Up…Up and Away!
In the old days, you could tell an NAB visitor because their knuckles would drag on the ground from carrying bags of swags around—now they just swipe your card and send you all their promotional material via e-mail. Our renaissance man-who-knows-everything, Chief Engineer Bill Peters and his wife Beverly made the annual journey to the desert and he jotted down these quick reflections:

NAB Reflections by KOCT’s Chief Engineer Bill Peters. Video geeks look forward to April each year, not for the spring flowers but because that’s when the National Association of Broadcasters convention (NAB) comes to Las Vegas and all the latest and greatest video gear are on display.

The Las Vegas
Convention Center is huge! I'm tired!
Lots of shoots being
done in 4K.
Cameras getting
smaller and better even as image quality gets better.
Finding the camera
body not always easy.
Know your formats:
SD, HD, Ultra HD, 2K, 4K, 8K,???
Think also about the
actual pixel sizes of the image when resizing.
Increases in image
resolution leads to increases in distribution channel bandwidth (obviously)•
Will the internet
really prevail as the ultimate distribution channel?
