This preview highlights some of the many products releases at the show. For many of the readers, the primary reason for attending the show is to find out what is new. Exhibitions still present a special way to discover new products, something that the web has not yet ousted. There is nothing like the show-and-tell from a product manager for a real insight into a new product.
Broadcast Engineering will be providing video interviews during the show on key new product introductions, and we are again running our BE@IBC blog (broadcastengineering.com/blog/beibc) with news and product announcements in the run up to the show.
