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.

Wireless Rears

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.

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.

02/01/2005 08:46 PMSencore 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

Nvidia's PureVideo promises home theater

Nvidia's PureVideo promises home theater
video quality
12/22/2004 01:23 AMNvidia 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".

Accupix MPG-230M:VR Theater
09/22/2004 04:23 PM
Just when you thought it was safe to put that black
leather trench coat and shiny mylar shirt back in the closet, a
company called Accupix launches a new "virtual theater" display called
MPG-230M. The glasses, when worn, simulate a 30-inch screen viewed
from about 6 feet away, but sadly only accept a composite video input.
The native resolution of the glasses is 800 x 225 pixels, which is a
little bit better than the Glasstrons and the like from the '90s.
No word if the MPG-230M will be available for purchase any time
soon, at least here in the US. Korean importers might be the place to
start looking.

the International

called an Actroid.
The Actroid is a female, humanoid robot that can blink her eyes,

apparently requires an external, 3.7kW compressor. The company has
previously shown stylized, animtronic
karakuri dolls that dance during a robotic museum exhibition.

Air travel "security" as theater of the
absurd
Air travel "security" as theater of the
absurd
01/22/2004 12:46 PMUS air-travel security is becoming more and more of a performance of
the absurd, as this very good blog-post on Idle Words, inspired by the
new "No queueing up for the in-flight pissoir rule" points out:
How is this measure in any way enforceable? Is the pilot expected to
divert the flight? Perform a barrel roll at the first sign of a pee
queue? And how, exactly, is the sight of multiple passengers
simultaneously lunging from their seats towards a suddenly available
lavatory an attractive alternative to having a little group milling
about by one of the galleys?
I was filled with curiousity to see if the pilot would perform an
emergency landing at Reykjavik after the meal service, but of course
(inevitably) everyone just ignored the directive, and let the
passengers empty their bladders in peace. On an eight-hour flight with
free alcohol and predominantly Russian passengers, there was just no
other solution.
