I guess it is being closed down as there would obviously be no buyers to sell it off too? I'm curious if there were any attempts to sell it off first.

So, who's next? My gut says Panasonic. I don't really have anything to back that up, just sort of winging it. Have they released anything interesting lately?

Their making quite a few changes.
I know that Toshiba stopped selling their PBX a few months back. They just sold it to Mitel back in July.

Industry Grapevine includes:
1) Toshiba- Lost favor with distribution a few years back, cut back on quality reps, tried some selling dealer direct, but remained behind the times. Vivotek and other OEMs stepped up to sell their respective brands.
2) Panasonic- Had distribution channel contraction a few years ago, lost spec edge it had gained when Pelco sold to Schneider when more cost effective brands flooded the market, Video Insight claiming to want to run more business through distribution and yet one long term Panasonic rep firm just bailed to go all Tyco family video solutions.
3) As previous OEMs like Dahua, HikVision now openly compete with those that brought them to the dance, more "dates" likely to go home alone...

What about Toshiba's Facial Recognition engine? Has that been sold off too or being sold? Does anyone know?

Semi-related, Toshiba is now selling its flash memory chip unit to Bain.
