Roll call for NAB2012
 

NAB is coming up quick... who here is planning to attend?

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I wish I could be there this year. Work calls.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'll be there. Once again Jim Jannard has declined my offer to juggle 6 Epics while blindfolded, so I'll probably just roam around the show still drunk from the night before while hitting on the cute girls at the... well, nevermind that last part. Anyway, staying at the Flamingo or Sapphires. Not sure which yet.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I will be there staying at the Bellagio

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

See you there!

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'm booked and staying at MGM Grand. See you on the monorail.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'll be there M-W, going to MMB and Supermeet and walking the show floor Tuesday.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Dear Friends,

I will be there are our Convergent Design booth in the Central Hall, near Sony.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Not this year. Maybe next. Have fun, everyone!

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I won't make it. It is a bit far and let's face it, I am not in the same league when it comes to being a competent practitioner.

Ari Presler of Silicon Imaging I understand will have a new piece of 3D production innovation to show, which people will find very, very interesting.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'll be there. I'm running some S-Log workshops on the Sony booth.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

In for my third straight year... Arriving Monday morning, if all goes according to plan, staying til Wednesday.

See you there!

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'll arrive Sunday and attend all day Monday with my son (a DP).

My first NAB was Dallas, 1987. Silver anniversary! :)

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Of course. Roming the floor and booth meetings with vendors.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

A Convention too Far .. but I'm sure like the others here, I'll be very interested to read what you folks get to see and learn.

Travel safely and have a great time.

Cheers.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'm in.

Mon thru Thurs. at the Tropicana. (I always stay at whichever hotel is hosting the Supergroup meeting so I can stumble back to my room afterwards!)

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Committed! (Or should be.) Monday through Wednesday.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Will be there as well!
I've won a progressive $.25 video poker jackpot three years running now...

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Hoping to be there Monday and half of Tuesday

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'm not pushing this and won't be there but Chris and you guys might like to breakfast together
at this function. Interesting list of finalists ..

Studio Daily

Have fun ..
Cheers.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Looking at the options for high speed data tape storage.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'm in from Sun to Wed

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'll be dropping in. :)

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'm there and will be at all of the different soirees as well.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'll be there Wednesday and Thursday....and scoring a couple of 24 hour buffet pass....oh the best buffet is Caesars because they have big ass king crab legs.....not just any ordinary king crabs legs, but BIG-ASS ones.

I did see somewhere some special for the Rio Seafood buffet though at like only $28.....not sure where I saw it, but need to find it again.

I'm looking forward to talking to the Sony guys at the Sony booth so they can once again evidence that even when I find the guy they tell me to talk to, they will not know much about their product, and once again for 3 years running they will not put us as promised on their press release list so that they can avoid us givjng them FREE PUBLICITY. :(

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Wish it went to other countries.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I will be attending the show Monday through Thursday and will be staying at the LVH. I am kinda a last minute attendee as Chris Soucy (also a DVinfo regular) and I have been working on a counter-balance correction system for tripods that we have been asked to take to NAB with very short notice.

This system will allow users like myself with light cameras to use our tripods as they were meant to, balanced with the proper weight/ camera COG. I will have a few prototypes with me at the show, so look me up and I can show you our new toy.

Monday I will be all over the show, but Tuesday I hope to be spending more time at the Vinten booth, helping people test their light cameras on Vinten support systems, using our new CB100 Counterbalance Correction system. I hope to be attending other support manufacturers stands as the opportunity arises.

We might be lucky enough to see some pics of the system in action in an upcoming review here on DVInfo. Vinten has a few new systems on show, and one of the the reviews (courtesy of Chris Soucy) should be coming out before NAB, so keep a watch if interested. Then if you want to see the real thing, find me at NAB so you can put it through its paces.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

This will be my first time attending. NAB is like SEMA for the automotive aftermarket EXCEPT you get to touch and test many of the new products at NAB. I am coming from Long Beach Grand Prix so I can only be there 2 days.

Any advice for a first timer?

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

No matter what else you do, bring comfortable walking shoes.

It's typical to be on your feet for 8 hours pretty straight - and to cover 10 miles of walking just doing a cursory trek around all the exhibits.

Add that to the size of the Las Vegas hotels where you often have to walk hundreds and hundreds of yards just to get from you room to the bus or monorail stop - and a big show like NAB requires good footwear first and foremost.

FWIW.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'm not going, but my business partner Richard ( a few posts above) is, with some prototypes of the CB100.

If you want a sneak peak, try this link: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/tripod-s...ml#post1725748

Check it out at NAB.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Less than a week away... anyone else attending?

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Leaving Friday for Vegas. Do a little sight seeing over the weekend and then on to the show Monday. Looking for an LED lighting system this trip.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I will be in the exhibit hall Monday and Tuesday, specifically looking to put a matte box, 15mm lightweight rails, and filters on my EX1R camera.

Keen to visit AbelCine, Arri, OConnor, Schneider, and Tiffen to see how their gear plays, and also be inspecting all kinds of other interesting toys.

This will be my first time to the show, hopefully it will be fun and I will learn quite a bit in a short time frame.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

your agenda is very much like mine Rob !

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Myles - which gear are you looking at, for which camera? Might be interesting to share ideas.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I’m doing some 45 min presentations on the fundamentals of working with S-Log at NAB on the Sony Booth. The presentation covers: What is S-log, how does it work, how do I expose, record and grade it. I’m on the 35mm stage at 4.30 on Monday and 9.30 on Tuesday and Wednesday. You can also watch excerpts from my “Night of Wonders” video of the Northern Light in the Sony 4K theater.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Alister,

If you become aware of some goodies publicly announced for the 4K theater, please add them to the thread here...

Thanks!

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

To the earlier question about what first-timers should know
going into NAB, we have this article from 2005 -- it's a bit
long in the tooth but still very good:

Tips for attending the NAB Trade Show at DVInfo.net

Can't emphasize enough the importance of comfortable
and durable footwear. As for myself, I bring two pairs of
"trade show shows" and swap 'em out daily.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

Very similar to a visit to a large city museum Chris, though the comparison might offend some exhibitors.

I pack a small medical kit, blister balm, bandaids, preferred headache remedy, suncream etc.
And despite the company, I try and limit the sauce each night.

Cheers.

Re: Roll call for NAB2012
 

I'm gonna be there! I'm excited this is my first NAB.
