The 4K RedRay Player is Now Available for Preorders

Streaming content will be available with the launch of the player in March.

With the inevitable hardware transition from HD to UHD underway, companies will soon be fighting to control the software side of the picture. Just as with the Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD format war, we'll soon see competition for dominance. The big difference is that this war might not be entirely disc based.

We're still waiting to see what happens with Blu-ray and we've yet to get a real look at anyone else's plans, but Red is already prepping the launch of their RedRay player. The RedRay player can push out UHD content via a streaming service called Odemax, which apparently delivers 4K streams without requiring crazy amounts of data.

The RedRay digital media player will launch in March and is available to preorder now at $1,499.

RED's Redray 4K Cinema Player is up for Preorder

The player handles 4K files, upscales the resolution of your other files and is even compatible with the HFR 3D that you'll see in 'The Hobbit.'

UHDTVs are hitting the market and the folks that own them are going to need something to watch. RED is responding to that need by offering up the Redray Cinema Player – a device capable of playing back UHD video files at the same resolution as your TV.

RED isn't stopping there though. They know you're still going to need something to watch on your fancy new set and will be launching the Odemax distribution system to go with it. Odemax will presumably allow you to both rent and buy movies in 4K though the specifics are fairly limited at the moment. We do know it comes out for consumers in March of 2013.

The Redray player is available for preorder now with shipments starting at the end of this month. The price is set at $1,450.

RED Reveals Info on a 4K Laser Projector and REDRay Player

RED says that you'll be able to pick up the projector for under $10,000

The folks at RED are all about cameras, but now the company is moving into projectors and content players.

The RED laser projector is an interesting proposition. It offers up the ability to show 3D using passive technology at up to 120 frames per second and can handle a screen up to 15 feet. Oh, and if it wasn't abundantly clear from the RED name, this thing handles a 4K resolution. All that for under $10,000.

The REDRay player is one way to get 4K video to your projector. Despite the name, it's not a new disc format – simply a digital media player that can handle a 4K resolution at 120fps. RED hasn't stated a price estimate for the REDRay player at this time.
