Two Other Panasonic Home Theater Goods

Two Other Panasonic Home Theater Goods 04/06/2005 06:01 PM

While we’re on the topic of Panasonic, I’ll also mention two other new home theater products from the company.

The “SC-HT06” is a 2.1ch audio system with Dolby Virtual Speaker (DVS) technology. This is to fool you into thinking you have a real surround sound setup. The amplifier is provides a total 300W of output, and has three digital inputs: two optical and one coaxial.

“Dual Amp” technology is the focus of the “SA-XR55” amplifier, meaning you can provide twice the amount of power to your speakers. It has features out the wazoo: 7.1ch audio, 192kHz sampling all the way from input to output, and improvement of mid-range tones using “VGDA” (Variable Gain Digital Amplifier). You’ll probably find a crapload of things to like about the SA-XR55, assuming you can afford the 55,000 yen price tag.

The next time you uprgrade your PC or buy an LCD monitor, make sure it has a DVI connection.  Here's why.

A good place to start a screen (LCD, Plasma, etc.) selection process is to determine which screen size fits your viewing angle.  Here's a simple guide.

Hush Technologies Announces ATX MCE Home
Theater PC 08/30/2004 08:08 AM

Hush Technologies has announced a new version of their fanless home entertainment computer, this time called the ATX MCE (for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005). Besides the addition of the new OS, it doesn't look as if it's terribly different from any of the older ATX versions, all of which were pretty nice to begin with, with up to 400GB of on-board storage, some flavor of Radeon, TV Tuner, 6 channel audio, and WiFi and Bluetooth options. They're nice looking boxes, too, ready-made to fit right in with the rest of your AV equipment.

Hush hasn't made the announcement on their site yet (which just always boggles me; why send out a release to websites if you aren't driving traffic back to your home page?), but you can take a look at the existing models. They're basically the same, hardware-wise.

JVC TH-SW5 Home Theater System with
Wireless Rears

JVC TH-SW5 Home Theater System with
Wireless Rears 08/03/2004 09:03 AM

JVC has a new set of home theater systems out in Japan that transmit sound to the read speakers wireless via radio; a radio that, unfortunately, broadcasts on the 2.4GHz spectrum -- the same frequency as Wi-Fi. The TH-SW5 otherwise looks like a solid system, but perhaps another model at 5GHz or 900MHz would be optimal. Or maybe -- stay with me -- user selectable frequency. There aren't plans to release it here, though, to my knowledge, but I'd hate to be the Japanese consumer who has to choose between their network and their speakers.

My dream wireless speakers receive audio and power through a fixed microwave beam. If you couldn't navigate through the matrix of flesh-searing invisible conduits, you wouldn't be worthy to watch the extended edition of Groundhog Day.

Sencore Electronics is sponsoring a five day “Maximizing Home Theater Performance” certification seminar in Dallas, Texas. In this seminar you will learn what makes a good home theater, including pitfalls to avoid, check lists to follow, and ways to build your installation business. You’ll learn how the entire room ambiance including the video image, sound quality, room acoustics, and RF distribution are as much a part of the home theater environment as the electronic components themselves. Plus, you’ll receive extensive hands on training on how to efficiently use the right tools, and make measurements that eliminate guesswork and subjective decisions. [PRWEB Jan 27, 2005]

Nvidia's PureVideo promises home theater
video quality 12/22/2004 01:23 AM
Nvidia today announced the availability of PureVideo. The technology is designed to accelerate MPEG 2 and high-definition content on computer systems equipped with an Nvidia graphics card carrying a GeForce 6-series processor.

The company has been talking about PureVideo for quite a while now, since the introduction of the GeForce 6800 back in April of this year, to be exact. However the enabling software was missing so far. Now, Nvidia has the driver package in place and promises to take video quality on the PC to the next level. PureVideo is based on a programmable video processing engine integrated in GeForce 6-series graphics processors. According to Nvidia, the feature "eliminates the need for separate hardware or chipsets and takes the load off the PC's multi-purpose CPU to deliver to consumers, high-quality video playback at resolutions up to 720p and 1080i".

IBM Keyboards Still Clackering

IBM Keyboards Still Clackering 06/22/2005 01:57 AM

So this will probably only interest me, but one of my favorite tech writers, Dan from Dan's Data, has written a comprehensive overview of one of my all-time favorite products, the IBM "Clickety Clicker" Keyboard (the ones with the buckling-spring technology). I recently just retired my IBM for a wireless Logitech model, and while I've been pretty happy with the new setup, I'd still give it all up for a wireless IBM keyboard, I think.

Or gosh, a Bluetooth IBM Clickerty with a cradle for my mobile phone. I'm getting goosebumps.

The Rise Of Alternative Keyboards

The Rise Of Alternative Keyboards 07/22/2004 12:57 PM
As we go increasingly mobile, the question of shrinking the keyboard inevitably comes up. There have been all different concepts from the standard tiny thumb keyboard to things like Digit Wireless' Fast Tap technology which sneaks letter keys in between the number keys on a phone keypad. Michael Kanellos at News.com is now messing around with the FrogPad, the one handed portable keyboard that uses "chords" (combinations of keys) to type quickly. The biggest worry most people have is that if they already know how to touch type on a QWERTY keyboard, learning something entirely new will be difficult. He finds that there is, indeed, a noticeable learning curve, but with a little practice you can pick it up pretty quickly. The question, though, is whether or not enough people will want to go through that learning process.

IT might not be so bad I suppose, but reports are that it just “feels” weird, thus hindering any productive use.

Unwashable keyboards full of germs

Unwashable keyboards full of germs 04/12/2005 03:56 AM
Cory Doctorow: Keyboards harbor germs. Shared keyboards harbor other people's germs. Shared keyboards in hospitals harbor other people's disgusting, potentially fatal super-bug germs. PCs are just about the only non-disposable, non-washable things that live in hospital wards and operating theaters, and they are never, ever clean. <eyes Powerbook keyboard distrustfully, posts blog-entry with a pencil-eraser, compulsively washes hands for rest of night>

"The difficulty with keyboards is you can't pour bleach on them," Dr. Allison McGeer, an infection control specialist from Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital, tells The Canadian Press. "They don't work so well when you do that.''

She noted another Toronto-area hospital had to throw out their keyboards when it was battling an outbreak of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, or VRE.

"We could not get the keyboards clean," McGeer says.
