I think it may indirectly affect us. I was told some months back by Kaleidescape that Blu-ray playback was hugely important because it was also the path to integrating the Premiere and Encore systems. That path seems to have changed with this new announcement.
Not sure what, if anything, has actually changed other than the modified upcoming rollout of this integration. We recently had a discussion in this forum as to what owner's were looking for, at a minimum, in the integration of the Premiere and Encore systems. This soon to be released function is, in part, a result of those discussions. I do know that resource management at K does have some affect on the approaches taken to improve system functions and services. There's a lot more going on at K than people realize, all being addressed with fewer resources than in the past. Management is doing the very best it can to accommodate as many systems as possible while at the same time working to move the company forward.
The guidance of management, and the expertise and dedicated work of the engineers at K has, in my view, provided us with a solution to the issues associated with running two separate systems. This was not easy to do given both the technological challenges and legal requirements of bringing this to owners.
I personally thank all of those at K responsible for this upcoming release.
