Probably will hit the tradeshow again tomorrow so maybe I'll see a few more. Pretty good convention, but this hotel is confusing!  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

The temp booth is pretty neat - ten D-Cinema machines set up in double-stacks - four Christie 2230's, two Sony 320's, two Barco DP4K-32B's, and the ones I'm helping to shepard, two NEC 3240's. RealD and Master Image supplied the 3D. Plus Dolby Show Stores and Show Players, CP-650's, Doremi V1's, Sony HDCamSRs, Folsom ImageProHD scalers for the alternate content, and all the necessary routers, network switches, and "Detangler"s to connect it all. It's a projection geek's heaven up here. On stage we've got two screens - a 70' MDI silver, and a 70' 1.8 gain screen (Hurley, I think). OSC supplied all of the B-chain, including 12 dual-18" sub cabinets lined up on the stage under the screens. The current THX snipe sounded really good in this 4000-seat venue during testing on Sunday. It's been a super pleasure to work with Boston Light and Sound and all of the manufacturer techs on this project.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-31-2011 01:21 AM                        quote: Mike Blakesley Jeremy (forgot his last name in all the chaos) Spraklen.  |  IP: Logged Jake Spell Master Film Handler Posts: 294 From: Johns Island SC Registered: May 2009 posted 03-31-2011 01:31 AM                     Is there any chances of getting some pictures for those of us that were unable to go? It would be greatly appreciated!!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-01-2011 01:48 AM                        I didn't have a camera but hopefully somebody will put up pics. Gotta throw some kudos to the projection people -- everything looked flawless in all the presentations. I'm sure there was a glitch here and there but it didn't show. Also that was probably the best sound system I ever heard.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!
