How do other video fireplaces measure up?Most video fireplaces haven't changed much in the last 25 years, since VHS. They are designed for a 19-27" screen. A fire might look great on a 20" screen but ridiculously huge on a 65" screen. At the same time, a fire designed for a large screen looks puny on a small screen. We designed our fireplace Blu-ray disc for a multitude of screen sizes. You can pick the right zoom/crop level (small, medium or large) for your TV. Since we filmed the fireplace in 4K, all of the scenes are presented in FULL 1080p.
Another common pet peeve that we've experienced wit some other fireplaces -- the flames go "off the top of the screen." We designed our scenes feature the full fire. We searched high and low for a classic fireplace that provided the right dimensions and visual interest for multiple zooms.
BluScenes The Classic Fireplace was shot with a RED One™ 4K camera and is the first and only Fireplace Blu-ray Disc to offer a true 1080p HD experience with 3 different sizes to fit your aesthetic needs, so that you can choose the shot that is most appropriate for the size of your screen. Select from 3 soothing ambient tracks in your choice of stereo, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround, or 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. In addition to continuous playback, BluScenes Fireplace also includes a full fire and a special bonus Yule Log with beautiful ambient Christmas music digitally recorded in 5.1 and 7.1 Surround.
The first 3 scenes are the same fire, but set at different zoom/crop levels from the 4K footage:
Scene 1: Designed for small screens (computers & small TVs)
Scene 2: Designed for medium screens (31" to 50")
Scene 3: Designed for larger screens (51" and above)
The other 2 scenes include:
Scene 4: A "natural fire" for larger screens, that burns down to a smolder
Scene 5: A medium-frame "Yule Log"
