Hey all,

If you recall, I made a mention back a few months ago about the prospect of Spectracal coming to the KC area to conduct a class. Well, I received a call today, and it looks as if that is becoming closer to reality. Right now, it looks to be a one day class/evening class for both professionals and consumers about video calibration, getting some hands on with the Lumagen Radiance and the VideoEQ system developed by Spectracal. Cost of the class will be $299 for the day course, and $99 for the evening event. Currently, the venue looks to be located at Kief's Audio/Video in Lawrence. This is a great facility if you have never been there to hold this type of event. Plus the opportunity to play with numerous different types of displays and projectors. Folks, if you have been involved or follow this business at all, this is a RARE opportunity. Kansas City, and the area, is more or less considered a cast off for this type of class as a lot of people who hold them don't feel there is enough interest in this area to hold any such opportunities. Believe me, I have tried. This type of thing is generally held on East or West Coasts, and in conjunction with a major convention, as that is where the population and interest lies. Don't prove them right! It is likely this class will not be held again in this region...at least for many years unless the turnout is beyond expectations.

I am also considering holding a DIY audio and design class the day after. Let me know if you have interest.

Contact me if you can attend regardless. Expected date of the class is July 6, 2010.

Thanks
Shawn

Do you know what time the evening section starts?

Hey chirpie!,

No idea as yet. Things are still being finalized regarding venue and the logistics. If nothing else, it would be a great opportunity to come mess up some TV's without having to pay for it! That has entertainment value in and of itself! Very Happy

Just got an email with the expected class itinerary (sp?). Participants also get a workbook and calibration DVD. Check it out! Looks like a lot for a sawbuck! Very Happy
