What is the big annoucement about storage?

[samuel33]

Jim have said that it will be a big announcement at IBC about the storage....
so?
Maybe people at IBC have eard something?

The big announcement was that you can record visually loseless 4k on a small drive. Archiving your 4k digital cinema negative can be done without "refrigerator drives". Pretty incredible in our book.

The storage breakthrough is the 4k data rate!

All we need now is a RED satellite or cable HDTV service to replace the seriously compressed HDTV broadcasts we've got to put up with...

I think Jim should license the RED Code so we can burn HD onto normal DVDS or even - sorry - DV Tape or DVD-rs for cheep archive. You might get some Chinese DVD makers to sell a RED DVD player in China and make billions bypassing both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray with cheep $50 RED DVD players that play RED DVDs. I wont mention what the RED LIGHT DISTRICT might offer with an affordable RED DVD player and or a RED codec download to PCs and MACS - goodbye mp3, wm9 and mpeg2, mpeg 4!!! The real money is in the codec break through!

Just an idea, but China needs their own HD DVD and a cheep archive on RED DV tape would be great or RED DVD-rs.
