That reminds me of that new monitor standard Apple is championing... UDI, wasn't it? And didn't it support insanely high bandwidth monitors?
Hmmmmmm... we're on to something here. I would say that this WILL happen, but maybe not as soon as April.
p0intblank said:Does this mean we won't be seeing any Cinema Display revisions next week?
hahahahaha
Yeah, somehow I think that this won't stop Cinema Display revisions - this would just be added on.
That is, of course, assuming that Apple wants to revise its displays at all.
hyperpasta said:
Well I hope they DO revise them... I've been wanting their 23" display for a little while, but I want the specs to be upped a little.
the silver fox said:
Ahh nice research silver fox but a 50 inch cinema display for even $10,000 would be a bargain considering that there isn't anything on the consumer TV market in CRT, LCD, or plasma that cant do much of anything above 1920x1080. This FCE rig would be something I think about after my dual g4 dies and I'll have clients interested in not only doing HD work but 2K or 4K blowups. Jim's RED camera isn't supposed to be out until late 2006 at the earliest. So I'm in no rush to jump on one these systems yet but I will be watching NAB.

Combine this rumor about a freaking humongous monitor with this piece:
Hmmmmmm...
Emphasis added. The article says the 1.0 spec should be ready by 2Q06. That's April.
Hmmmmmm...
HO-LY-SMOKE!!!!! :OOOO
Seriously, to me Final Cut Pro 5 is already a good enough cheap alternative to Avid Media Composer or Lightworks. Having a sub- $10,000 Avid/Lightworks killer that run son my new Dual Core PowerMac G5 will be just INCREDIBLE! WOW!
And I got 2 NAB passes already!
P.S. Anyone read that: "[....] to support 4520x2540 resolution of an upcoming 3rd party digital video camera.
Man, would that be a High-end, Viper-like camera to work on FCP Extreme, or a more afordable one supported in both Final Cut Pro?!
2006 will continue to prove Apple's leadership in the video editing field...

Not research, just what one of the Truelight systems I've used was hooked to one of those bad boys. They paid big dollar for that though.
Mmmmmm..... Truelight.
It's name...
Well..
It'd be a big huge thing that I couldn't possibly pick up by myself... Def. wouldn't want it on my lap...
It'd prob almost hurt to look at... (if you couldn't afford one ;-) )
It'd just sit there, looking untouchable...
I name this monitor, this one monitor...

Well, my laptop is named Alyssa ;-)

I think I can feel the wind from all the excited "Propeller Heads" from here!
Maybe we should harness this wind power somehow?

ThinkSecret reports that Apple will be showing off some new products at the National Association of Broadcasters this year which takes place April 22-27, 2006 in Las Vegas.
According to the rumor site, the new products include Final Cut Pro 6, Final Cut Extreme and Xserve RAID Extreme.
Final Cut Pro 6 is said to include 5.1 surround sound editing, 1080/24p and 1080/30p DVCPROHD support. Even fewer details are available about Final Cut Extreme which is said to be "an extremely high end version of its video editing software" and is targeted at current Avid users. The new software will require the highest end hardware and be priced close to $10,000.
Also hinted at is a larger Cinema Display to support 4520x2540 resolution of an upcoming digital video camera.

OR, $50 less for users of Final Cut Express
Very nice, very nice *standing ovation*
I vote this post of the week.

A human arm, hopefully.
But seriously though, I believe he is Darth Vader who uses the *cough*force*cough, I mean RDF on the audience.
A 50+ LCD screen, can you imagine the size of the dock and menu bar. That thing will cause neck strain, and I do not even want to imagine the amount of heat output and electrical input required for that thing. That is a big screen tv people. I though the 30" was big, I cannot even imagine this thing on a desk. I want one.
Apple is trying to up Dell.
does it have to be a display?
what about a powerful projector?
or can they even go up to resolutions that high... i dunno
FCP 6 sounds nice but extreme sounds to hardcore

FCP6 and FCExt, hmm I believe the differences will be 7.1 SS editing. Along with 1080p for streaming over AW and Internet. Along with some other goodies, such as true RT rendering with multiple 1080p imaging insert at full clarity playback.
And Maya3D integration. hoping.

I can take it off your hands if you like.
ZorPrime said:If true, it's nice to see high end, 1080, HD progressive scan editing features.
What do you mean? I'm sure DVD SP will get updated as needed as well.
I assume FC Extreme (btw, this whole "extreme" naming thing is getting a bit dated, and a bit gimmicky for pro gear, IMO) will be some sort of high end finishing/compositing NLE. Something to compete w/Avid's DS Nitris line maybe?

Keep in mind, Arriflex has been making laser film etchers running at 4k for years and 2k/4k cameras were being tested while George Lucas was shouting his head off about our already obsolete consumer standard, 1080i. the prototypes were running for between $1m and $5m according to the rumor mills. The 'high price' on the RED really isn't that much different than a Panavision 35mm. You can't even buy those from the company, they're lease only, but the bodies are insured against theft and breakage for around 250k. this display and editing system might sound like overkill to some of you guys but film has been waiting for it for years.
the industry has been trying to deal with the bandwidth issues coming from uncompressed color in 4k (i believe the numbers i was reading three years ago were in the realm of 1.5 gigs a second) which certainly screams to the need for a much better storage solution than apple currently provides. don't forget people, Avid's Unity system runs closer to $100,000 for a basic setup and ran off of LVD SCSI last I checked. I guess one could always go out and buy a Smoke system for a cool $250k to get an off-the-shelf 4k editor, but even if you pinch your pennies and buy a Nitris these things aren't cheap.
Coming in with a full system, including hardware and software, for under $40k is a market killer. It's not a market killer I'll ever have in my home but the competition has certainly been living in fear of this moment for the last 2 years. My vote is Microsoft buys Avid within the next 18 months to bail them out of bankruptcy and prevent Apple from cornering the entire professional video market as Mac-only.

What about Airport MegaExtremeUltra that's faster than fiber so everything can be wireless.
