NAB 2016

“VR has the furthest to go but it’s obvious HDR and cloud-based media management/processing are here in a big way.”

“Most of the technologies that I thought were really cutting edge when I first saw them have become part of the business now.”

“We may be beginning to solve the automatic metadata capture issue.”

“Ang Lee’s film screening was so compelling and ‘buzzworthy’ that you have to believe this technology will be embraced by the movie-going public.”

“I think ATSC 3.0 was the over-arching theme of this NAB, with lots of sessions and lots of buzz.”

I did hear several people refer to VR as the new 3D, so this will be an interesting question to ask next year after the wow factor dissipates, and we see how hard it is to work in the virtual space.

“Like everyone else, I have a very hard time seeing into the future.”

“No doubt—ATSC 3.0, HDR/4K and VR/AR.”
