Could HDR and 4K Be UltraFlix's Ticket?
It has to be said that despite its remarkable claim that it can deliver ‘visually lossless’ 4K Ultra HD streams at under 4Mbps (and a separate claim that it can deliver streams to customers with 100Mbps broadband that match the quality defined by the recently announced UHD Blu-ray specification), UltraFlix is currently a niche player compared with Amazon and Netflix. This is chiefly because its content tends to be of a lower profile than that carried by its global rivals.
However, UltraFlix did score a content coup in March when it bagged the rights with Paramount to stream Interstellar in 4K UHD ahead of anyone else. So if the platform can manage to combine a few more such content deals with its increasingly strong picture quality/technical story, it may really start to make a name for itself - especially if it continues to be the case that there’s precious little other native 4K content around for all those millions of people already buying 4K TVs to chase.

THE future is very near for This Do your own DD
EARLIER this month, at a symposium at the University of Southern California film school, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg predicted the collapse of most megabudget movies, and with it the end of Hollywood as it now exists. This sounds like bad news for popcorn sellers. But Mr. Lucas and Mr. Spielberg had intriguing ideas about what might come next.
Mr. Lucas predicted that blockbusters would eventually become big-ticket events, like ballgames and Broadway plays, and that the rest of the movie business would migrate to online video — a trend that’s already begun to happen.
Mr. Spielberg offered a more radical vision. At a time of ubiquitous screens — video, movie and computer — he predicted an end to on-screen entertainment. Instead, he said he thought we’d have a kind of enveloping, wraparound entertainment.
“We’re never going to be totally immersive as long as we’re looking at a square, whether it’s a movie screen or whether it’s a computer screen,” Mr. Spielberg said. “We’ve got to get rid of that and put the player inside the experience, where no matter where you look you’re surrounded by a three-dimensional experience. That’s the future.”
