The 2019 NAB Show exhibits will be open from April 8-11 in the Las Vegas Convention Center with many product announcements, a greater focus on cinema and a new area in Central Hall called Cine Central. Register online (tiny.cc/nabshow-reg). Enter MP01 for a free Exhibits Pass Code and other savings by March 24. Here are some of the trends in motion picture production that might be seen:
- More LED fixtures. Remote control via apps. Any color imaginable.
- More K, larger formats, larger sensors, shorter FFD, more AKS.
- At the NAB Show, we’ll agonize over ovals and bokehs. To flare or not flare.
- To compare and to test. High resolution or softer look. Lots of lenses.
- What launches at NAB Show? Can’t say, but IBC and InterBEE foreshadow.
- Bigger displays, HDR, more resolution, higher framerates, oh my!
