DAY TWO and WHAT a day it's turning out to be so far!I have been running around like you wouldn't believe!!! Not sure WHEN I'll be able to talk about all the parties I popped-in at! I'm already running around this morning, trying to keep everything straight and organized... gotta get to that Mark Ramberg conference...
Hey! MADE IT!!! Right now, I'm attending the conference where Amazon CEO Mark Ramberg is speaking!

...and here we are, just after Debra finished-up with Adobe! GREAT JOB, Debra!!! {Did I ever tell you how WONDERFUL you look on-camera??? - Well, YOU DO!!!) :)
I've got just a few minutes to check-out some more of the goodies here, before my next appearance... At the Riedel Booth, they're proud of their New MediorNet MetroN Core Router that not only boosts bandwidth in MediorNet installations, but provides an extra layer of flexibility, too! the 2-RU large-scale MediorNet MetroN core router provides a massive 640 GB real-time signal-routing capacity (64x10G ports)and combines signal transport, routing, signal processing, and conversion into one integrated real-time network solution. Any incoming signal - video, audio, data, and communications - on the network can be sent to any output — or even to multiple outputs — with just a mouse click or via a router control system.

At the #vizrt Booth, virtual presentation for their 3D real time graphics. Look at Ryan, then look at the screen above!

LOOK what I found in the AJA Booth - An amazing AJA Video Camera! AJA Debuts CION: 4K/UHD/2K/HD Professional Camera at this year's Show! Look at it! Who can't admire the sleek build and the professional look and feel? And those sentiments go even deeper when you use this technological masterpiece! An entirely new professional camera, it is capable of shooting at 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD resolutions! The easy user interface reminds you of the years of experience that went in to this ergonomically-efficient camera. see more of what it has and can do on the AJA website, HERE.
The interactive display at #livestream is more than just racing fun. The real fun is in the their awesome Wireless multi camera production systems. It's VROOOMtastic!!! Go live via WiFi, Ethernet, or 4G USB modem as you transform any HDMI camera into an HD live streaming device with your Livestream Broadcasterâ„¢. Out of the box, attach it to your camera, plug it in, pair it and VOILA! Instant Studio! Way cooler than i can describe it! Look at it on their website, HERE!
And then, as if I couldn't describe the above, words can't even express this one - you would have to hear what #avids newest version of #protools can do with it's latest technologies in media creation and audio. The #avideverywhere in action. Music recording, live on the cloud from London to New York. Pro Tools Cloud Workflows. If you'll recall, we profiled AvidEverywhere on Saturday, during the Avid Press Conference! It was indescribable then, and it remains so now, days later, when you see it in earnest action! Read ALL ABOUT IT here. Seriously. Go. Go NOW. Seriously. :)
Michael Rowe - iCTVBA Chairman and my personal friend - THANK YOU for all the support and praise you've been throwing both my way and to Broadcast Beat Magazine! If you didn't think that we were watching Linked-In, well ... WE ARE!!! The iCTVBA is a fantastic organization advocating for the Cloud and Cloud use! And I'm NOT just saying that as Global Vice Chairman, either! As you'll note about this year's NAB Show, a larger percentage of companies are touting the Cloud as an integrated part of their product lines - it's INSANE! We'll ALL be dancing on the Cloud before too long... MARK MY WORDS! Find out more about The iCTVBA on their Linked-In account, HERE.
Stopping by a favorite of #broadcastbeatmagazine, #forbiddentechnologies, who's video creating, editing and distribution software on the cloud won The Broadcast Beat Magazine's 2014 Product of the Year!

Look at ME! I'm with Brian Boring getting in an interview at #forbiddentechnologies! And a closer look at what is happening on the wall at #forbiddentechnologies - an artist has covered a whole wall with beautiful pastel art...
Check out this #arri camera, with The Copperhead 3430AP - incredible! The camera, a marvel in itself, but add the fiber optic camera transceiver for 3D production and e-cinematography (The CopperHeadâ„¢ 3400 series), and it's just like downtown! The Copperhead mounts to any two-camera 3D beam splitter or side-by-side rig, transmitting all signals digitally and optically, assuring the highest quality signals - free from interference, grounding problems or drifting due to temperature variations.

tBack at #livestream we get a look at their live production switcher and bonding equipment (L). Pretty awesome! And here I am showing off Livestream for Glass + the new studio control surface! (R).
Broadcast Beat Magazine's own Nic Rios, interviewing Meteorologist Bernie Rayno at the #accuweather booth... he'd BETTER NOT be predicting rain... that's ALL I'm saying... you know what I'm talking about? WE KNOW WHERE HIS BOOTH IS! LOL And none of that "Into everyone's life, a little rain must fall" MALARKEY! Blue skies and moderate temperatures... :) Seriously, see an entirely different dimension of weather prediction and the technology behind it on their website HERE.
Here, I'm taking some time for an interview at #aotg with Manhattan Edit Workshop's Josh Apter! (L) and over on the (R), I'm playing golf! A Hole in One, maybe? Watch the video, below, to find out! :)
Another day done, and another notch on the old Broadcast Beat gun stock. I had a WONDERFUL day, met a LOT of GREAT folks, and shot a few NABShow LIVE! episodes with my creative crew! I'd like to thank EVERYONE for making this a stellar occasion, and I look forward to the parties tonight - SuperMeet anyone? Everyone who was a part of today's efforts got us "over the hump" (so to speak) as we are no, officially, done with half of The 2014 NAB Show. The best parts, though, sometimes come toward the end - and I believe that there's a few "goodies" left for me to share with you before it's all over! For now, though, continue to follow my live-blog, read my feeds, and stay blogged-in! See you tomorrow!
