Fair value Measurements [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | 14. Fair Value Measurements The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, which establishes a fair value hierarchy under which an asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value measurement. The levels of input defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows:
|  | Level 1 — quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date;
|  | Level 2 — other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
|  | Level 3 — unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.
Below is a summary of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company under FASB ASC Topic 820 as of June 30, 2011:
|  | Carrying |  | Fair Value

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period. The fair value measurement for the Company’s investment in Real D transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Previous fair value estimates for the investment were based on Real D’s stock price, discounted to reflect the impact of a lock-up period to which the Company was subject. The lock-up period expired during January 2011; therefore, the fair value estimates for the investment subsequent to January 2011 were based on Real D’s stock price with no adjustments. There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
