Back from Vegas


I was in Las Vegas earlier last week to attend the NAB show. NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) is a trade organization for the television broadcast industry. There were so many people there. Last year there were over 111,000 attendees. I was there to look at toys…uhm, I mean equipment as I am moving to Full HD format next month. What a playground…I mean tradeshow!!! It was at least four times the size of the Auto Show. It took me two days to see all that I wanted to see and my feet and legs hurt so badly at the end of each day. I got a chance to check out Ultra High Definition format at the show. One word…WOW!!!!! This format has 16 times the pixel resolution as existing HDTV. The stuff on the screen was so real I wanted to reach out to touch it. Crazy!!!

Now that the HD format battle is over between HD- DVD and Blu-Ray, I am making the transition to Full HD format (1080p). What that means is that I have to pretty much get new cameras, new editing system and start anew. I will be offering Blu-Ray option to all of my clients whose weddings are in June08 and beyond.
