- As NAB 2020 has been cancelled we will still bring you news of product releases as they are announced
The latest technology news from our partners including EditShare, Avid, Ross Video & StorageDNA and many more, the latest 4K, 8K and UHD and cloud technology announcements.
As we learned and watched the world reporting on Coronavirus and the spread of this horrific illness, we were seeing many businesses react. Avid (and many others) pulled out of NAB, before NAB themselves issued a statement –
“In the interest of addressing the health and safety concerns of our stakeholders and in consultation with partners throughout the media and entertainment industry, we have decided not to move forward with NAB Show in April” (Gordon H. Smith).
We will post here links and news from or partners . As NAB has been cancelled many of our partners are planning ‘online’ product releases and updates. Please check back here for the latest news.

Since the COVID outbreak Avid have been working behind the scenes on a plan to enable conversations and product demo’s to still take place in April albeit “virtual” with all our customers who were intending on attending NAB this year.
