQ projectors. The best one being a 4K/3D @ 1080p BenQ. Over the years I have acquired over 550 3D movies. Disc and Digital files. But nowadays they are few and far in-between. Really sucks. Like you said, the bigger the better. I am at 150" on the BenQ 4K/3D Home Theater with 3,200 lumens so the DLP-Link glasses are nice and bright. But I fear the 3D home release days are over with. Really sad.
This is without a doubt one of the best reviews of the Kaleidescape system that I have ever viewed. It was also one of the most painful to watch. I encourage you to learn to edit your videos and make a great video into a fantastic one by streamlining the information. This video had 10 to 15 minutes of simply outstanding content, with all the research, calculations and analysis that you did, 10 minutes of decent review and the rest was repeating yourself or providing information largely necessary. Again, it was still fantastic video, but it could be simply amazing. With this video, you solidify my decision to avoid Kaleidescape. Yes, I would love to have one, simply because it’s the highest quality, audio, and video available to consumers for the home. But their model of forcing you to buy very expensive equipment to do so still has me resisting. You bought the piece that I certainly would, the Strato S. I hope that one day they will come out with a new version that is, in my opinion, the perfect solution. With the wide availability of high-speed Internet, 2.5 and 10 Gb LAN ports and network cards and solid-state drives, the player would not be the bottleneck that the old Strato S is. As a result, Kaleidescape owners could choose to simply stream purchased or rented content without having a need to store it on a server. This is the ideal scenario. I don’t want to physically HAVE to own a server to watch my content anymore. I used to want to own everything physically, but now I am content to just have access and stream it. It would also lower the price of belonging to the Kaleidescape ecosystem. That would save customers so much money in the kaleidoscope system and increase customer base.The market for servers would still remain for those who want a download in their personal digital library. Your analysis of Gone With The Wind movie, highlights the high true cost point. I hope Kaleidescape watches this and looks at these comments as they have been remiss to not offer a better streaming player. Keep up the fantastic work and I look forward to seeing more of your content.
I really don’t make videos for entertainment. I make more informative ones. I don’t really care about the RU-vid algorithm anymore. I just put stuff out there and hope that it helps someone. I can do this because I don’t depend on RU-vid for income. If I did, I would probably hire an editor. I’m happy you got something out of it though. I even wrote in the description that it might be my most boring video yet.
They price it like this as they don’t want us as customers. They want to deal with the rich, people that will drop $25k to watch a movie are few and will pay whatever, zero issues, easy They are likely also running high end data centre drives not consumer drives like your buying, significantly more expensive and last far longer
i'm currently using the AWOL vision LTV 3500 Pro 3-D absolutely awesome I have pretty much all the 3-D movies that I've been produced including in the ones from overseas and the hard ones like predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger in 3-D but you mentioned 3-D movie theaters well there's a problem with that and that is it's not active 3-D. It's passivelacks all of the depth that active 3-D produces and that's why it didn't catch on to charge batteries in 3-D glasses of time effort and money. Also the lenses on active glasses scratch much easier than the passive 3-D glasses used in theaters so most people have never had a real 3-D experience anyone that comes to my house and watches a 3-D movie in active 3-D on my 150 inch screen is blown away. They said they've never seen anything like that movie theater and that's exactly why.,, OK finishing up your video. I'm confused. They do make three televisions so that is one thing that's incorrect. You do not need Epson glasses to watch active 3-D formats any active 3-D glasses will do you can buy four pairs for $79 at Amazon I use them myself they're quite effective, the most important thing about 3-D glasses is the size of the lens. Some of them are quite small. The three televisions I mentioned are just prohibitively expensive for their sizes.
