The CES is the world's largest annual tradeshow for consumer technology products and North America's largest annual tradeshow of any kind. Major product categories included audio, automotive electronics, computers, connected home devices, and more.
LG - The Digital Canvas: Imagination RealizedFMA Summits
Imagine walking through a long tunnel surrounded by magical images floating, or have an endless field of undulating, twisting and turning scenic images greeting you as you emerge to a destination at an airport. Imagine walking around animated corporate messaging in a lobby that is physically changing from convex to concave as it engages. A wafer-thin double-sided display hangs in a museum, gallery or higher education public space conveying changing visitor information. This isn’t the future, it’s now.

The future of television got a test-drive recently in New York City. While consumers around the
globe are just now getting acquainted with the vivid picture quality of high-definition television, or
HDTV, a far more advanced super-high-resolution system is in the works. NHK, Japan's public
broadcaster, is working on what it has dubbed Super Hi-Vision: a TV technology—not expected to
be commercialized for a decade or more—that produces live video with a resolution 16 times that
of today's HDTV and twice that of 70-millimeter movies. The New York City test was recorded for
display at a convention of broadcasters who were meeting in Las Vegas.
Last November, NHK conducted its first live test in the field, when it transmitted an uncompressed
24-gigabit-per-second SHV video signal for several hours, producing a picture with a resolution of
7680 by 4320 pixels. The live video was relayed over 260 kilometers of optical fiber and viewed on
a screen measuring 10 meters by 5.5 meters. The transmission also included a technically swank
audio scheme, with more than 22 channels, to match the video's high resolution. To shoot the live
transmission, the researchers used two custom-built cameras equipped with four 8-megapixel
CMOS sensors.
Months before, NHK had shown off an 8-minute SHV video to visitors at the 2005 World Expo held
near Nagoya, from March to September last year. After postproduction the movie weighed in at
1.4 terabytes and had to be stored on a hard-disk array.
"The typical reaction of the audience was 'Sugoii!' ('Wow!')," says Masaru Kanazawa, a senior
researcher engineer in NHK's Science & Technical Research Laboratories, in western Tokyo. He
says some 1.6 million Expo attendees watched the video, and many were astonished with the
heightened sense of reality it evoked. He attributes this in part to the video's clarity; the system's
wide viewing angle of 100 degrees, as opposed to HDTV's 30 degrees and the 15 degrees for
standard television; and the advanced audio system. "They felt they were a part of the same
scenes," he says.
Despite making such technological progress, NHK's researchers are quick to caution that
commercialization of SHV is years—and maybe decades—away. And there are lots of technical and
political hurdles left to leap. For instance, the company is working to have the format accepted as
an international standard by the International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunications,
which regulates radio spectrum. If an agreement is reached, Kanazawa says the proposed
standard could be published as early as this year, and then member countries would get to vote
on it.
Perhaps a much greater hurdle SHV faces is further developing the technology so that it can be
used for broadcasting. Because of the huge amount of data involved, today it only works over
optical fiber. But NHK is looking t.

We live in a subscriber economy. The only way to deliver motion pictures and television as intended and at scale is to put the human visual system in software. The future is now. Viewer intelligent computers that 'see' and 'behave' like humans.
Myths, Challenges and Advances in Power & Signal Distribution for Live Event ...Bob Vanden Burgt
Digital networking and power distribution requirements have changed substantially in the "live space" over the past decade. The tight integration of lighting, media, video and audio in touring shows continues to present unique challenges with reliability and portability. This session will provide an overview of some of the transport protocols, network topologies, and suggest more contemporary methods for distributing power & data in today's complex and ever-changing production environments.
