Normally I try to post a note up a week or so before a SuperMeet as a reminder to grab your tickets if you haven’t done so already. Plus it might help you decide to attend if you haven’t decided already. We’re still over a month away from the 10th Annual Las Vegas NAB SuperMeet (which is also the 10 anniversary of FCPUG SuperMeets) but the grand prize that was very recently announced was so good I wanted to spread the word.

This year that grand prize will be a DaVinci Resolve System that includes the full DaVinci Control Surface. That’s the Resolve software (it doesn’t specify but that’d be for Mac) and the $30,000 hardware panels. That’s quite a grand prize. I think this is significant as some of the big prizes in recent years were cameras and camera gear. This grand prize is all post-production.

The SuperMeet will be held on Tuesday, April 12 at the Bally’s Hotel Event Center on the Vegas strip. No trekking over to the Rio this year (but I guess that means no lingerie show going on next door either). There’s a whole lot more prizes to be given away besides the Resolve system. All the details can be found on the official SuperMeet page. Tickets are only $10.00 but that’s the earlybird special that runs through March 15. Keep your eyes on the SuperMeet page for the agenda to be posted soon.

A package arrived yesterday that contained a shiny, new MC Color control surface from Euphonix. We have the unit under our roof for a month of testing. This surface has been eagerly anticipated by Apple Color-using community for quite a while. First glance right out of the box feels like a very solid unit. We’ll see how it performs both from a hardware and software POV as we test it out in the coming month. Stay tuned to the Editblog on PVC for first impressions and a full review.
