Headed to Amsterdam for IBC? Even with five days, you’ll be hard-pressed to cover all the sessions and convention exhibition show floor. After all, the IBC2013 has more than 1400 companies showcasing the latest products and technologies across 14 halls.
However, to help our readers get a head start, the editors of Broadcast Engineering have sifted through hundreds of product announcements in order to highlight some of the offerings you’ll see at the show. And for additional IBC product coverage, be sure to check out our IBC product previews in our August and September issues.
Broadcast Engineering will also be providing video interviews during the show on key new product introductions, and we are again running our IBC blog (broadcast engineering.com/blog/beibc) with news and product announcements.
