Year's-end Blow-out!

Come take a break!

What, no product demo!? That’s right! We knew that you had been swamped with deadlines and pressure; it had been nothing but work, work, work! In recognition of everyone’s exhaustion, the last Editors’ Lounge of 2007 was a casual party. Guests came and recharged and relaxed with their peers! No thinking caps required!

Guests brought their favorite drinks, and we supplied the munchies...

Guests joined us in August for an extra special Editors’ Lounge, where numerous LCD monitor manufacturers were on hand to demonstrate their latest products. Guests entered the darkened Room of Monitors to evaluate for themselves.

As an added treat, we hosted the world premiere unveiling of the new DPX monitors from eCinema. Seeing is believing, and until you see the DPX, you won’t believe that an LCD is capable of producing TRUE black!

Post-NAB Apple Presentation

Demo, Presentation and Q&A

If you thought the March pre-NAB Editors’ Lounge would be a tough act to follow, the April post-NAB Lounge managed to deliver! Why? One word...

Apple

That's right, the folks from Apple Inc. jetted over straight from NAB, to give the Editors’ Lounge Southern California’s first up-close-and-personal look at their NAB 2007 product announcements. Over 80 editors and other post-production professionals were on hand to see a demo of Apple's new Color application, as well as in-depth Keynote presentations on the broadcast and post-production workflows using Final Cut Server and Final Cut Studio 2.

4th Annual Pre-NAB Extravaganza

NAB 2007 - The Experts Predict... Panel Discussion and Q&A

That "most wonderful time of the year" had nearly arrived! That's right, NAB 2007 was just around the corner and Editor's Lounge helped you make the most of your trip to Vegas. Guests got the buzz before the buzz with our panel of experts, who discussed continuing and emerging trends in post-production and what they expected to see (and not see!) on the show floor this year.

This event lived up to the promises to be a lively discussion, as panelists Lucas Wilson (Assimilate), Howard Brock (Runway), Terence Curren (AlphaDogs) and Mark Raudonis (Bunim/Murray Prods.) broke out their crystal balls and attempted to prognosticate on this year's trade show. Guests RSVP'd early to not miss the Pre-NAB Lounge, as it always fills up quickly!!!
