Not as much to report from CEDIA 2007 day 3 as there was the first couple of days, but a couple items did slip through the cracks.

Texas Instruments announced their new DLP chip, the Dark Chip 4. The Dark Chip 4 touts a native contrast ratio of 15000:1 and is 1080p. No word on whether or not it is a true 1080p or whether DLP will still have to resort to wobulation to achieve the resolution.

Denon showed two Blu Ray players. The DVD-3800BDCI and the DVD-2500BTCI are profile 1.1 players that support decoding of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. No ethernet on either, and the DVD-2500BTCI is limited to HDMI audio, having no analog outputs. The DVD-3800BDCI has a Silicon Optix REALTA HQV for superior deinterlacing and upscaling abilities. Both are slated to hit stores in December, the DVD-3800BDCI at $1999 and the DVD-2500BTCI for $1199.

Cary adds a video processor to their Cinema line. The Cary Cinema 11V sports six HDMI 1.3 inputs that can pass 1080p video sources at 120 Hz. The nifty feature here is that the 11V will strip the video information from incoming HDMI sources and pass just the audio portion of the signal to a pre/pro. No word on video chip, other features or pricing.

Lots of music servers from many manufacturers. Blah. That's it for day 3.
