A Reimagined Exhibit Floor Welcomes NAB Show Community A new convention model awaits NAB Show attendees

By Terry Scutt NAB SHOW DAILY

The excitement is evident as the NAB Show community plans to come together in-person for the first time in three years. Despite the worldwide pandemic, the industry continues to evolve through advances in technology and by embracing new business models.

NAB Show is a catalyst for the evolution of broadcasting and the broader media and entertainment industry, and show organizers are hard at work to ensure this year’s event is a unique and valuable experience for all.

“It is apparent that the challenges of the last several years

have accelerated trends that had been building for some time, including the push to remote or decentralized production, the growth of streaming and the focus on personalized and unique forms of content,” said Chris Brown, executive vice president and managing director of Global Connections and Events for the NAB. NAB President and CEO Curtis LeGeyt — who will mark his first NAB Show as leader of the organization — noted that the hiatus and technological advances have given NAB the chance to introduce a new convention model that he says will help those involved in modern media create closer connections to people and solutions. Rather than

separate creation for broadcast or podcast or streaming, for example, the show will demonstrate that broadened content creation is the way of the future.

“Recognizing it is imperative that our show reflect the dynamics of our industry, we have reimagined and redesigned the show to align with how our industry works,” LeGeyt said. “This will maximize the experience and ROI for our exhibitors and attendees, while creating a forum that is conducive for commerce, innovation and making valuable connections.”

NAB Show will define the exhibit floor around three key themes — Create, Connect and Capitalize — with an additional focus on

Intelligent Content.

The reimagined NAB Show experience accounts for the fact that we live and work in a cross-platform world. High-end professional products and technologies previously within reach only for larger companies have become more accessible to smaller businesses, and those tools are no longer confined to different silos within the industry.

The old model with a radio hall, broadcast hall and post-production hall no longer fits today’s media ecosystem, the NAB said.

Instead, exhibitors will be located in the areas they best represent, all still a part of the renewed content lifecycle.

CREATE

Content creators who want to elevate the art of their storytelling will find the latest tools in the North and Central Halls. From acquisition, pre-production and post, to audio, video, radio and animation, attendees can learn about more compact, more affordable cameras, virtual production and the advance of remote and distributed workflows for telecollaboration. Blackmagic Design, Ross Video, Rohde & Schwarz and Wheatstone can be found in the North Hall. The Central Hall is home to Canon, Ikegami and Sony, among many others.

The reimagined NAB Show experience accounts for the fact that we live and work in a cross-platform world. delivery. Attendees looking for new ways to connect and deliver content to consumers will find what they need in the West Hall. Anchor exhibitors include Verizon, Sencore, Dielectric, Nautel, Interra Systems and Worldcast Connect.

of business models, exhibitors here will enable attendees to maximize the value of their content. Exhibitors include Evertz, IHSE, ENCO, Planar, WideOrbit and BackBlaze.

INTELLIGENT CONTENT SHOWCASE

The showcase, taking up residence in the West Hall, will

highlight content personalization and the role that data, automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence play in media workflows. AWS, Microsoft, MediaKind and Veritone are anchor participants in this area.

Throughout the halls are Experiential Zones designed to provide a unique take on the trends and technologies that sit at the center of each of the show themes. See page 12 for information on these zones — Implementation, Inspiration and Innovation.

NAB has taken a fresh approach to design the show with both attendees and exhibitors in mind and to allow more efficient exploration across the content workflow. For the first time in many years, the South Upper and Lower Halls will not be part of the NAB Show experience.

“First and foremost, I hope our attendees are excited to get back to doing business face-to-face; and to just having the opportunity to reconnect with old friends from across the industry,” said Brown.

“This is the side of the show that drives so much of its value, both emotionally and practically.

“There has been a lot made of how businesses have been able to adapt to doing business remotely, and while it is true to a degree, there is nothing that can deliver the same impact as in-person interaction. At a large event like NAB Show there is an energy, excitement and shared connection that simply can’t be replicated.” l Susan Ashworth contributed to this article.

Rapid change, particularly convergence across different areas of the media industry, over recent years has transformed the way media is created, managed, distributed, consumed and monetized. Coupled with that, NAB spent time seeking input from attendees and exhibitors from various communities about how NAB Show can better facilitate networking, discovery and education. With this shift and industry input, NAB is

unveiling a reimagined show floor.

NAB Show will present products, technologies and exhibitors within three area destinations on the show floor that reflect the content life cycle: Create, Connect and Capitalize, with an Intelligent Content showcase. Each of these destinations within the Central, North and West Halls feature Experiential Zones that focus on Inspiration, Innovation and Implementation.

There will be a lot going on, sometimes simultaneously, in these zones to provide a variety

of engagement opportunities for visitors, from theaters running daily education content to handson demonstrations to startup displays and unique networking forums. With respect to the latter, NAB Show is introducing a series of roundtable discussions that will provide great networking and the opportunity to dive deep with peers on key industry topics.

Experiential Zones sessions will begin Sunday, April 24, and end either Tuesday or Wednesday, April 26 or 27, depending on their location.

DREAM CHIP ATOMONE MINI ZOOM CAMERA C722 | Dream Chip is showcasing its AtomOne Mini Zoom miniature camera with support for resolutions up to 1080p60. The camera, which measures 2.33x3.16 inches and weighs about 9.41 ounces (60x80mm,

EXHIBITOR SPOTLIGHTS 267 grams), adds zoom capability to the camera’s existing visual specifications, which include imaging with a 1/2.5-inch sensor. With zoom functionality, the camera can be more effective when shooting in unusual locations or capturing a creative shot. Its small size makes it well-suited for shooting from locations where a larger camera might be intrusive or interfere with a shot, the company said. The base aperture stands at F1.6 – 2.9mm, providing for a wide angle 130-degree shot, and allows for the frame to be reduced to a 66-degree angle shot at 9mm.

CREAMSOURCE VORTEX4

C6540 | Creamsource is debuting its Vortex4 1-inch x1-inch, 325W high-powered LED for film production. An extension of the proprietary Vortex lighting platform, the Vortex4 embodies what Creamsource says is an “artist-first approach” to UI/UX for maximum creative output. The Vortex4 integrates with the Vortex8 for expanded lighting configurations. Like the Vortex8, Vortex4 features a narrow native beam angle of 20 degrees and CCT range from 2200K to 15000K. It can be used as a hard punch light to bounce or push through diffusion, or as a creamy soft light with the Creamsource diffuser or dome. This allows users to bring the fixture closer to the subject without the loss of space. Vortex4 is an IP65-rated, water-resistant fixture that can take on weather, messy effects machines, and extreme dust while integrated internal power supplies simplify rigging and cabling.

Take a Ride on the LVCC Loop System The “Teslas in a tunnel” project opened last April

By Paul McLane RADIO WORLD

This NAB Show will probably be your first look at the expanded Las Vegas Convention Center with its new West Hall. And you might also be able to take a ride in the Boring Tunnel Loop, now the LVCC Loop.

The project opened in April 2021 and is based on a conception

by Elon Musk. It is a three-station transportation system with 1.7 miles of tunnel, cored out by a special boring machine and was nicknamed “Teslas in a tunnel.”

The LVCC Loop connects the new West Hall with the familiar North/Central/South Halls and is intended to reduce a walk of 25– 45 minutes with a free two-minute

underground car ride, depending on which convention center station you are located at. The Boring Co. would like to build it out to a much bigger system eventually.

According to the LVCC, “The system is designed to transport more than 4,400 convention attendees per hour across the campus. Passengers will load into

vehicles capable of holding three people, with future vehicles capable of holding up to 12 people.”

Get a preview of your ride in a Tesla at the LVCC. l
