DATACOLOR ANNOUNCES COMPREHENSIVE COLOR CALIBRATION OFFERING FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLERS TO GROW THEIR BUSINESS
New SpyderTV PRO Calibration Package and Professional Training Enable Installers to Increase Revenue With Minimal Investment
DENVER, CO - CUSTOM ELECTRONIC DESIGN & INSTALLATION ASSOCIATION (CEDIA)- SEPTEMBER 14, 2006 - Datacolor, the international leader in color technology, today announced plans to provide comprehensive training for professional installers and new availability of its SpyderTV PROTM color calibration package being introduced at CEDIA 2006, September 14 -17, in Denver.
"With the dramatic adoption of digital technologies like HDTV and growing consumer demand for high quality viewing experiences, there is a tremendous opportunity for professional installers to create new consumer service offerings that deliver immediate return on investment," said Rob Rosborough, Datacolor's Director of Consumer Products for the Americas. "Datacolor is offering unparalleled tools and support for AV professionals, allowing them to quickly and easily adopt color calibration as a part of their current service offerings."
According to Kagan Research, sales of HD television sets reached 10.1 million in 2005. Furthermore, it is estimated that 17.2% of television households in the U.S. had at least one HD television set by the end of 2005. Kagan Research also projected that 82% of U.S. television households, or 97 million households, will own at least one HDTV by 2010.1
"Datacolor is uniquely positioned to partner with installers to deliver a new level of support for consumers that own or intend to purchase HD devices." Rosborough added, "Over the next six months AV installers have the opportunity to become a part of the Datacolor network of installers trained and certified through our online and offline education programs, and they will receive support from our team of experts in color calibration."
The Company's latest product for the home theater market is SpyderTV PRO, which enables professional installers to quickly calibrate the color of home theater displays, computer monitors and projectors. It is available for purchase now and provides end users with optimal viewing quality and exceptional accuracy. SpyderTV PRO is the industry's only all-in-one hardware and software tool that delivers professional results at the most affordable price offered today. Datacolor ColorFacts Professional 6.0, an integrated hardware and software bundle designed to calibrate and correct color on plasma, LCD panels, projectors, and wide screen televisions for video images will also be demonstrated at CEDIA.
At CEDIA, Datacolor will offer product demonstrations for its suite of color technology solutions and informal training and education for AV professionals at the Datacolor booth (# 633). In addition to showcasing new products and technology at "CEDIA University", Datacolor experts will provide hands-on calibration training, including full-day certified workshops, introductory classes and free manufacturer product training.

Ok, I just figured it out. Spyder2 TV is designed for "monitors" - I am wondering though, since all of my TVs are really just CRT monitors, would this do the trick?

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

AT&T basically went downhill as even for Internet, they were slow in offering services as AT&T WorldNet did not exist until 1994.
In 1994, the commercialization of the Internet accelerated rapidly, forcing major telecommunications giants like AT&T to compete directly with pioneering network operators like BBN (Bolt Beranek and Newman).
AT&T's Early Moves. In October 1994, AT&T launched its first public World Wide Web presence (www.att.com). However, AT&T initially lagged behind rivals in offering direct, commercial Internet backbone and access services, leading it to look for external partnerships to catch up quickly.
Having built and operated the original ARPANET, BBN formed its commercial Internet service provider (ISP) division, BBN Planet, in 1994. By the end of that year, BBN acquired regional networks like SURAnet, making it the largest provider of corporate and institutional Internet access in the United States.
Long-distance rival MCI moved faster than AT&T into commercial Internet infrastructure. Alongside Sprint, IBM, and UUNet, MCI operated one of the primary commercial Internet backbones as the government-funded NSFNET prepared for decommissioning in 1995.
Because AT&T needed immediate enterprise-grade Internet capabilities to counter MCI and Sprint, AT&T forged a major alliance with BBN Planet in mid-1995.
According to The New York Times, AT&T guaranteed BBN Planet at least $120 million in revenue over three years to supply Internet access and security services to AT&T's corporate clients, while also purchasing a minority stake in the company.
While the BBN partnership gave AT&T an immediate foothold in corporate Internet services, AT&T soon built out its own massive consumer and enterprise infrastructure, launching dial-up service AT&T WorldNet in 1996. So basically AT&T would use BBNPlanet's backbone and BBNPlanet would then use MCI's backbone for anything they didn't handle directly.
Meanwhile, GTE acquired BBN in 1997, eventually merging it into what became Verizon's network assets.

Only thing was I thought AT&T split into 13 Regional Bell Operating Companies and not 7 like it says.

Breakfast for lunch. Crispy corned beef hash, home fries, two over easy eggs and sourdough toast.
Grabbed a burrito on the run. Beef, pinto beans, green chile and cheese. Stewart's cream soda.
Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?
