Every significant technology overhaul happens in fits and starts and the transition from film to digital in exhibition has been no exception. And, as with other global technological developments, there have been highlight moments along the way. It will take a few years to be certain but I believe several announcements that came to light last month at ShowEast 2009 in Orlando will come to be seen as major turning points in the ongoing worldwide adoption of digital cinema. Historically important events typically occur with little or no fanfare and the biggest news, in my mind, to come out of ShowEast 2009 is no exception. While it is still not widely known and there will be no formal announcement, it is not a secret: Christie has manufactured its last 35mm projector.
A short set of ramblings, outtakes and scraps, from my 2.0 life. You will notice that too much of the stuff I post and link to relates to the market segments that I have the greatest passion for — pro audio, music & cinema — but I am also a geek in my spare time and I post a lot of 'random' stuff as well.
