Release Notes
The goal of Project 4K80 is simply to create a version of the 1980 Pre-Special
Edition version of The Empire Strikes Back that will look good on a 4K television
or monitor.
Scanned, cleaned and rendered at 4K, the material is sourced primarily from one
original 1980 35mm print (actually a mix of Fuji and Eastman reels), Reel 1 is from
a UK Print, with additional material taken from a 4K scan of a 1997 Special Edition
print, for those few occasions when missing frames could not be sourced from anywhere else.
Versions of the project include 1080p and 4K renders without digital
noise reduction. These are titled as follows:
Empire.Strikes.Back.4K80.1080p.no-DNR.35mm.x264-v1.0 <- This version
Empire.Strikes.Back.4K80.2160p.UHD.no-DNR.35mm.x265-v1.0 (Coming Soon)
All material is frame complete and has been GOUT-synced, meaning it starts on the same
frame as the GOUT DVDs, and all of your favorite GOUT-synced audio and subtitles, if
they aren't already included, ought to sync up. I believe there is 1 extra frame in 4K80,
also found on the PAL DVD, but 1 frame shouldn't present any noticeable sync issues, particualarly,
with dubbed sound or subtitles.

Plans for potential future updates:
* A Blu-Ray ISO has been discussed for a more standard movie-watching experience
which will include a disc menu, alongside additional content and bonus
features.
* Since the dynamic range of the scanned film exceeds that of standard
televisions, there is potential for a future HDR release. The team is working
hard to produce an HDR version as our understanding of the encoding
requirements evolve - stay tuned.
None of these plans are guaranteed.
