I think you need to turn on the flash.

I was wondering if anyone went to the Da-Lite booth.
They are changing the High Power screen material on manual screens and was hoping they had a demo showing at CES.

I have some shots of some of the screen booths, was limited for time as the day was growing long by then Thursday...

Watching the dts demo disc now, it was available only if you watched a 10 minute loop with a clip from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian in dts-HD Master Audio 7.1 along with a Country Video from Gloriana - Wild At Heart dts-HD Master Audio 7.1 96/24... both sounded very good in the demo booth which had consumer available audio equipment inside and sounded very good.
The BD Demo has clips from:
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian dts-HD Master Audio 7.1
Twilight dts-HD Master Audio 5.1
Baraka dts-HD Master Audio 5.1 96/24
Sleeping Beauty dts-HD Master Audio 7.1
Drumline dts-HD Master Audio 5.1
Band of Brothers dts-HD Master Audio 5.1
Bolt dts-HD Master Audio 6.1

I've been disappointed in the dts booth now two years in a row. Last year they demoed a laboratory prepared 11.1 sound track. There was no disk because no one has a way to play it. This year they showed me what a system would sound like if I bought a Home theater in a box from Walmart. Sorry, but I disagree. The demo sounded bad. The performers were good but the sound was not. I didn't come all the way from Florida to hear a Walmart Home theater in a box from DTS. I want to hear a reference system, something I want to strive for.

The Dolby Demo room did that. Last year Dolby demoed bad headphones in their room and I gave it a thumbs down. This year they had a great HT reference sound system.

Either way, I can't wait to listen to both disks on my system at home, especially the DTS one.
