2009 is when he did the article; 2005 is when he did the presenjtation at the HPA Tech Retreat.

Going back to the linked article, we note that John Galt was with Panavision at the time (not Panasonic; gotta watch those Panas) and the article is described as a "wide-ranging, no-holds barred conversation" from 2009 (not 2005).

        A real issue, to be sure, but old news.  John presented it at
        the HPA Tech Retreat in 2005.

        For tomorrow's news, come to this year's Tech Retreat,
        February 17-21:

            This interesting discussion by John Galt of Panasonic
            exposes a logical
            flaw of the design i was not aware of :

            
http://library.creativecow.net/galt_john/John_Galt_2K_4K_Truth_About_Pixels/1


            In short red and blue pixels have half the density of
            green ones.
            Hence they provide half the sampling frequency of green ones.
            You are supposed to have a low pass optical filter in
            front of your
            sensor at half the sampling frequency.
            If you optimize it for green, you let aliasing frequencies
            for red and
            blue in.
            If you optimize for red/blue, you throw away half the
            green bandwidth
            (essentially luminance).

            To me, it means a properly filtered 4K sensor would have a
            practical 2K
            resolution.


            Also inside the discussion, the story of how Imax
            engineers measured the
            resolution of their system to be less than 4K, and other
            interesting
            bits.
