Apple NAB Media Event Invites

can i get an AMEN!

I predict no new computers till Leopard is released. Once that is out we will see a completely new lineup, everything is ready for an upgrade.

I hope you're right about this. As much as I want a new mac right now my MBP is doing quite well by me at the moment. I think It would be amazing to see Final Cut Studio 6 now, Leopard sometime in May and then a COMPLETE overhaul of all the systems (or at least the pro line) at the WWDC in June. That would be ridiculous!! Imagine an event where 2 (or more) new systems were introduced. Talk about a rush!! lol I think it's sad that new apple products make me so happy. I guess i'm the ultimate consumer.

that's all:apple:
 
Apple is already on board with blu ray

Apple normally likes to get ahead of the game but I think the battle between blu-ray and HD-DVD is too close to call for them to fully support one format but i would love to see a high-def format in a Mac! :p

I believe that apple is on the board of directors for the blu-ray format. Seems like they've already chosen a side.

that's it:apple:
 
what about the new iMacs suggested by AI? the one with new design.

eh...probably not.

i am going with new displays (HDMI compatible) and Mac Pro. FCS is a certainty.


you know what? finally nobody is saying Powerbook G5.

afaiaa, apple are visbibly contributing to both formats, i cant be bothered to find the evidence to back this up, but it is there if you look for it.

we're still wondering who'll be beta-maxed.

I'm also curious about people who are crying for Leopard to show up so they can get a new something or other.

Why? Do you really want your brand-spankin-new hardware to come with a fresh *.0 OS, complete with bleeding edge bugs? When you could get brand-spankin-new hardware with Tiger whose troubles are largely worked out by now, enjoy it for half a year, and buy Leopard in the fall/winter after it's had a few months to have any of its own major problems ironed out.

What silly arguments, by that same token "Do you want to buy spanking new Rev A hardware?"

Apple doesn't care. They will do what it takes to maximize sales. If you think people will hold back just because of the .0 software release you must be living on a different rock.

1. You are going to buy it eventually, who else you buying from? Dell?
2. Even if it is buggy, so what? Just download updates for it.
 
This definitely Final Cut 6

The invitation graphics are built with the same balck background with colored lens flares as all Final Cut Studio box slip covers.

I hope they fixed the media manger!
 
NAB = National Association of Broadcasters
I went to the one in NYC last fall, it is all professionals that network with each other and look at the new and upcoming technology from companies (incase you didn't already know).

What is for sure:

- New Final Cut Studio
- New Mac Pros, topping out with 8 cores, starting with 4 cores

Possible:

- New Cinema Displays
- Final Cut Express Update
- iLife '07
- iWork '07
- New Mac Pros including a bundled iSight w/ built in IR receiver + Remote

Unlikely:

- New MacBook Pro's
- New iMacs
- New iSight + Remote combo

Or they could just announce the Mac Pro's at NAB along with FCS and have them shipping right after the Leopard release? :rolleyes:

Why do you think iLife and iWork will be announce there?
These are consumer apps and there is no relationship at all to professionals and film and video folks.

Apple is a member of the DVD Forum and joined the BDA BoD because they plan to support both with authoring tools.

If some of you followed video a bit closer you'd have known that DVD Studio Pro 4 has supported a basic subset of HD DVD (MPEG2, 15GB images) authoring. Also of note the DVD SP 4 update to 4.1.2 adds support for h.264 and improves the muxing and adds Dolby Digital encoding as well.

Apple is clearly in both camps for good reason. It makes more financial sense. I expect them to add Blu-ray authoring and beef up HD DVD authoring at NAB.

Mac Pro Octo a given!

I doubt Apple will delay sales of Mac Pro just for Leopard.

Apple in the past would just release the hardware if it is ready and include an upgrade coupon for newer OS if it was going to be coming out in the next month or so. That way Apple gets all of the sales immediately and people aren't on the fence waiting for Leopard before they buy hardware.

Dell and others have had Octo systems available since January. Apple had the luxury of keeping a slower than industry update cycle in the past because there was no real way to measure hardware performance issues without getting into the PPC vs. x86 debate.

However now that Apple is x86 they do have to attempt to keep somewhat competitive. They do not neccesarily have to be first out with the new hardware but they surely don't want to be known as being 6 months to a year behind the rest of the industry.

LOL, I'm on the INTERNET!

Hi Mom!

Congratulations! I mean really though, what's your point? Is this some clever way to boast about how you heard about this even a week ago and had already registered to it and the expo?
Click to expand...

As long as I have been on MacRumors, the site has been about enthusiasm for the Mac platform. I just read his post as being very enthusiastic and wanting to share that with everyone. He's right to do so. I don't appreciate you trying to douse that or being rude--something that I see very little of on MR and would like to keep it that way.

If you want to mock or flame people, try Fark. This is not the right place for it.

I Registered Last Week And Wasn't Invited. I Have My Ticket Printed Out. I'm also pre-registered for the expo. But the $300 in gas and/or motel expense, depending on which vehicle I took, I would have to spend to get there and back is going to keep me from going thanks to the internet.

Hmm. I know Multimedia types in a rather odd way.

But do you know that you're patronising someone who hung out with Buckminister Fuller, Steve Jobs, Alan Toffler, and probably the Woz too?

He was using Apples before most of us were out of short trousers, and no doubt the rarefied atmosphere around all these creative genuises has has a certain effect on him :)

Nevertheless, he deserves our respect and acceptance.

That would depend on how Apple engineered it. Very well might be the next MP was engineered around Leopard's 64-bit support and that it CAN'T run on anything lower than 10.5. I agree that Apple or any company would not delay a product for the sake of delaying it, but I suspect there are legit reasons why we won't see actual product until Leopard goes GM at the earliest.
 
What about music software at NAB? :confused:

Will we see the release of Logic Pro 8 in the near future?:eek:

Will they ever drop a quad chip into the 17" MacBook Pro?:eek:

Sorry, but the release of the new TV didn't do it for me... :(

I concurr. Multimedia is one of the most dedicated posters here. At least his post related to the event, whereas yours was just an uncalled for bitch trip
 
Lets go Apple...the whole Mac and iPod line up is a bit "stale" iPod shuffle is fine and Nano, but the Mini, Pro, and iPod 5.5G are all a bit dated. Plus 10.5 , iWork and iLife would be nice!


And then you can slowly update MacBook and MacBook Pro, and by MidMay hopefully a new iMac design
 
Would Anyone Let Me Sleep On Their Floor At NAB?

So now are you blaming the internet you are no longer special? Thus making the event/expo not worth the $300 or so it would cost to get there and back?

Or

You're just saying it cost to much to go? My guess is it's the first one, because of the addition of "thanks to the internet."

My guess, again, is that you are probably one of the handful that would vote this as negative news?

But hey, these are just guesses I don't want to ASS-U-ME.
Click to expand...
Yeah you read it backwards. Guessed 100% wrong. I wasn't blaming the internet. I was thanking the internet LITERALLY - NOT SARCASM. :eek: Because of the Internet we don't really need to go to these shows anymore like I did full time in the 90's. So I meant it as a good thing.

It's the latter - the expense I'd rather not incurr.

Negative news? Now you've really got me stumped. What is negative about anything happening here? Are you Kidding? This is one of the most POSITIVE times in the history of the Mac. You certainly did totally misinterpret my meanings. :rolleyes:

I am now asking anyone here who is going if I may please sleep on your floor? I can drive my 40mpg car for about $120 RT. $300 was gas for my RV which I deem too much. Would anyone entertain letting me sleep on your floor there?

If so please PM me. Thanks.
 
Don't be haters... but... I just don't get Steve Jobs... it is one thing to build healthy tension; it is another thing to be so mysterious that you leave your Mac Computer fans hanging.

At least Spectrasonics has a page dedicated to its users who are looking for the day that Trilogy Bass and Atmosphere will be Universal compatible. The president addresses questions and tells die-hards to be patient, that updates are taking time, but it will pay off in the end.

I'll be really upset if it takes until September 07 to update the 24" imacs or 17" MBPs. :mad:
