Does Sony/SDDS have a website, how about a question/answer section?

You didn't think it could be that easy, did you?

The SDDS site may be easy to find. But it doesn't seem like the webmasters have an easy time updating it. I think it has been something like 2 years since the last update.

The person who maintained the site left the company to become an independent consultant about the time the site stop being updated. Their information site may be out of date but the site regarding equipment sales handled by Sony dealers is updated ( with a prompt to the user to do so ) as needed with price / specs / availability.

I hate maintaining websites, but I wonder if SDDS would be interested in paying for some freelance graphics work?

Les --- will you or someone from the UK office of Sony be coordinating the site? Or will it still be handled out of Culver City?

John,

The site will be maintained from the US.

However it will be easier for Sony engineers and other staff at SDDS to have input and get it uploaded to the site.

The new site will contain much more comprehensive details on all aspects of SDDS from the studio, printmastering, negative recording through to laboratory printing as well as support for the player systems in theatres.
