The market is full of unusual collaborations, although today almost no one was expecting it. Since RED (Brand of very expensive professional cameras) joins forces with Sharp. Both brands have worked together to create a television. Although it is not just any television. We are faced with a model with 8K and 70-inch resolution.
It is a model designed to meet the demanding requirements of Hollywood professionals. Since thanks to RED, this model meets these requirements. Phil Holland, a renowned cinematographer, has been commissioned to unveil the product.
We are in front of a television that in some way is a logical evolution for both brands. Since last year RED launched an 8K camera on the market. Although, clearly aimed at the professional market, because it costs about $ 80.000. So this collaboration with Sharp seems like a logical step.
In addition, Sharp is one of the few brands that have already announced / released an 8K resolution TV to the market. The rest of the brands do not have at the moment any model with this resolution or are not planning to launch it. At the moment only Sony, Panasonic and LG are working on this resolution. So there is a very wide market segment available.
Thanks to Phil Holland we have learned some details of the RED and Sharp TV. Requires four next-generation HDMI cables and 8K footage from a RED Weapon 8K camera. Also, it seems that it has upscaling for 4K material. Holland himself has also compared material recorded in 4K and 8K to see the difference in quality between the two.
He has even recorded a video showing all the benefits of this RED and Sharp TV. As we can see, it is a model designed for professionals in the sector. So we doubt that it will have a massive launch. Although neither has a possible release date or its price. We hope to know more information soon.
