Webinar: What to See at NAB

Posted on 21st March 2019 by Russell Trafford-Jones

Date: Friday, March 29th 2019
Time: 11am PT / 2pm ET / 18:00 GMT

NAB is coming around again and the betting has started on what the show will bring. Whilst we can look to last year for hints, here editors from Streaming Media come together to discuss the current trends in the industry and how they will be represented at NAB.

Some highlights of the conversation will be:

What HEVC solutions people are showing – the ongoing codec wars are captivating to most people as AV1 tries – and gradually succeeds – to break its ‘too slow’ label, whilst HEVC continues to grow acceptance with its ‘ready to deploy’ label despite the fees.
UHD production and delivery – We know that production houses prefer to capture higher resolution as it increases the value of their content and gives them more options in editing. But how far is UHD developing further down the chain. Is it just for live sports?
Live Streaming – SRT is bound to keep making waves at NAB has Haivision plans its biggest event yet discussing the many ways it’s being used. SRT delivers encrypted, reliable streams – while there are competitors, SRT continues to grow apace.
NDI – This compressed but ultra low latency codec continues to impress for live production workflows – particularly live events, though it’s not clear how much – if at all – it will make its way into top-tier broadcasters.

Much more will be on the cards, so register now for this session on Friday March 29th.

Meeting: NAB Review & Diversity in the Workplace

Posted on 15th May 2018 by Russell Trafford-Jones

Date: 16th May 2018. 18:30
Location: Pincents Manor, Pincents Lane, Calcot, RG31 4UQ View Map

A panel of experts covers two topics: NAB and the power of diversity.

NAB saw an sharp uptick in AI-based products, big names moving around the floor and a 10% drop in attendance. This meeting explores whether that impacted the NAB experience and if we are seeing any evidence of that in our businesses. Does it affect your decision on attending industry shows? Why do you think less people are attending? Or is it now quality over quantity? The panel will discuss with an open Q&A at the end for feedback.

The evening will also discuss diversity in the workplace. With industry manufacturers and suppliers having less than 2% female CEO’s – where is the diverse workforce? Is there an opportunity for them? What can companies do to ensure a more diverse workforce? What are the benefits?
