Topic: My dream theater

[danrd]

Sir Mark thanks a lot again for the invite. You don't realize how happy you made everyone.  

[alvinh]

Isa pa naisip ko is to have a lecture, with Q&A. Possible lectures:
1. NMT's, downloading, etc. -- Richie See of eHome
2. Audio & video calibration and tweaking -- AV Driver technician (sila rin gumawa ng acoustics ng HT sa Sta Rosa)

These are great ideas Sir Mark. Specially with the current trend after the EB at your place.
Maybe we can also go over the features of NMTs and how to maximize its use.
Since we have different levels of set-ups, it will also help if we can go over the "ideal" AQ and PQ. Though subjective in nature, they can be considered as reference points.
Maybe we can already come up with a pre-determined set of questions limited to audio/video calibration and tweaking to be discussed there at the EB?
Acoustics/Room treatment/Speaker placement may also help since they play a big role in sound improvement.

Thanks Sir!

Early Christmas treat

Yes Iiinas, was serious about the sincerity. too bad medyo layo. Nice to meet you last EB.

Sir Jim,  will try the oyster cake if ever i get the chance.

Sorry Sir Streetsmart, but you truly made everyone who came enjoy... visually, audibly, and gastronomically   I don't think the chateau los boldos lasted 2 minutes

Yup, the last time I remember, you were trying to find out how to steal my concert dvd's ... 

[streetsmart]

Great idea sir mark! since most of the guys are both audio and video philes this would help a lot! The new and affordable DVDO edge looks promising but how will it compare to you v50? That's another shoot out provided we can loan one from I dont know who.

The Edge has most of the features of the VP50Pro. Its just less flexible. You can't do a comparison because they are practically the same. And since the Edge is 20% of the cost of the VP50Pro, its selling like hotcakes right now.

Thanks Sir!

Let me talk to these potential lecturers and see if I can convince them to do it. Then we can plan things out in more detail.

After watching Iron Man and Vantage Point (both 1080p!) on the Egreat 31b, my thoughts:

The big advantage of this model is that it has a USB slave, which means that you can plug it to your PC and manipulate the files through the PC.

It also has a USB port at the back so cabling is neater. Ang Popcorn 100 kasi ay nasa harap lang ang USB port.

Response is much faster than before. I think that's mainly cuz of the firmware update.

Start-up time is still slow. Parang PC sya.

Now you can switch it off. Popcorn 100 kasi, walang Off button. Standby lang.

The remote is better. Ganda shape nya - more ergonomic. Piano finish. But basically, the remote still sucks. The play/pause/stop buttons should have different shapes. It's very easy to press the stop and then that's the end of you kasi wala syang Resume. Hahanapin mo kung saan ka nag-stop.

Mas gwapo rin dating nya. Pangit ng Popcorn.

For me, the biggest problem is the noise of the fan. Maingay. I sit about 7 feet from the unit and at that distance, tolerable na ang noise. If you sit maybe 3 feet away, it's really noisy.

Overall, its pretty good. But if you are seated close to it, it's way too noisy.

And by the way, the movies were great! No stutters. No drop-outs. A lot of detail. Jaw-dropping.

I just talked to Richie See of eHome. I had previously met Richie at their store and we spent a lot of time chatting about NMT's. He has been actively working with all the various NMT's since March of this year. He has done a lot of experimentation. Basically, I think it would be safe to say that he is one of the most knowledgeable persons in the country, when it comes to NMT's. He is also a very nice guy.

He is willing to participate in the EB, not to sell but to educate everyone on NMT's. He will set-up a network, do a Powerpoint, explain basic stuff like the various kinds of movie files, how to download, his vision of the future with a networked home, etc. Obviously, may Q&A session din.

What do you guys think? Will this be a good agenda for the EB? Of course, kasama na rin sa EB ang usual stuff - watching reference clips, eating, drinking, chatting, bolahan, kodakan, testing of sound absorbers ... We can also show differences between 480p, 720p and 1080p pero wala muna siguro blind test.
