Let’s be honest; when I saw my appointment with Avocent (who?), I found their web site, saw that they produced KVM switches (what?) and immediately penciled in a (yawn). I couldn’t have been more wrong—just got back from the meet, and I’m jazzed.
Avocent is shipping KVM over a network, and I want one. In case you don’t know, KVM technology stands for keyboard, video and mouse, and desktop units, like the four-port unit that I currently have, let you control multiple computers from one keyboard, mouse and monitor.

Focus Enhancements sells an assortment of products in multiple markets, so it’s always a fun visit at NAB. The coolest item this year was an upgrade of the company’s popular FS-5 DTE recorder, which includes the ability to create MPEG-4 proxy files after recording for preview on the FS-5′s color LCD. MPEG-4 is a good choice, since you can obviously play the clips on a computer, upload them to a video sharing site or display them on most mobile devices.
Also new is the ability to wirelessly log clip metadata using any WiFi capable device like an iPod. You can even link multiple FS-5 units together and add the same metadata to all units simultaneously. FS-5 version 2.0 should ship in May and will be free to all customers who purchased the FS-5 between February 2009 and June 30, 2009. Otherwise, the upgrade will cost $39. more
