Sorry, but you're completely wrong.

Now, if that were true there'd be dozens of companies converting and supplying the market with 4k content. Quite sure you can count the number on less than one hand.

Honestly, look in the Los Angeles Yellow Pages. NTEK counts on general ignorance of how Hollywood works.

There are hundreds of post production studios that can master film into 4K. Do you somehow believe that NTEK manufactured the production machines?

Most theaters are converted to digital projection now. That means somebody mastered them. In some cases, the studio would have their own post-production facilities. I believe Sony/Columbia definitely would, but I'm not sure.

In fact, the tech's not impressive for building those machines. Yes, it's a lot of impressive engineering, but at its heart, it's a 35mm film projector, a backlight, and a relatively ordinary 4K sensor. The sensor's just about the same resolution (a bit less, really) as the one in a $500 DSLR camera.

Now, that's simplifying it, but you should realize that if you have all the time in the world, you could lash up a rig with a DSLR that you took apart, a film projector, and some sort of mechanism to move the frame forward. That's if you want to do a couple of frames per minute, manually. Use your laptop. You're done for <$1000 and your dining room table is a disaster area.

You want to do it faster? You want a proper setup that's well made and easier to use? You want to adjust the colors on the fly and have the best backlight possible? Ok, now you're building the boxes that NTEK purchased or leased. You're into hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But there's nothing inherently fancy about the technology. It's light and a sensor of perfectly ordinary resolution.

An MRI machine is inherently fancy. Ridiculously high-intensity magnets, tons of computer power, very fancy mathematics. You'd need a PhD in Physics to understand any of it.

Light and a camera sensor? A child could understand it.

And do you somehow imagine that the company that made those mastering boxes only made a couple dozen? Heck, no. They made thousands of them, because there are lots of people who want this service.
