Other than that, it's awesome. I attended several cutting-edge presentations yesterday, and then hit the show floor today for the exhibits. I saw an elderly man have a medical emergency and presumably die right in front of me as he was being wheeled to the first aid station, which put a downer on the whole experience. I also received a somewhat chilly reception from a couple of my vendors...I'm a tiny customer, so I get it, but they made it clear they don't care about tiny customers. I can't blame them when the exhibit space costs thousands of dollars for the tiniest booth. Still a great show. #Hobbies #Technology Sun, 06 Apr 2025 23:40:39 -0700 zerosugar from private IP Reply #15723232 that’s so sad about the old man. i looked up the event online. seems it mostly attracts people in tech. i get nervous at big conventions like that. cannot imagine going to such a large event in Vegas which is already chaotic. unfortunate some of those vendors only care about high volume clients. hope at least there were some cool demonstrations and good people watching.

I found something I actually need, which is a 8K HDR broadcast monitor (takes a 8K input signal in HDR and downsamples it to 4K while preserving everything else). I saw a ton of cinema gear, including at the RED booth where they had actors in a mock bar playing darts and shooting pool so that folks could see the different cinematic broadcast looks on different camera configurations. I checked in with my vendors and spent a few hours on the show floor. I'm done after two days, no joke. It is just too much for an end user who is not in the industry. Maybe I'll offer a presentation next year on the Trial Laboratory and its use for broadcasting private trials. Mon, 07 Apr 2025 13:04:30 -0700 whiteguyinchina from private IP Reply #18450970 Cool. My brother was talking up this event, said it was the biggest in the industry. Kinda like CES.

There were at least two million square feet of exhibits across three gigantic exhibit halls, and probably 100,000 visitors this year. It's unbelievable how big the show is. My mind was blown.

I mean like 20 monitors and CIA looking people around who kindly escorted us out.Replies require login.
