<font color='#000000'>I saw the pics of the new Immersive stuff showed at CEDIA.
Looks cool, but what I find funny is immersives claim to fame was the first (affordable) DCDI video processor from a PCI card.
"Replace your expensive scaler with a Holograph"
Now they want build expensive scalers. They seem to be well on their way to being a high end "exotic" vendor. It also shows the difference between "high end" and everything else is just a brand name. Oh well, it's only a matter of time before someone else moves in to fill the void.
Which brings me to another thought, how long before the really big consumer tech players (MSFT, NVDA, ATI, Dell, INTC) move into this market with convergence products. To be honest I don't see how most HT technology companies are going to last unless they change their business model (AKA planning for 100 points in the MSRP and exclusive dealer sales zones).
The current audio industry distribution model reminds me of the old computer VAR "Channel". Dell took the stupid Value Attenuated Reseller out of the picture and people flocked to them like moths to a light. Outlaw is looking down the right path (to stay alive), they just need more/the right products.
Just a thought or two.</font>
