National Mobile Television CEO believes 2003 is the "Year of the Revolution"
At a conference in New York sponsored by Thomson/Grass Valley, National Mobile Television CEO Mark Howorth laid down the gauntlet for HD remote production. In his electrifying speech, the CEO of the company that supplies all the trucks for ABC -- including all the trucks for the recent Super Bowl broadcast -- explains his company's philosophy about the HDTV revolution, and describes how and why he's placing a huge bet on the new technology. Here's the full text of his remarks.
New release offers enhanced interoperability, usability
Discreet released new versions of inferno, flame and flint, updating its visual effects systems to versions 5, 8 and 8 respectively.

Here's his first hand, day-of-release report.

Panasonic’s AG-DVX100 24P camcorder
Very few products have had the kind of pre-release frenzy as Panasonic’s AG-DVX100 24P DV camcorder. Given the technology involved, it is easy to understand the excitement. After all, the Panasonic AG-DVX100 is the first 24-frames-per-second progressive-scan DV camcorder available for $3,800. (Currently the next 24P camcorder price tag starts at around $60,000 and keeps going). Because of the demand for the product, Panasonic could lend me an AG-DVX100 for only two weeks, which is probably just as well. During those two weeks I shot over 17 hours of footage using the camera to shoot outdoor scenes, on-location interviews and a theatrical event.

The DVD market continues to expand rapidly
The DVD market has seen over three years of stupendous growth, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The technology has caught the imagination and interest of consumers. DVD set-top box players have boomed in sales due to the price-elasticity of this segment. As of December, 2002 the average selling price of DVD players has fallen from $504 in July 1998 to $129 in major retail outlets, and some units are going for as low as $59. In the year 2003, the overall DVD market is poised to explode again as DVD enters new markets.
