CeBIT Australia 2007: photo gallery

by Ed Dawson on May 2, 2007

CeBIT Australia 2007 is the biggest, most impressive show in years. PC Authority brings you a ringside seat from the IT industry's event of the moment.

CeBIT Australia opened on the 1st of May to great fanfare and a horde of enthusiastic show attendees. They weren't disappointed, as CeBIT Australia 2007 has some of the best stands and technology displays in recent years. The buoyant nature of the economy was evident in the sheer size and scale of the exhibitor's stands, as well as a strong Government presence encouraging investment and business startups in various states - even promotions pushing for Australian investment overseas.

Star of the show was easily the huge Panasonic stand, showcasing their massive 103 inch plasma display, running at 'full-on HD' 1080p resolution, which was extraordinary. Even at that size, when the screen is as tall as a man, 1080p detail still looks impressive. Panasonic's resilient Toughbook notebooks were on display as well as their corporate digital signage solutions.

Sony also had a strong presence with their Blu-ray video format and projectors, while their amazing 'Intelligent Video Analysis' was running. This is a form of smart surveillance which can identify the location of multiple people's heads and faces within a video stream.

The scientific community was represented by the CSIRO and the University of New South Wales' Solar Challenge team with their prototype solar racer filling the show stand.

Finally, the networking companies had some of the most visually impressive stands, with Netgear, D-Link, Netcomm and Billion all making a strong showing.
