This week UltraFlix has been updated with a new Series called Ultra Extreme, featuring high adrenaline sports from around the world. This week we have added 7 episodes of Ultra Extreme featuring European Rally Car racing. Ultra Destinations, the world travelling series features 10 new episodes visiting Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon and more.
This week, Ultraflix will discuss 4K Studios’ proprietary 4K Ultra HD Grading System. This system was devised to indicate to the viewer the source of the material being displayed. There are currently 3 grades of 4K digital media being delivered on UltraFlix, Platinum, Gold and Silver.
4K Platinum. This is material that was shot using a 4K Digital Camera, edited in 4K and rendered in 4K. The image was never analog and was always in 4K digital format.
4K Gold. This is material that was shot on 35mm film using analog cameras. The film was edited and output to 35mm negatives and prints. 4K Studios takes the 35mm film masters and scans them into native 4K Ultra HD resolution digital files. We then have a variety of internal processes to clean up and present the film in the highest quality possible in the market today.
4K Silver. 4K Studios has also developed a proprietary method for taking films that were shot digitally, in HD, 2K, or 2.7K, that were originally authored to DVD or Blu-ray, working with the original master and re-mastering them in 4K producing a far better result than “up scaling” an HD file. The result is a far superior experience in 4K than the consumer would ever get by simply up scaling the Blu-ray or DVD using hardware scaling built into TV’s or other devices.
Coming Soon is UltraFlix 1.2 featuring performance enhancements to the interface and several new features to enhance the user experience! Watch out Treasures of Thailand and Muay Thai Madness on the new UltraFlix 1.2!
