NAB
Attendance
As I walk around the show floor, one topic that always comes
up is, what do you think of the traffic? It is lighter, its easier to
get around the aisles, and it’s easier to get to talk with people. The
NAB have announced first two days as 83,000
registrations...

Guess
who’s in the CG business? Ross Video
Walking into the Ross Video’s booth at the NAB Show April
21, I was a bit surprised to see the company was in the character
generator business.
The company was enjoying a sizable crowd of people looking at its new
XPression character generator. The CG’s introduction into the Ross
Video family of products is the result of Ross’s March acquisition of
Media Refinery. Well-known in Europe, the character generator is new to
the Americas and the rest of the world...

Axcera
presents ATSC Mobile DTV education session
At the Axcera booth this morning, I got to sit in on a
tutorial session entitled “ATSC Mobile DTV Transmission Systems,”
presented by Rich Schwarz, Axcera VP of product management.
Acknowledging that mobile DTV offers a new revenue opportunity for
broadcasters, Schwarz discussed alternative choices available to convert
existing transmission facilities to incorporate ATSC Mobile DTV. He

system that are affected. more...

TeamCast
hybrid terrestrial-satellite mobile TV infrastructure
Tuesday morning the phone function on my Treo broke, putting
NAB on hold while I, panicked-ly, scurried around gettting a replacement

Cool
Stuff from Rhozet
BlogLive @ NABSHOW: From Digital Content

Rhozet Carbon Coder is one of my favorite batch encoding and workstation
testing tools because it produces very good quality video and is
extraordinarily efficient at multi-threaded operation. Throw a 16-core
Nehalem-based system like HP’s Z800 at Carbon Coder, and you’ll see
100% CPU utilization on all 16-cores.
