Not there. They announced it quite a while back, too, so I think it took a lot of people by surprise if they missed the story when it first came out.
The thing that I guess I'd say I'm most wary of is that CEDIA is apparently turning into DIYEDIA. And just like HDMI was forced onto us, there ain't a damn thing we can really do about it. Adapt or die, as always.
It's pretty telling when Amazon shows up, but Crestron does not. I'm a longtime Crestron fan boy, but I won't even try to deny the writing that's on the wall.
A lot of it might of been just because of Dallas, but I agree, when you start taking in anyone with a pulse just to make it seem like your floor is full means something else is going on...
Not to turn this into a crestron debate but they really aren't relevant anymore in the resi market, but I do think crestron was tired of seeing "pulse booths" and they can see that cedia is falling apart at the seams!
