The outfit's DCP-2000 JPEG2000 Digital Cinema Server has been "approved as a licensee of Dolby 3D Digital Cinema, giving exhibitors even more options when screening 3D content." As it stands, Doremi's DCP-2000 servers are already installed in over 5,500 screens across the globe, and thanks to its interoperability, it ought to have no qualms with the third-dimension.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/22/doremi-cinema-lands-licensing-deal-with-dolby-3d/">Doremi Cinema lands licensing deal with Dolby 3D</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Sat, 22 Nov 2008 02:40:00 EST.

IP Vision's latest set-top-box is quite the interesting character, being completely carrier-independent and boasting no subscription fees whatsoever. The unit includes an HDD for storing up to 40 hours of content, a <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/Freeview/">Freeview</a> tuner, an export-to-USB feature (read: external storage support) and the ability to tap into a wide library of video-on-demand content. Speaking of the latter (<a href="http://fetchtv.co.uk/">FetchTV</a>), users can suck down material from Paramount, ITV, Turner Broadcasting, Eagle Vision, Fremantle, Entertainment Rights and Aardman, with movies priced between &pound;1.99 and &pound;3.50 and other shows costing &pound;0.29 to &pound;1.99. The unit itself can be purchased now for &pound;149.99 (or &pound;129.99 for a limited time) -- tell us, UKers, is this something you might be interested in?<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.techdigest.tv/2008/11/fetchtv_launche.html">TechDigest</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/fetchtv-stb-bundles-freeview-and-hd-vod-support/">FetchTV STB bundles Freeview and HD VOD support</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:33:00 EST.

The good news for Blu-ray is that sales were up 83.49 percent to over $20 million, which is up from about $11 million last week. The fact that Blu-ray didn't manage more of the market is what we'll refer to the panda affect. While we're not exactly sure how well <span style="font-style: italic;">Kung Fu Panda</span> did on Blu-ray -- because the title market share chart only listed the top 10 this week -- last week it was less than 6 percent. Assuming this trend continued, and the fact that the panda movie held the number one and number three position on the DVD charts, it appears Blu-ray's number one title, <span style="font-style: italic;">Hellboy II: The Golden Army</span>, was no match for it. Next week we'd be willing to bet we see much of the same because while <span style="font-style: italic;">WALL-E</span> has a much broader appeal then animated fighting bears, it probably won't be enough to break Blu over 10 percent all on its own.<br /><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><img hspace="4" vspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadgethd.com/media/2008/11/nielse_list111608.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><p><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/nielsen-videoscan-high-def-market-share-for-week-ending-november/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Nielsen VideoScan High-Def market share for week ending November 16th, 2008</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/nielsen-videoscan-high-def-market-share-for-week-ending-november/">Nielsen VideoScan High-Def market share for week ending November 16th, 2008</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:16:00 EST.

Hot on the heels of its recently announced <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/28/starz-play-broadband-video-service-comes-to-verizon/">Starz Play deal</a> comes this, a similar agreement with a UK-based digital asset-delivery network provider. The agreement with Velocix puts Verizon in a position to "offer content owners and video distributors a competitive choice in delivering their services to our broadband customers." More specifically, the two have worked together to "offer content owners and video distributors a competitive choice in delivering their services to broadband customers," which leads us to believe that all sorts of new internet-based content could soon be coming to FiOS / FiOS TV customers.

WestTel, along with suits from WestStar TV and ABC Trenching, has just broke ground on a $15 million, seven-year initiative to bring fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) to the only Cayman island with an international airport. The first phase will focus simply on establishing a fiber infrastructure amongst corporations, initially from Television Centre to Camana Bay, then up West Bay Road to Governors Square. Phase two will see the deployment of HDTV and high-speed internet / voice services to residences along West Bay Road, while followup phases will string it to the rest of the island.

In an admittedly bizarre twist of fate, Disney has discovered that several full-length, high-quality bootlegs of <em>Wall-E</em> were posted up at 56.com, a site which Disney's venture-capital affiliate, Steamboat Ventures, invested in just two years ago.

The report found that HDMI sockets were included on a staggering 95% of all digital televisions shipped worldwide in 2008, which unsurprisingly goes down as "the greatest volume for HDMI in any product." It also found that the "vast majority" of DVI shipments occurred in PC and PC peripheral markets, noting that DVI-enabled product shipments would decline at an annual rate of 30% through 2012; in the same breath, we're told that HDMI-enabled product shipments would increase at an annual clip of 23% over the same period. Now, if only this research would have included DisplayPort, we'd really have ourselves a showdown.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10103849-1.html?part=rss&amp;tag=feed&amp;subj=Crave">CNET</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/research-shows-hdmi-climbing-dvi-slipping/">Research shows HDMI climbing, DVI slipping</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:11:00 EST.

Now, Marantz is looking to bring it all back in style with the IS301, a Lucullan wireless iPod dock that transmits both audio and video sans cabling and includes a port-filled receiver for tight-knit home theater integration. Practically every dock-connecting iPod (no iPhones allowed, at least not officially) will work fine here, and there's also Bluetooth 2.1 support for receiving and beaming tunes from BT-enabled devices.

In fact, DVD sales on the whole are down 4% for the year, with the biggest drop occurring in October; it's also noted that Blu-ray sales, according to Warner, will "miss sales projections for the year by 25%." Interestingly, we're told that the slumping economy isn't the only aspect to blame, as media companies are purportedly "dumping more obscure titles on the market, leading to downward pricing pressure," according to Distribution Video and Audio. Of course, we're also informed that <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/digitaldownloads/">digital downloads</a> could be cutting into sales, but even during the down times, the DVD business is still outperforming a whole gaggle of other sectors.

Why? To say that by "having the price for these products [HDTVs, for one] be the same at all retailers, Sony had eliminated stress for buyers." In case you weren't aware, Sony has forbid retailers from discounting select high-end HDTVs and cameras, but it's doing so for you, the buyer (honest!). In fact, he stated that because of Sony's heartwarming efforts, "consumers don't have to worry about whether [they] can get a better deal at retailer A or retailer B, and everybody gets the best deal."

The release gets interesting when touching on Sharp's intentions -- it states that the company is hoping to "create unique, one-of-a-kind products in the future that feature both devices [Blu-ray recorders and LED lighting] at their core."

Thanks to a few curious YouTube browsers, a simple URL hack revealed that the online video site already has the ability to host and play back 720p clips, and better still, some users are reporting that surround sound is also in the works. <em>Wired</em> is claiming that YouTube has confirmed that this discovery is part of the site's efforts to test out different video formats, and with rivals like <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/20/viddyou-takes-online-video-sharing-to-1080p/">Viddyou already up to 1080p</a>, it's about flippin' time. We can't say for sure when YouTube HD will roll out in official form, but you should definitely hit the read link and check the embedded vids; the top one is 720p, the bottom is the standard pixel-fest.

Currently, the outfit produces 65-inch plasma panels at a plant in Ibaraki, while all other sizes are concocted at two factories in Amagasaki. Starting soon, all sizes will be made at the pair of plants in Amagasaki, a move that will supposedly cut production costs by up to &yen;4 billion ($41.92 million) per year. Panny is hoping to use the Ibaraki venue to "concentrate [on] development and testing of flat-panels," which follows logic given its intentions to spark up a "development segment for LCD panels there next fiscal year."<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/panasonic-to-move-all-plasma-panel-production-to-two-facilities/">Panasonic to move all plasma panel production to two facilities</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:19:00 EST.

During his trip, he saw the DirecTV HDPC-20 in action alongside a smorgasbord of other gear, some identifiable and some not so much. Speaking of Microsoft, we talk about the Xbox Experience and the appearance of HD Netflix's Watch Instantly titles -- the selection isn't great yet, but the quality is there. This move really gives Xbox 360 a leg up on the competition, and Microsoft's Shane Kim (no relation to Steve, by the way) crowed about that this week; and our readers seemed to agree with him in this week's Ask Engadget feature. DISH will let you add USB storage to its ViP211 DVR for a "mere" $40, which while pricey is still better than a stick in the eye. And that's exactly what the newspaper editor who claims he can't see an improvement in Blu-ray picture quality must have caught, in our opinion. We admit that even price cuts may not be making Blu-ray decks fly off the shelves, but picture quality isn't a valid reason to hold off on the purchase. Apparently, people don't feel that being "bound" to physical media is a reason to nix Blu-ray, either, as this week's MOTO (master of the obvious) survey finds that people actually prefer discs to streaming. That's good news for Oppo's rumored BDP-83 Blu-ray player; but even if it decodes every format under the sun, a pricetag upwards of $400 might put a damper on things. Netflix has officially declared the format war is over, and will stop carrying HD DVDs in mid-December. No week would be complete without mention of VUDU, this time the rack-mountable XL2 version gets mention on the podcast. LCD prices are definitely in a free-fall, but we wonder what they would be if not for the price fixing that LG and Sharp admitted to. No such luck for those hoping to join club KURO, however, as Pioneer's rebranding of Black Friday as "KURO Friday" rings utterly hollow.<br /> </font></font><font face="sans-serif"><font face="sans-serif"><br /></font></font><font face="sans-serif"><font face="sans-serif"><br /><strong>Get the podcast</strong> </font> </font> <p><font face="sans-serif"><font face="sans-serif">[<a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=126269845&amp;s=143441">iTunes</a>] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).<br />[<a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/category/podcasts/rss.xml">RSS</a>] Add the Engadget HD Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator and have the show delivered automatically<br />[<a href="zune://subscribe/?EngadgetHD=http://www.engadgethd.com/category/podcasts/rss.xml">Zune</a>]Subscribe to the Podcast directly in the Zune Marketplace<br />[<a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/podcasts/EngadgetHD_Podcast_112.mp3">MP3</a>] Download the show (MP3).<br /><br /></font></font></p> <p><font face="sans-serif"><font face="sans-serif"><strong>Hosts: </strong>Ben Drawbaugh and Steve Kim <strong><br /></strong></font></font></p> <p><font face="sans-serif"><font face="sans-serif"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Producer: </strong></strong></strong></strong>Trent Wolbe<strong><strong><strong><br /></strong></strong></strong></font></font></p> <font face="sans-serif"><font face="sans-serif"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Program<br /></strong></strong></strong></strong></font><font face="sans-serif">01:10 - <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/12/engadget-hd-podcast-111-11-12-2008/">Comments from Engadget HD Podcast 111 - 11.12.2008</a></font></font><br />12:16 - <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/19/the-media-center-directv-hdpc-20-caught-in-action/" title="View The Media Center DirecTV HDPC-20 caught in action on Engadget HD" target="_blank">The Media Center DirecTV HDPC-20 caught in action</a><br />22:10 - <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/" title="View Xbox Experience now available to all who signed up, Netflix HD streams too on Engadget HD" target="_blank">Xbox Experience now available to all who signed up, Netflix HD streams too</a><br />25:05 - <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/17/microsoft-exec-touts-hd-streaming-over-discs-suggests-xbox-360/" title="View Microsoft exec touts HD streaming over discs, suggests Xbox 360 will outlast PS3 on Engadget HD" target="_blank">Microsoft exec touts HD streaming over discs, suggests Xbox 360 will outlast PS3</a><br />28:09 - <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/12/ask-engadget-hd-best-gaming-movie-console-xbox-360-or-playst/" title="View Ask Engadget HD: Best gaming / movie console: Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3?

The carrier has just upgraded its SeaChange VOD infrastructure in order to "dramatically expand" its HD video-on-demand offerings, and on top of that, it's also hoping to launch a <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/StartOver/">Start Over</a>-type service to help those who notoriously show up late for their favorite show. Better still, the company is looking to expand its linear HD lineup by adding in 15 to 25 new ones over the next 9 to 12 months.

We already knew that AT&amp;T was laying down hundreds of millions of dollars for <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/03/atandt-announces-fiber-investments-for-the-carolinas/">fiber improvements</a> in the Carolinas, and we've already seen <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/21/craigslist-ad-hints-at-u-verse-in-raleigh-durham-nc/">dodgy job ads</a> and <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/22/atandt-u-verse-cabinets-pop-up-in-winston-salem-nc/">U-verse cabinets</a> in the central region of NC. Now, we're really beginning to feel it. A number of locals in the Triangle have spotted AT&amp;T trucks casually passing through, and upon asking, were told that U-verse services were planned for certain areas as early as December. More specifically, we're hearing that Cary, NC could be serviced first, though there's no word on when the Triangle / Triad at large would have the option to switch. And maybe it's completely coincidental, but TWC managed to go a lifetime without adding a substantial amount of high-def stations in these very areas -- now that competition's (possibly) rolling into town, we're finally seeing <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/28/twc-gets-official-with-hd-expansion-in-the-carolinas/">some effort</a> put forth. <br /><br />[Via <a href="http://brentroad.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=549322">The Wolf Web</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/atandt-eying-december-launch-of-u-verse-in-cary-nc/">AT&amp;T eying December launch of U-verse in Cary, NC?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:45:00 EST.

Located at 8835 Columbia 100 Parkway in Suite B, the store offers up a "home theater setting where shoppers can relax in plush chairs and see for themselves what all the excitement is about as they experience FiOS TV on high-definition TVs." Better still, subscribers can swap or drop off FiOS TV set-top-boxes / remotes at the store, and they can even phone up friends in the southeast and brag about their proximity to the service. And you know they (you) will.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/verizon-gives-patrons-a-taste-of-fios-tv-internet-in-new-colum/">Verizon gives patrons a taste of FiOS TV / internet in new Columbia, MD store</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Fri, 21 Nov 2008 02:10:00 EST.

Although we're (mostly) kidding there, there's no denying that the aforesaid unit is one of the more complicated devices to install and get running. Thankfully, ZeeVee has inked a contract with Inforonics to provide extended hours of tech support, meaning that you really can get your install issues dealt with at 3:17AM. As always, YMMV when calling in at such bizarre hours, but at least you'll have a warm body to talk with even if the troubleshooting is a bust, right?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/20/zeevee-technical-support-now-open-at-really-weird-hours/">ZeeVee technical support: now open at really weird hours</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:53:00 EST.
