KOBASHOW 2014 marked its 24th annual exhibition and conference with a BANG! Co-hosted by South Korea and with the Korean Federation of broadcasting technology this show had a wonderful turnout showcasing state-of-the-art technologies that will surely be used within our community. The exhibits were a demonstration of excellent international broadcast, video, audio, and lighting equipment. In the area of post-production, industry giants as Apple (showcasing the new Mac Pro model; Grass Valley (showcasing the new Edius Pro 7.3; Quantel Ltd. (showcasing the new Pablo Rio V2), and Dalet Digital Media Systems (showcasing the impressive line of News, Sports and Program content chain for post) were showcasing wonderful options and technologies.  The Studio camera exhibits were well represented with the likes of Blackmagic Design showcasing the impressive line of the Backmagic Studio HD and the much anticipated URSA EF; Ikegami brought in their wonderful collection from the HDL-4500 to the incredible (and my personal favorite of NAB2014)  the HDK-97ARRI; and RED Digital Cinema bringing in the RED Epic Dragon and the SCARLET certainly did not disappoint!

The seminars that were available filled up over 100 sections at COEX Conference Center and dealt with the all-around discussions for broadcast, audio and lighting equipment industries. These seminars were: The International Broadcasting Conference, KOBA World Forum, the Headphone & Personal Audio Audio Festival (HAF 2014) is a festival that reflect the interests in premium audio receivers to smart phone / pad, tablet PC. The KOBA exhibition was hosted by the Korea E&EX and Korea Broadcasting Engineers & Technician Association, where engineers and manufacturers are working for most of the countries broadcasting stations such as KBS, SBS and EBS.  In addition- institutional organizations representing studios, production houses, large theaters, religious circles, educational institutions and governmental agencies were also very much involved in making theses seminars a very educational experience for the conference attendees!
