Subject: Re: [AE] Use of 4K Cameras It depends entirely on the kind of things you want to shoot. 4K currently has little real to-market delivery path, but it is a useful acquisition format for post work, since there are so many pixels to work with, crop in on etc. "Shoot now-Frame later" is a viable strategy with 4K.

Curious if anyone = thinks 4k will become a the new delivery format? How likely is this? &= nbsp;

I can appreciate it as a tool for acquiring c= ontent as Brian mentions, but not sure of the value as a final delivery form= at. Notice how 3d televisions have gradually evaporated. Electro= nics makers are so desperate to claw some more cash away from consumers, I f= eel like these formats get seeded to us in a some what insidious way. = Is there a pressing need for 4K broadcasts? I sometimes feel like HD o= n a relatively large monitor is almost too much fidelity for most average si= ze rooms…
