Planet Earth coming to Discovery HD Theater in March
Discovery Channel is bringing its 11-part natural history series, Planet Earth, from the BBC to the U.S. Premiering on March 25, the series promises to bring viewers into some of the hardest to observe regions of our planet using unprecedented high definition production techniques. Hopefully you're not completely tired of checking out animal behaviors and stunning landscapes in high def because when this simulcasts on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD Theater, viewers will be able to observe them via new innovations like the Cineflex heligimble, a powerful camera lens attached to a helicopter observing animals from long range. From the good people who brought you Blue Planet, the series is narrated by Sigourney Weaver and will run from the 25th until April 22.Movies aren't the only thing on display at Sundance, Philips shows off Blu-ray
Turns out Cinematical aren't the only ones hanging out in Park
City this week. With so many films
recorded in HD, Philips decided this would be a great place to show off their Blu-ray players. At their Simplicity
Lounge in the Village at the Lift, Philips is
demonstrating the storage and playback capacities of Blu-ray media. Did the HD-DVD camp miss an important opportunity to promote their technology to content makers? I guess we'll see what format independent moviemakers choose for their HD releases later this year.
