Welcome to dermcast.tv

Dermcast.tv launched last week and is already receiving positive feedback from users who are calling it the “YouTube” for dermatology PA’s. The site, created by Radar Multimedia, in association with the SDPA, is the only online media resource of its kind for physician assistants. As of today, the site features a few interviews with SDPA board members and founders, expert insight from well-known & experienced PA’s and man-on-the-street interviews with attendees of the 6th annual Fall conference in Tampa. With future updates, the site will feature PowerPoints from breakout sessions and keynotes as well as a library of podcasts from industry events and conferences.

Radar in Tampa

Radar wrapped filming in Tampa this week at the 6th Annual Fall Conference for the SDPA. The main reason for Radar’s involvement with this year’s conference was to capture a handful of videos, audio podcasts and interviews for the launch of SDPA’s dermcast.tv, a new website that will serve as a resource for dermatology physician assistants nationwide. Since June, Radar has been developing the dermcast site getting it ready for its November 14th launch. Stay tuned for more updates.

HD DVD is Dead

So HD DVD is officially dead. Toshiba announced today that they would discontinue developing, manufacturing and marketing HD DVD players and recorders. The announcement ends a two-year-long battle with Blu-ray Disc to succeed DVD (even though Blu-ray still has a long way to go since most players are still experiencing incredible-long load times and glitches with the firmware). The move came soon after both Wal-Mart and Netflix announced they would only carry Blu-ray product, and Best Buy announced it would give preference to Blu-ray. Warner Home Video’s decision in early January to only support Blu-ray left HD DVD with Paramount Home Entertainment and Universal Studios Home Entertainment as the only major studios supporting the format. Hardware sales data the week after Warner’s announcement showed 93% of high-def players sold were Blu-ray, according to The NPD Group, and Nielsen VideoScan data has consistently shown Blu-ray software outselling HD DVD 3:1 or more. Toshiba significantly lowered its player prices during the holiday season, and Microsoft dropped the price of its Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on by $50 earlier this month. Toshiba also bought a 30-second Super Bowl ad for a reported $2.7 million, but apparently was not effective in boosting sales or digging into Blu-ray’s lead.

What do you think? Will you miss HD DVD or is it “c’est la vie”?
