CEV-Networx
Booth a Big Hit at BSE-Tourtech
East in Halifax
We
would like to thank everyone who
visited our booth at the "All
Access 2006 Show". It had the
best turnout to date.
It
was an opportunity for audio and
video pros, as well as broadcasters,
schools, colleges and universities
to meet and enjoy hands-on demos
of several leading products such
as Avid Xpress Pro HD on an HP 9200
and Digidesign MBox 2 on a laptop.
We
are looking forward to next year's
edition!

Flat Screen Displays
Choosing Between LCD and Plasma Displays
Flat
panel technology offers new and
exciting ways to broadcast information,
television programs, and HDTV. Both
the plasma and LCD technologies
offer sharp, detailed pictures and
bright, lifelike colors. When deciding
which system to go with, it's helpful
to assess your needs and pick the
display technology that will best
suit your application.
Choose
LCD technology if:
You
display still images or are concerned
about wider screen viewing angles.
You
display video or still images
that require high resolution for
crisp text.
The
environment is often filled with
natural light.
Energy
efficiency is a priority.
Choose
plasma technology if:
You
display constant-motion video
or dynamic multimedia.
You
need real color reproduction such
as broadcast applications.
Larger
screen sizes or low cost per inch
is a priority.
