NAB Show Product Preview

There used to be just a couple of ways for a broadcaster to get a good quality signal from outside the studio: microwave and satellite.

Most of the best gear in the world is worthless without the means to connect to other devices, so paying attention to the seemingly mundane topic of cables and connectors is important.

Attendees looking at technology in the realm of storage, recording and the cloud are in for a pleasant surprise this year.

Interesting times once again: spectrum auctions, consolidation and repacking, ATSC 3.0, Clouds and IP, plus more channels than we can ever watch.

Advance product introduction news from companies exhibiting at this year’s NAB Show indicates that audio-over-IP networking is becoming ever more ubiquitous.

The industry is quickly moving to IP connectivity, virtualization, higher and higher definition imagery, and other enhancements.
