NAB 2023 Recap

April 26, 2023

Our Recap of the 2023 NAB Show.

The leading tradeshow and expo for the broadcast, media, post production, and content creation industries, the NAB Show heralded its centennial anniversary this year. Over 65,000 attendees from 66 different countries converged upon the entertainment hotbed of Las Vegas to meet with over 1200 exhibiting companies.

This was a huge increase from last year's Covid-affected edition and reflected an air of industry resurgence and new innovations for the media world of today, and tomorrow. The main topics that recurred throughout the convention halls were two major steps in virtualization: AI and the Cloud. Driven by the needs of Covid-driven at-home productions, we were given a view of the future of broadcasting.

Our team traversed the show halls for the latest and greatest in audio for broadcast and media production.

Some of the interesting and cool things we saw on the show floor:

• Waves introduced the Cloud MX, a virtual mixer application that utilizes the cloud.
• Tieline unveiled an innovative new MPX series of codecs.
• Sound Devices expanded their A20 wireless family with the A20 Nexus receiver supporting up to 16 channels, and the A20 Monarch antenna system.
