And so the sun has set on another CES—as it did over these train tracks as I wended my way home—but that doesn't mean our coverage is over. Stay tuned for more videos we shot at the show, which will continue to be posted over the course of this week.

What will we see and hear at next year's confab? More 3D video and audio, more tablets and apps, and more than a few surprises, I'm sure. Meanwhile, UAV will continue to bring you the ultimate in all things audio and video. Here's to a great 2011!

CES 2011 Audio Wrap-Up

CES 2011 has come and gone, and by the end, my dogs were barking big time! Last year, my pedometer recorded a total of 15 miles during the show, a figure I beat by 33 percent this year—I walked 20.34 miles, which translates to 42,959 steps. Thank goodness for orthodics and support socks!

Stay tuned for more videos from the show as well as my wrap-up reports…

Swiss developer Sonic Emotion was demonstrating its 3D Sound technology in a smallish booth at the Convention Center using soundbars from Haier and Coby.
