Presentation Topic:
Today's broadcasting standards are getting better and better, and
broadcasters need more powerful products to help them create better
looking, more compelling programs. With things like 4K, IP technologies and
IT networking already in play, broadcasters need to know how to transition
to new technologies effectively, and need to have the proper workflow and
knowledge in place to manage content properly. In this presentation, Bob
Caniglia will discuss the latest standards in the industry, and the
Blackmagic Design products that provide broadcasters the support for their
needs of today and a path to the future. Bob is trying to get their new
URSA camera for us to see.
