This is not strictly about audio, but for those of us who follow film sound it might have a drool factor.
The insane resolution of Sony's Gigahertz DSD sound recording technology now has a counterpart in video. Have any of you been watching Sanctuary on the SciFi channel? It is nearly 100% green screen, and to keep up with the FX resolution the actual camera shooting is done with a RED One "camera."
Not to be confused with an earlier generation digital motion picture camera, such as the cameras that shot the newer Star Wars films, it is described as a computer with a lens and captures five times the information of HD. Yep, five times. This video will show what a piece of cake it is to work with as compared to my beloved but doomed media, film.
