Panasonic brought their DMP-BD10A Blu-ray player released earlier this summer, as well as some of their Blu-ray drives for desktop and notebook computers. However, the main attraction at Panasonic was their Premium Blu-ray Theatre featuring 5 large plasma screen HDTV's and 5.1-channel surround sound. In the theatre they were showing HD music videos by a new group called Three Graces, a trio of girls that blend their various backgrounds in Opera, Pop and Broadway to create a new sound. Their debut album will be released in January 22, 2008. We're not exactly sure how they were able to feed different video streams to the plasma screens and keep it perfectly synced, but it was an interesting experience.
domerdel: No, unfortunately we couldn't get to IFA until the last few days and haven't had time to put together the photos and post these summaries online until now. We're still working on getting the final ones including Sony, Samsung and BDA online.
As for CEDIA coverage, Josh which usually posts news is away for a few days right now so that's why there hasn't been any coverage.
the whole 5 tvs and 5 different video streams of the same picture is mind boggling but damn cool!. i guess its the same as wen the ps3 was 1st shown with two hdmi's which split the picture in two. gran turismo looked cool like that, shame they went for one
