Judged by the waves that the Alchemy PR makes here
Post# of 2009
Haven't we seen these kind of PR's before, yawnnnnn ?
I would have preferred that they added at least a handfull of the "coming soon" titles, and replace them in that section with a new bunch of sooners.
In stead there is another agreement.

With two (or three, depending on the source) machines to scan and format these movies into 4k running 24/7, it shouldn't take long, right? Right?
Depends on the source. The only way to have real 4K is to scan a movie that was shot on film, or of course a movie that was shot in native 4K.
Not so recent movies shot digitally are only available in HD, Blu-ray or 2K, so these can only be upscaled into 4K, (to which is added some of the famous NTEK sauce). That shouldn't take too long to do I would say.
Many of the latest additions are upscaled on UF.
By the way, that PR states :
Quote:
The company owns a catalog of 810 film titles and has deals for the ongoing distribution of film titles and programming for clients including PBS Distribution, nCircle, Phase 4 Films, Magnolia, MPI Media Group, Well Go, Music Box Films, Inception, and Hammer Horror, among many others.
At the last counting, 302 titles (203 hrs) were on UF. So a bunch of content is waiting for "the signature", or what is going on ?
