NAB 2019 Wrap-Up with Gary Adcock

he National Association of Broadcasters Conference and Expo is the largest broadcast show in the world.  Every major broadcast, camera, lens, lighting, audio, infrastructure, and broadcast technology company is at NAB announcing new products.  Which of those products matter to us?  What were the buzzwords coming out of Las Vegas this year?  8K was the rage at CES, but how did it play at NAB? Did USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 have another major presence this year? What was the surprise product or announcement from the show? Find out from ChiFCPUG founder Gary Adcock what he saw and what he thinks was the biggest news from this year's show.

Gary Adcock specializes in creating and streamlining workflows for episodic and feature film production and post-production. His extensive work in camera technologies, image acquisition, and on-set workflows is regarded by many as one of the most knowledgeable resources in the industry. Gary assisted in writing the Data Handling Procedures and best practices documentation for IATSE Local 600 (Cinematographers Guild) as part of an ongoing education initiative project.

Blackmagic Design's Resolve 16 with Dan Svoboda

Resolve 16 had everyone talking the NAB show. With a brand new Cut page, a new AI Neural Engine, and many overall improvements to the Edit, Fusion, and Color pages, DaVinci Resolve 16 should be on everyone's radar as an extremely powerful tool in your filmmakers' toolbox. At this month's meeting, Dan Svoboda will show you how to use some of the powerful organizational tools in the Media Page, the intuitive yet familiar toolset in the Edit page, as well how to use Fusion to make some basic motion graphics and node based composites.
