With CEDIA behind us and some proper sleep I have finally had a moment to reflect on the show. I am so excited that we finally could show the Heimdall projector that has been in the works for so long. Thomas Andersen brought up the idea of building the projector in this very specific way with the RGB engine being one important part of the puzzle. The Heimdall is one of the best images I've ever seen, no matter which projector you compare it to (except Barco Lightsteering). Based on the feedback, I think this goes for many who visited the theatre as well.
I have not been this excited to bring a projector to market in a long time. Did I mention that it is quiet and can be inside a room while still providing 6,000 Lumens at Rec2020!!! See link at the bottom
Projector trend at the show
Sony, JVC, Epson, Christie and Digital Projection were all on the show floor this year, all of them with new models looking to reach higher end theaters. Together we will all help overcome our biggest problem, end-user awareness of what a luxury theatre experience can actually be like. If we help overcome this, there is plenty of room for all of us to grow our businesses substantially.
LED portfolio expansion
I didn't think we could match the feedback we got last year on our Bifrost LED wall 0.9. But this year was just as great, and the NT Vali 1.2 163" took it to another level due to its performance at a new price level, this really created some amazing booth traffic. You know something is right when you see integrators spending their time repeatedly coming back with their integrator friends to show them what they just saw. Another great indicator is when you get a showroom order within hours of the show opening. See link below.
While our products are exciting and great, what makes the biggest difference is our team. I could not ask for any better team members than Lacey Swegan, Andy Jones, David Robledo, Quan Zhao, Bart Devos, Chris Deutsch, Jeff Marks, Mehmet Deniz Kaya.
I'm reminded each year how many amazing industry partners, rep firms and personal friends we have. I greatly value this, this post is long enough and can live without a massive list of tags, you know who you are! Thank you!!!
