These times, they are a changing…

The CEDIA update will be a little short today but stay tuned, there is a lot more coming.  In the meantime, as some of you are aware, one of our premier projector lines has gone through some changes.  Vidikron, and it’s big brother company Runco, were purchased by Planar in May 2007.  Since that time the transition has not been as smooth as expected and, as with any acquisition, changes were expected.  In the recent months there have been many rumors flying around regarding the state of Planar as well as the Runco and Vidikron lines.  Yesterday I attended a meeting which addressed all of this.  First, the Vidikron line will be dissolved over the next couple of months.  Service and support for the Vidikron products will continue but all marketing and new product development have ceased.  Runco targeted a number of Vidikron dealers and have invited them to be part of the Runco family and that did include 8250 Theaterworks.  So, I am pleased to announce Runco has been added to the list of premier products available to 8250 clients.  At the meeting they showed us a number of new, and very cool, products and technologies that we’ll be coming to market in the next couple of months.  I’ll of course be reporting on these and giving you all the details.
