NAB 2011- Blackmagic Design

In recent years, no trip to NAB is complete without a visit to the Blackmagic Design booth. Each NAB Grant Petty always has something new and truly useful to show, and as a bonus, the products usually very reasonably priced. This year’s lineup is no different, with no less than three product announcements worth mentioning.

The first is Blackmagic Design’s foray into the increasingly crowded Standalone Video Recorder (or corder) market, the Hyperdeck Shuttle. While other manufacturers have been frantically adding features to their corder offerings to make them stand out, Blackmagic has gone the opposite way and stripped the recording unit to its bare essentials. The Hyperdeck Shuttle is really an HDMI/HDSDI interface, playback controls, and a dock for an SSD drive, that’s it.

NAB 2011- Sound Devices

I’ve always loved the products from Sound Devices, we own several of their 702T recorders, and 302 field mixers, that we use on our student films, day in day out, year after year. They’ve been very rugged for us, and that’s saying something for the amount of student productions they’ve been exposed to. In fact, I can only remember one time when we had a student break a 702T, and our first question was “how did they manage that?” (the forcible insertion of a mis-aligned compact flash card in case you’re wondering). Sound Devices products usually have that winning combination of high-quality, dependability, and reasonable price that film schools appreciate so much.

NAB from Afar

So NAB 2011 is next week, and I won’t be attending this year. I’ve done NAB more times than I can count both as an attendee and a journalist, and have probably racked up at least a couple of hundred miles in the LVCC over the years.

Partly because I’m based in Singapore now, and partly because I’m just tired of the show floor experience, I’ve decided to try something I’ve always suspected would work just as well. I’m going to cover the show from the internet.
