01:00:30 **** NAB Coverage ****
01:25:16 Could office hours give us run down of the gear and people involved to run the live production at NAB 2024?
01:29:22 Really enjoying your live coverage of NAB. Where can we see a full BTS of the setup you are using to walk the show floor?
01:30:15 Thank you all for the coverage of NAB, it was very much appreciated. How did the booth placement in the Central Hall work out?
01:34:03 If you each person on the panel who worked on the show would improve 1 thing about there own roll/contribution what would it be? This is by no means meant to be negative, just interested in understanding what’s on the list for you for next year?
01:41:10 How are the likes of NAB, Sony, Zoom, measuring the success of what *has* been done, and whether they will want to continue to support it in a bigger way going forward?
01:42:38 Conferences often have three or more tracks for attendees. Might we someday offer three tracks of NAB Coverage?
01:45:37 How did the team keep up with the roaming groups as they moved through the conference floor? I imagine phones didn’t work, so what coms and tracking solution was used?
01:46:45 What is the open rack case that holds the Constellation, HyperDecks, etc?
01:47:29 It seemed to me like, for the panel-based segments, that the guest did not always know where to look. I wonder if having a central box behind the camera that always shows the actively speaking panelist (or small teleprompter) might help?
01:49:27 Alex your interview rig is extremely effective and elaborate but slightly overpowering, how could it be streamlined, downsized and made less intimidating?
01:51:09 If Vislink hadn’t stepped up would you have used Teradek? Or is there another brand that people are gravitating to?
01:53:19 Impressive backend! What specs were the Unreal Engine PC, and what specs were the bot machines? (They look like rack mounted Mac minis.)
01:55:26 Did you find smaller booths easier to work with? Did anyone say no to coverage?
01:57:46 Terrific NAB coverage. Thank you. Where can we make a small donation to your efforts?
01:58:22 What take home lessons do you think these vendors learned after being interviewed on our show?
02:00:10 NAB, Cinegear, Sissgraph are great. How can we effectively as individuals or very small teams cover other regional events like the ACL Festival, SXSW, etc with less fanfare but still server our community?
02:02:08 Did Smallrig see our rig?
02:02:55 I just wanted to shout out to our booth neighbors, especially riptie. They were always there for us when we needed them.
