Welcome
to the Broadcast Engineering blog for this year’s
NAB
Welcome to the Broadcast Engineering blog for this year’s
NAB. We have almost a dozen reporters covering every key event over the
next six days. If it involves technology, you’ll see it covered
here.
Because of hard times, exhibitors and show organizers alike expect a
lower attendance. How low? Outsiders don ‘t know and NAB isn’t
talking.
Despite predicted lower attendance, I tell clients that fewer people
just means those that do come are the important ones. The economy is a
good filter. There’ll be few tire kickers at this year’s show.
What to expect?...

fixed costs to that of low variable costs, which will allow them to
compete more effectively with the onslaught of new media entrants. At
least those are the prescriptions Chyron executives outlined April 19

Buzzwords
at NAB
With only a few appointments under my belt today, I’m
already getting a feeling for the big buzzwords that I’m going to hear
throughout the show. Last year, the buzzwords (from what I gathered, at
least) were interoperabilitly, scalability and modular designs.
Customers wanted the ability to easily integrate new systems into their
existing infrastructures in the sizes and configurations that worked for
them. They also wanted to be able to buy parts of systems as opposed to
entire systems as cost-savings measures.
This year, it’s all about IP and 3G. This is where the industry is
heading, and customers are expecting vendors to be on top of
it...

EditShare
sharing more than storage
BlogLive @ NABSHOW: From Digital Content
