Cool stuff. So the device/player you use plays the 4K file at 1080p? Or does it play the 1080p instead? Because the 1080p iTunes thingies aren't very impressive sadly.
If it's the 4K @ 1080p, nothing is lost I think. I doubt they have bitrates that justify 4K in any way, similar to Netflix and Youtube.

Yeah it is the 4K master streaming then downscaled:
AppleTV (2160p/23.976) -> Scaler (1080p/23.976) -> HDCP Stripper -> Cap Card
In the end 4K or not, its still a stream so mileage may vary but I think it doesn't look too, too bad...

I'm looking forward to this, as well as your other current/near-future projects, PDB. Exciting stuff!
Finest kind.

Overall I really like the grading on the 4k master.
With nothing to do with PDB's project at hand, I have a query.
What bothers me is the opening (helicopter, beach, General Phillips talking to Dutch out side the beach hut) at sunset.
It was a golden color and not the blue grade we see in the screenshot.
Does anybody know what it looked like on it's theatre run?
I watched it on it first run on VHS in the U.K.

I think the only way this movie will get a proper official release will be if we scream for it as loud as Arnold does here:

As this is a cap rather than direct download surely the colours are not 100% accurate to the original stream due to the hdmi capture cards own colour/brightness settings, I know mine changes them slightly.
