What to expect from CEDIA

[bmr76]

With cedia around the corner, what announcements or news should we expect in regards to blu ray. Do you guys think it will mirror the IFA, or bda has some aces up their sleeves. I was just wondering if I should be excited, or expect just normal positive news. Any predictions?

[BluBerry]

I wouldn't expect anything huge. I'm sure it will be mostly hardware news.

With the war being mostly centered in the US, the big guns are going to come out there

I'm expecting big news for Blu at CEDIA.

[reiella]

I expect alot of complaints about parking and how most people in Denver can't drive.

[Joon]

I am expecting Warner to possibly say they will go exclusive to BD. Or that Universal is going neutral(they are taking a beating in the nex gen format war).

I believe that is the most accurate prognostication yet

I am expecting Warner to possibly say they will go exclusive to BD. Or that Universal is going neutral(they are taking a beating in the nex gen format war).

Neither one will happen until after Christmas at the absolute earliest

[The Guardian]

I'm not personally expecting any huge bombshells.. just a steady diet of tiny bits of good news which add up to a landslide...

[Blu Titan]

I expect BDA to keep hammering the Duders. The support towards blu form the player and computer manufacturers are ever increasing. More good news coming for the good guys.

[supersix4]

id love to see some bombshells .. but even just some good news would be good

[bmr76]

do you think well here any news on the matrix, batman begins for bd? Is it possible for these to land before christmas, i can just imagine what these two titles would do to the nielson numbers for bd.

If you look at the booth map (in related thread), it's all home-theater/audio tech.
That's what the show's about.

I'd expect a few new-player announcements from the player companies, and some showoff of features on Warner disks--maybe a little hint of what they'll do with 1.1--but it's not a studio show.
If they've got anything to say to the industry, they'll say it to a more mainstream show like CES '08 that attracts more of a movie-industry cross-section.

Personally I'd enjoy hearing that see Batman Begins, Sin City, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1&2, and the Matrix released THIS holiday season. I'd also enjoy reading about all the great audio systems supporting HDMI 1.3 and the lossless codecs with release schedules and pricing.

I've held off on Batman Begins waiting for the BD to come...only interested in Matrix if they split them up and I can just buy the first (although I still don't even own it on DVD)...count me in for Sin City and Pulp Fiction though...

08.30.2007 — PRESS RELEASE

Annapolis, Maryland, August 28, 2007 – In yet another coup de grace for the fading HD-DVD camp, Blu-ray Disc has succeeded in wooing Xperinet, Inc., the leader in development of performance IP media networks. Xperinet announced today it will outfit its 2008 line of media servers and clients with Blu-ray drives, further solidifying the format’s dominance over HD-DVD in the marketplace. Scheduled to ship in October, the MIRV (Multiple Independent Replay Video) HD line of media servers will include a Blu-ray ROM drive for loading high-resolution 1080p MPEG-2 and H.264 files.

Xperinet is the first media server appliance to adopt Blu-ray for the custom installation market. Governed by the Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association (CEDIA), this industry represents over 10,000 custom installation companies worldwide and over $12 Billion in electronics installation sales. “Xperinet’s leadership position in media servers for this industry strikes an important win for the Blu-ray camp,” remarked Aaron Chisena, Director of US Sales for Xperinet. “HD content is essential for revealing the capabilities of today’s 1080p displays, and no one wants to search through disks any more to find a movie.” The MIRV system not only stores video content, but also streams movies and music around the home so many users can have access to the same library simultaneously.

Xperinet will debut its Blu-ray enabled systems at the CEDIA trade show in Denver Colorado, September 6-9, 2007. Blu-ray equipped systems will begin shipping in October and an upgrade kit will be available for dealers to outfit existing MIRV servers in the field. Xperinet MIRV is available throughout the US, Europe, and Asia via Xperinet’s network of dealers and distributors.

Xperinet, Inc develops and markets convergence technology products for the Custom Electronics Integration industry. Headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, Xperinet is committed to making technology usable by all consumers.
