Did MacRumors coverage drop out? Is the event over yet?
Anyway, the NAB conference is great because Apple introduces stuff that is fun for me to pretend I can one day use.
It looks cool for me, and I know it must be cool for someone else to use. :D

Very worthwhile FCS 2 upgrade. $499 from FCS1 and $699 from any version of FCP all the way back to the beginning so no penalty for doing the FCP to FCS upgrade for $199 and everyone who missed it can now jump to FCS2 for only $699 which is really great for all who missed the $199 deal during this past year which did not include FCP 1, 2 & 3.
Only Academic 4 owners who didn't upgrade to FCS1 lost this time as they can only buy FCS2 for $699 academic and not get commercial FCS2 for $499 like those who did.

Nice.
FCP6 and Motion 3 are beasts! STP2 sounds nice.
Perhaps we'll find out about DVD Studio Pro 5 during the week at NAB.

yeah just looked like Block there from Engadget was just doing a really good job and macrumors.com either didn't have soemone there, or they were doing a kinda crappy job.
too bad..but, as always the interface for macrumorslive.com is amazing and needless to say every other apple event for the past few years has been me and my eyes glued to macrumors
thanks arn and crew for a great job almost all the time

Our feed was just too flakey. we had to rely too much on summary statements from our contact rather than transcribing the feed itself like we normally do, so we just pulled the plug. Kudos to Engadget for doing a great job. They beat us out (this time).

Can someone in industry explain the significance of the IO-HD and ProRes 422 format?
Are these revolutionary things or just Apple's entry into an existing market?
