Yet this mainstay of the video game scene has been challenged by a new category - hardware that is designed for and made to enhance specific games and genres. And nowhere was this more evident than at E3 2009.  In part 1 we discussed the games, check out part 2; the hardware.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:10:00 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/electronic-entertainment-expo-e3-part-2-great-hardware</guid><category>Trade Show Coverage</category><category>News &amp; Opinion</category></item><item><title>Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) Part 1: Great Games</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/the-electronic-entertainment-expo-part-1-great-games</link><description>Let me start by confessing that I never liked video games because they taught hand/eye coordination or social skills - I liked playing them because they were fun. So the opportunity to attend E3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center was irresistible. Even more so because the nonsense of trying to turn it into a business event over the last two years was rolled back so that glitz and glamor could once again lead the way.  And why not? Times may be tough but games touch on so many genres that there’s sure to be something for everyone. Which explains why the video gaming industry has continued to be so profitable through the years.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/the-electronic-entertainment-expo-part-1-great-games</guid><category>Trade Show Coverage</category><category>News &amp; Opinion</category></item><item><title>Shooting People in 3D: Speeding up the Stereoscopic Workflow</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/people-in-3d</link><description>Wonder why the 3D in the movie theaters or on the TV seems to be almost totally focused on animation? I hadn’t - until I attended this hands on, working demo on 3D put on by SpectSoft. By watching the stereoscopic workflow, I could see just how incredibly time consuming and laborious the process is when people are the ones in front of the camera. But I also learned how SpectSoft’s stereo capture and playback tools can not only speed up the process of shooting people in 3D, but aid in saving time and money as well.

With over 10,000 unique weekly visitors going to the Sony BD-Live Portal, and how every disc from June moving forward will have BD-Live as an integral part, it looks like BD-Live is here to stay.  Check out the cool interactive features such as interactive chat and quizes that will surely  bring a new level of enjoyment to how you watch and interact with your favorite movies in glorious hi definition audio and video.</description><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2009 02:31:55 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/sony-bd-live</guid><category>Trade Show Coverage</category><category>News &amp; Opinion</category></item><item><title>Audioholics 2008 Expo Music Video</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/audioholics-2008-expo-music-video</link><description>While we're on the topic of trade shows... we put together a music video which summarizes some of the highlights of this year's 2008 Audioholics State of the CE Union Event &amp; Expo.

For those of you unfamiliar with Audio Precision, they are the world’s leading manufacturer of high end audio test equipment.

The AV8003 and MM8003 are the first of the newly redesigned line of AV receivers and processors which borrow some of the cosmetic stylings from their Reference line. Dubbed the M1 chassis, the new design is also designed to better dissipate heat and reduce vibrations. Audyssey auto-calibration is include and so it XM and HD Radio. Balanced outputs are available on the AV8003 and a digital media player is included to allow consumers to stream content from a PC, Escient or NAS drive to the home theater. The system not only does audio, but also plays video from networked storage.</description><pubDate>Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:09:28 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/marantz-new-products-interview</guid><category>Videos</category><category>Trade Show Coverage</category></item><item><title>Audyssey Dynamic Volume Interview</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/audyssey-dynamic-volume-interview</link><description>We interviewed Chris Kyriakakis at the 2008 Audioholics Expo about the new Audyssey Dynamic Volume which is appearing in Denon and Onkyo receivers this year (and some others as well). The new technology allows consumers to listen to their multichannel audio and movies at levels far below reference levels without missing out on important surround sound information, or getting blown away by peak sound effects. The technology works by adjusting dynamics with multi-channel sources in mind - and in a way that preserves the intended mix. It also takes care of the excessive volume associated with hyper-compressed television commercials and varying source levels. Once Audyssey is set, it takes care of the rest, no matter what volume level you are listening at.</description><pubDate>Mon, 03 Nov 2008 07:36:16 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/audyssey-dynamic-volume-interview</guid><category>Videos</category><category>Trade Show Coverage</category></item><item><title>Dolby TrueHD Dolby Volume Interview at 2008 Audioholics Expo</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/dolby-truehd-dolby-volume-interview</link><description>Craig Eggers, Senior Manager of Dolby Labs, speaks with us at the 2008 Audioholics Expo event in Orlando, Florida and discusses Dolby TrueHD as well as the new Dolby Volume which promises to revolutionize the way consumers listen to home theater and multi-channel music in their living rooms. In particular, Dolby Volume allows better sound reproduction of multi-channel movie and music content without losing surround channel information and eliminating the "pumping and breathing" artifacts so commonly found in typical 'loudness' controls.</description><pubDate>Sun, 02 Nov 2008 06:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/dolby-truehd-dolby-volume-interview</guid><category>Videos</category><category>Trade Show Coverage</category></item><item><title>Imaging Science Foundation Overview</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/imaging-science-foundation-overview</link><description>Joel Silver of the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) spoke at the 2007 Audioholics State of the C.E.

When generating a cable list for your home theater it's important to consider not only what your devices are, but length, signal type and intended use - both now and future. Failure to consider all options can result in a misconfiguration and lots of work down the road.</description><pubDate>Fri, 10 Oct 2008 05:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/home-theater-wiring-why-it-matters</guid><category>Videos</category><category>Trade Show Coverage</category></item><item><title>Building Better Bass Traps by Ready Acoustics</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/building-bass-traps-ready-acoustics</link><description>Scott R.

Lights, noise and chatter from the crowd filled my senses and elevated my expectations even higher. Music filled my ears as I grew closer. Anticipation escalated and I could barely resist at this point. I felt like just pushing everyone around me out of the way, but that would only create more havoc and delay my vision.

These are essentially a two-piece, modular version of the T-30LSE which allows for a more manageable cabinet size for the low and high drivers. The dual 10-inch subwoofers can now be purchased separately as well (1010-SE/R) and the entire system is much easier to physically ship and manipulate into a home theater or two-channel listening installation. The RBH Sound demo was configured into an 11.2 surround configuration to match with Yamaha's desired DSP settings.  </description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Oct 2007 00:53:02 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/2007-ce-union-rbh-interview</guid><category>Videos</category><category>Trade Show Coverage</category></item><item><title>2007 State of the CE Union Epson Interview  </title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/2007-ce-union-epson-interview</link><description>Kevin Miller, independent consultant for Epson America and President of ISFTV, sat with us and discussed the newest 1080p projector from Epson.

They have proven their ability to do a tremendous amount of research into electronics and loudspeaker design to begin with - a new line of speakers was a logical progression. The new LCR speakers ($299 ea.) are built such that the dispersion and polar response are designed identically in either vertical or horizontal positions. This means that the front and center channel speakers are identical and have the same tonality which blends perfectly across the soundstage.  Their new subwoofer system sports 2 12" sealed high excursion subwoofers and an 800 watt external amp with room correction for an amazingly low price of $999 for the whole system.  Emotiva is gonna cause quite a stir on the net once these products are released.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Oct 2007 13:03:00 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/2007-ce-union-emotiva-interview</guid><category>Videos</category><category>Trade Show Coverage</category></item><item><title>2007 State of the CE Union Dolby Labs and AIX Records Interview</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/2007-ce-union-dolby-aix-interview</link><description>Clint DeBoer interviews Craig Eggers of Dolby Laboratories and Mark Waldrep of AIX Records at the 2007 Audioholics State of the CE Union Show in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Topics included the first ever showing of Dolby Labs new proposed 7.1 format with 'height' channels. AIX Records provided custom mixes to demo this new format and we talk about various surround formats and their impact on the listening experience. Discrete 7.1 is a new format that has really been made more relevant by the new HD-DVD formats and Dolby is excited about using that to its fullest.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Oct 2007 12:41:29 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/2007-ce-union-dolby-aix-interview</guid><category>Videos</category><category>Trade Show Coverage</category></item><item><title>2007 State of the CE Union Axiom Audio Interview</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/2007-ce-union-axiom-interview</link><description>Gene DellaSala interviews Ian Colquhoun and Tom Cumberland on the new A1400-8 amplifier and the new EP400 subwoofer. Axiom Audio loaded up their demo room with 4 EP400s as well as 4 EP600s in order to show that additional subwoofers can even out bass response - and that a smaller subwoofer can and will sound the same as a large subwoofer in a smaller room. We can attest to this fact as the EP400s and EP600s were switched back and forth and there was not much difference between the two in the demo room.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Oct 2007 12:40:47 -0000</pubDate><guid>/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/2007-ce-union-axiom-interview</guid><category>Videos</category><category>Trade Show Coverage</category></item><item><title>Audioholics 9th Annual State of the CE Union Show Report</title><link>http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/audioholics-show-report</link><description>On October 6th in Clearwater Beach, Florida, Audioholics hosted its 9th Annual State of the CE Union event which was opened to the public for the very first time in its history.
