Welcome to our second annual NABlog, from the editors of Digital Content Producer and Millimeter. During this year’s National Association of Broadcasters show in Las Vegas, we’ll be covering the news from the show live, as it happens.

NAB is the biggest annual gathering of the tribes for the broadcast, film, video, and multimedia industries, with attendance always hovering around six figures. It’s also the best place to see brand-new gear— new cameras, editing software, and anything else that helps capture images from the real world, package them, and send them out to display screens.

So for us, the editors, NAB presents a wealth of opportunities to interact with the people and the companies that create and manufacture gear as well as those who produce programming. With this blog, we’re able to share our experiences and fresh knowledge—we’ll be posting several daily updates from press conferences, parties, booth visits, panel discussions, and off-the-cuff interactions with industry mavens.

New for the NABlog this year are audio podcasts. Check in daily for new MP3 segments. Technical Editor Dan Ochiva talks with manufacturers (such as Adobe, Ascent Media, and HP) about the companies’ plans for the NAB show and the future of digital content production. Contributing writer and product reviewer Jan Ozer will be filing daily reports from the show floor, with guest spots from senior editor Michael Goldman.

Whether you’re getting ready to fly to Las Vegas or you’re planning on checking in on NAB news remotely, NABlog has you covered. Check back with us starting Saturday night—we’ll be blogging continuously. Well, almost.
