The vMix NAB Show 2017 Preview!

vMix at NAB Show 2017

Hi folks! Today we’re going to talk about NAB Show 2017 in Las Vegas. This 4 day convention sees over 100,000 attendees grace the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center! Anyone who is anyone attends this show which is also the world’s largest broadcasting convention. The show spans 4 MASSIVE halls and provides you with enough walking steps on your Fitbit to last you for the entire month. One recommendation- wear comfortable shoes…no ifs or buts.

vMix will be attending NAB for the 5th year and we have a booth in the South Lower Hall alongside some of the industry heavyweights. We’re in booth SL 4620 so it’s not too far from the front!

vMix Booth NAB 2017

What’s happening at the vMix booth?

vMix 19 and vMix Call!

What will be on offer from vMix for NAB 2017? We’ll be showcasing vMix 19! vMix 19 includes vMix Call, a groundbreaking new feature that allows you to input up to 8 remote guests for your live shows! vMix handles all of the video and audio and allow you to control everything from the vMix interface. No more messing around with 3rd party applications or trying to sort out audio echos!

Demo Everything!

You’ll be able to have a hands on demonstration of vMix Call on the NAB Show floor. vMix will have a Call demo set up and ready to test. You can even make a call yourself from your mobile phone. There will be plenty of other features to test out on one of our 6 workstations. Stick around and try out everything you’ve ever wanted with vMix.

Experience 4K Live Video Production!

vMix has supported 4K for over 3 years now, so come and check out how to live stream in 4K …the easy way! We’ll have a workstation set up with 4K cameras, videos and other assets! You can also test out Instant Replay, PTZ operation, NDI demos, and advanced controls.

If you’ve ever wanted a demo of the best live streaming software, NAB 2017 is your big chance. You’ll be able to work hands on with the latest vMix features on high performance machines! Drop by the booth and see why vMix is the most powerful, reliable and feature rich live production and streaming software on the market. Come and chat to experts in live streaming and production and have all of your questions answered!

What to do at NAB!?

As this is the largest broadcast show in the world, there is plenty to see and do. Every company to do with professional broadcasting, cameras, streaming, capture devices, converters, lenses, wireless tech, VR etc etc will be there at NAB. It means it’s a great opportunity to see products first-hand that you may have only read about. It also means you can ask the actual manufacturers any questions directly. You can also see products that aren’t even available yet or products that are in the works. vMix was once a small company with a tiny booth, so maybe you’ll discover the next big thing and get in early!

There are also PLENTY of giveaways so you might find yourself walking away with a new camera or drone or even a vMix registration key! Oh or a mousepad or 10! Also, check out the ATOMOS booth, they always have something spectacular happening there in the Central Hall.

Pre-planning is a necessity. It’s so easy to find something cool and spend the next hour looking at it. Mapping out who you want to see and where they are located will allow you to get everything done and help you to not miss out. Do some research while you’re on your way or waiting in an airport and map out the locations of all of your visits. You don’t quite realise just how big the convention centre is until you see it. Speaking of people to see…

vMix at IBC 2016 Wrapup

Thanks to all of those that came out to IBC 2016 and visited the vMix booth. For existing customers or potential vMixers it was great to hear your stories and answer your questions.

We were located in Hall 11 which isn’t really near the rest of the live production companies but it was good for us as it was close to the door! It was a lot quicker to get to each morning! We also made use of some signage out the front which allowed some traffic from the main entrance through to the booth.

IBC is a long 5 day event that goes from 9:30 to 6 on most days, so understandably it can be a little draining. If you ever attend IBC make sure to wear comfortable shoes and get one of the maps. YOU WILL GET LOST!

We spoke to people from Nigeria all the way to the Faroe Islands! There was such a huge representation of people there this year. vMix users got a good look at vMix 17 features as well as a sneak peak at vMix 18 with Data Sources, Hamburger Menus and List Facelifts.

X-Keys graciously allowed us to give away an Xk-80 which drew quite the crowd on Monday, much to our surprise. Overall it was a very busy yet successful week. Even though it was extremely tiring, it looks like we might be back to do it all again next year!

Streaming Media West just got a whole lot more exciting!!!!

More exciting?!

How is that even possible?

I’m sure you’re wondering that for yourself right now. Well, not only will vMix be at Streaming Media West (as a GOLD sponsor) showing off vMix 16 in all its glory but we will be having a giveaway! It’s no ordinary giveaway either. Typically we give away vMix Registration Keys at trade shows and we think that’s pretty cool. However, we’ve taken things up a notch this year and will be giving away HARDWARE!

The kind folks at AJA Video Systems have provided us with an AJA Kona 4 capture card to give away! These are awesome 4xSDI input cards that will be able to handle pretty much anything you could possibly throw at them including 4K! All you need to do is swing by the vMix booth (307) and drop off your business card to be in with a chance to win. We’ll then draw a card at the end of the show and send it to you! It’s a pretty good deal! Oh and you also receive a vMix 4K Registration Key so that you can hook your new AJA Kona 4 up to you live production!

Streaming Media West is on Nov 17-18, 2015 at the Hyatt Regency, Huntington Beach, CALIFORNIA! It’s free to register for the Exhibition and if you use the VIPVMI priority code then you receive a discount for the different passes. Using this code also gives you FREE access to the Discovery Pass which includes the Discovery Track sessions, receptions, and keynotes! Click here to register.
