I spent the weekend in Las Vegas attending the SMPTE-sponsored Digital Cinema Summit, and as usual, found it a very interesting and worthwhile event. This event, which occurs just prior to the opening of NAB, covers more than just digital cinema, and includes content creation, mastering and post-production, distribution, standards, home-based displays and even future 3D displays. As expected, there were a lot of discussions around 3D. But perhaps the most interesting take away for me were the demos organized by ETC and CableLabs.
