NAB Show Product Review

Less than four years ago, a well-regarded expert on the subject of coaxial cable told me that creating affordable and practical 12G coax was not going to happen.

We’ve now arrived at the doorstep of another big era of change in the television industry, ushering in UHD imaging, wider color gamuts, high dynamic range and virtualization.

Video monitors as seen at the 2017 NAB Show are no longer just display devices.

April’s major themes in this evolving category were cloud, IP and orchestration. Multiple vendors stood ready and willing to make “sweet music” of their clients’ cacophonous workflows.

It’ll hardly come as a surprise that the cloud is booming—as a secure archiving repository, as a host for live and linear channel playout, as a way to sync clients and to manage VOD depositories.

If there were any television transmitters on the NAB Show floor that used IOTs or other tubes, I did not see them.

Portability, flexibility, scalability: There were lots of “abilities” to be found at NAB Show when it came to technologies in the switching, routing and KVM space.

The spectrum of editing systems on display at the 2017 NAB Show reflected the changing demands of today’s post production.

FORECAST CONSOLES introduced the ImageMaster GCX-S Sit to Stand Workstation Edit Console now with electric height adjustable functionality.
