CEDIA 2008

CEDIA [2008] is on again and on Friday the 1st of August, I headed down to the Gold Coast Convention Centre to check out the latest Big Boy's Toys on offer. Naturally, I was there to see what was on offer for CIH, but there was also many other new and exciting products on offer and many interesting things to see from speakers...

... to this 3 screen D-Box flight simuator...

...to the latest products like this 1080 3 chip DLP CIH solution from RUNCO, so there was something for everyone...

Being that I am right into CIH, I thought that I had better document some of the things I saw:

Schnieder made a huge presesnce this year with their entire range on display including their flagship, a 200mm monster seen behind the more commonly known 4" Cine-Digitar.

This massive lens was also being used in a very impressive HD3D system projected onto a curved Stewart Microperf screen. This is simply the best 3D I have seen to date, and can only hope this is the future of home entertainment...

Apart from some awesome anamorphic CIH, there was also Panasonic's "blended" systems from featuring these massive DLPs...

...producing a 2.66:1 image projected onto a 4m wide curved surface...

Or multi Plasma arrays which can configured to run either vertically [shown below] or horizontally.

There was actually more to see than I could possibly include here, and I only wish CEDIA was more of a Consumer Electronics Show [open to the public] like CES that they have in the US.
