The National Association of Broadcasters<\/a> presents the 2016 NAB Show<\/a>,\u00a0April 16-21 in Las Vegas. Here are just a few highlights of things you can see at the show.<\/p>\n Canon<\/a> Senior Advisor of Film and TV Production Tim Smith<\/a>\u00a0proclaimed some exciting news for the company:<\/p>\n We will be showing not only our existing product line, with a few surprises, but we will also be showing working 8K cameras and 8K displays that look into the future of production.<\/p>\n I think you will be seeing some low-cost, high-quality offerings that open up many possibilities for both big and small-budget productions. –\u00a0NAB HUB<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n With the recent price drop of the Canon C500<\/a>, rumors suggest that the new C500<\/strong> Mark<\/strong> II<\/strong> may be the 8K camera Tim Smith is referring to.<\/p>\n Blackmagic Design<\/a> President Dan May<\/a>\u00a0shares his thoughts on the increase in demand of 4K and UHD products:<\/p>\n With online channels, such as YouTube, Vimeo and Netflix, already delivering 4K content and only growing from there, we are seeing an increase in demand for 4K and UltraHD products and technologies. By investing in scalable, affordable products, as well as the right infrastructure with technologies such as 6G-SDI, 12G-SDI, Thunderbolt 2 and optical fiber, customers can prepare themselves for the future of broadcasting.<\/p>\n These interfaces are high bandwidth and essential elements for creating the proper infrastructure to stream content at higher resolutions, regardless of the viewer\u2019s display. We also know that quality matters regardless of screen resolution, and noise or impurities create unnecessary processing by the codecs creating the streaming signals. – NAB HUB<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The much anticipated Ursa Mini 4.6K just started shipping last week<\/strong> after months of delays, so it’s not yet known what Blackmagic will showcase in their booth \u2014 though there have been rumors of a new Pocket Cinema Camera<\/strong>\u00a0and perhaps a BMD color grading monitor<\/strong> for DaVinci Resolve.<\/p>\n Sony Electronics<\/a> Product Manager\u00a0Deon LeCointe<\/a>\u00a0was very forward when he announced plenty of camera updates from the manufacturing giant. Sony is currently dominating the mirrorless and broadcast camera\u00a0markets.<\/p>\n At NAB Show 2016, Sony will announce new models and updates to its full line of professional A\/V technologies for HD and 4K production at all levels, ranging from camcorders, cameras, switchers and displays for sports, live production, events and more. We will showcase current applications, technology strengths, and highlight topics ranging from imaging and 4K\/IP transmission to Storage\/Optical Disc Archive and Display\/HDR.<\/p>\n At the show, Sony will also debut their newest Ultra HFR camera, building on the success of the HDC-4300 and other popular studio camera systems. This new camera will offer up to 8x high frame rate in 4K and integrate well with the existing lineup. – NAB HUB<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n PremiumBeat: <\/strong>Noam Kroll<\/a>\u00a0offers filmmaking advice on April 19th &\u00a020th at 12:00 pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n Shutterstock:<\/strong>\u00a0Andrea Allen<\/a> from Vimeo, Chad Koch<\/a> of Conde Naste, and Derick Rhodes<\/a> of Shutterstock Footage talk about The Future of Storytelling<\/em> on\u00a0April\u00a018th at 3:45 pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n Video Copilot:<\/strong> Andrew Kramer<\/a>\u00a0offers a keynote speech at the Adobe booth on\u00a0April 18th &\u00a019th at 2:00 pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n Disney:<\/strong>\u00a0Ben Sherwood<\/a> oversees ABC Studios, the ABC-owned Television Stations Group, and the ABC Television Network.
