NAB Bets on Pro Audio
We cover some of the developments in broadcast sound that you can expect to see when the world’s largest electronic media show hits Las Vegas.
WITH MORE than 93,000 attendees from 156 countries and 1,550+ exhibitors, the 2014 NAB Show will welcome a host of pro-audio technologies through dedicated conference programming and exhibitors. The convention takes place 5-10 April in Las Vegas, Nevada. NAB will hold the US launch of Merging Technologies’ new Hapi small-format networked audio interface, as well as the the first showing of Pyramix 9, Ovation 5, VCube 5, and the final release version of the CoreAudio Driver for Horus and Hapi. “As for looking forward to it, I do in a masochistic way,” says Merging’s Chris Hollebone. “Apart from the product launches, there are always a bunch of US friends to catch up with, there will be some cool stuff on the GoPro stand (apart from the cameras), and usually a few parties. Usual Vegas craziness and typically good weather all help. “I also expect that AES67 will have a positive effect on the acceptance of Ravenna at NAB, and there might be some more manufacturers joining, which would be nice.” Studer will be premiering Vista X
and Infinity Core for the first major public show in the US. Similarly the manufacturer will be hosting the first US showing of the Soundcraft Vi3000 with Realtime Rack. At NAB, Fairlight will introduce
EVO.Live, a new generation digital

audio mixing system for on-air and live productions. Jean-Claude Kathriner, CEO of Fairlight, comments: “
EVO.Live includes an array of innovations that will benefit customers in terms of productivity gains, reliability, and especially value for money. The intuitive level of customisation of the user interface and its ability to switch between live and post modes will change audio production forever.” iZotope will be presenting its Insight essential metering suite, Nectar 2 production suite, and RX 3 and RX 3 Advanced, which remedy noise, clipping, hum, buzz, crackles, and more.
AVID EVERYWHERE
Prior to NAB, Avid will host Avid Connect, the inaugural event of the Avid Customer Association, a comprehensive initiative designed to provide essential strategic management to the media industry, which was announced at last year’s IBC show in Amsterdam. At the three-day event, which takes place on 4-6 April in Las Vegas, Avid will introduce what it claims is the industry’s most open, integrated, and flexible media production and distribution environment, all guided by Avid Everywhere. “Avid Everywhere addresses the unprecedented challenges that media professionals are facing, including: the accelerated digitisation of media assets; consumerisation of content creation and distribution; and relentless pressure for operational efficiency,” said Jeff Rosica, senior vice president of worldwide field operations at Avid. “To make Avid Everywhere a reality, we are developing the most fluid end-to-end, distributed
media production environment in the industry, a comprehensive ecosystem that encompasses every aspect of the new digital media value chain.”
