Hi Tim,

Thanks for the feedback and I agree with you, I can’t wait to see how this will impact both older film-based movies and newer 4K shot and managed movies.

now when i read all of this i can taste your uhd player, i can smell the shiny new technology coming straight from the hard working people to get this challenge done from when it was just someones idea on someones piece of paper. i am excited and i can’t fully understand what this means for hometheater enthousiasts. i cant wait to watch some older movies with uhd treatment with atmos or dts:x… there is a huge library waiting to be treated with the most care and love for film that needs to be shared with us!

as always, thank you for your time and hoping to hear from you soon again my friend!
