It’s not too often you get to see Martin Scorsese and one of the major players at Best Buy in the same room… but this is Blu-Con 2.0, and we’re talking about the future of Blu-Ray and hi def, from its role in film preservation, to marketing the hardware to the future of HD technology -3D HD anyone?- is on the table.
My HD Nation co-host Robert Heron and I have been brought down to cover the event. We love HD on Blu-ray, so it’s gonna be a fun day!
I’m a huge fan of his movies, so Martin Scorsese’s keynote, “How Blu-ray Impacts the Movie Experience” is a must see. Some major movie studios will be talking about what’s coming for BD-Live and Digital Copy. Another one we can’t wait to see is Best Buy’s Mike Vitelli; he’ll be talking about “How Consumers Consume Entertainment.”
And on a panel we can’t wait to see, folks from Netflix, Sony Electronics, Roxio CinemaNow and Blockbuster on Demand will talk about network streaming, “Building a Bridge to Blu-ray.”
And then there’s the whole Blu-ray 3D thing. Robert’s had a chance to see Panasonic’s Full HD 3D demo, but I haven’t… will I fall on the Roger Ebert side o’ the 3D debate? We’ll find out!
We’ll have a quick wrap up online after the event. Next week’s episode of HD Nation will go in depth on announcements, new tech and Scorsese’s keynote. Stay tuned for HD Nation’s coverage of Blu-Con 2.0!
