Actually, it seems like the people who plunked down 2 Miliion bucks
without waiting to see what else is out there are sweating. Whether the
Spirit, C-Reality ,both or neither is the final answer will be
determined in the coming year. If you've got a Spirit now and it becomes
the machine of choice, in a year half the facilities in town will have
one. Worst case scenario (which I don't see happening, the Spirit is too
good a machine) facilities with a Spirit are left with a 2 Million dollar
coffe table.
Until DTV and HDTV become a client mandated reality I think most
facilities with Ursa Diamonds will wait until all the cards are on the
table. If Cintel can keep all their promises, which I know many out
there doubt, than C-Reality will be a machine to be reckoned with. If
not than at least the Spirit will probably come down in price in the face
of the competition. Either way, unless you feel a need to deliver HD or
2K signals now, I see no reason to commit to one machine or the other
without getting the whole picture first.
Thanks all,
