OUR Future in Video and Film

[ronscuba]

The audio equipment I listed hasn't even been setup since I moved 5 years ago. I kind of lost interest in that hobby. I liked the Magnepans and agree, they like having room around them. I think I have an Audio Technica cartridge in my Thorens, but I to take a look. My favorite component was the Conrad Johnson preamp. I just loved the warm sound the tubes created. I still have my old albums. Must have over 400 of them.

My HT receiver is an Onkyo. It does DTS, but not sure about HD dolby. I don't remember how I setup the sub, it was a few years ago.

I'm surprised you don't see a big difference with Blu ray over DVD. What do you think about your HD vs. SD camcorder footage ? Maybe it's time for a new TV or better yet a projector. The Dalite High Power is one of the best bargain screens out there.

Re: the issue of sensing devices and size/pixel density in camcorders vs still cameras. I'm pretty sure a strobe puts out a lot more light near instantaneously than a video light does, and camcorders are capturing images at shutter speeds of less than 1/30th second. I wonder how that fits into the equation, especially in the relatively dark and green waters of Socal?

Ron,
You are so right....I need to get a better monitor. Mine is a rear projection 1080i so, at best, I may be getting 720p out of the blu rays.

Thanks all to all who participated in this discussion. I have been asked to be a keynote speaker for an organization of media pros and broadcasters tomorrow and going back through this thread has helped since tomorrow's presentation is on what we can expect for the future of this business, storytelling and technology.
