Anticipation is building as we plan to once again descend on the temporary epicenter for technology innovation: Las Vegas. The forecast for the week of April 12-15 is looking hot, both for the weather and the exciting technology exhibitions we’ll see at the show, including several demonstrations in Elemental’s booth, SL4529, in the Display Systems area of the Lower South Hall.

Elemental is bringing several new video processing and encoding technologies to NAB (the National Association of Broadcasters annual trade show) this year. Elemental staff will be on hand to demonstrate Elemental Server failover and redundancy in a clustered environment as well as video streaming to multiple screens simultaneously from a single system. Elemental will also unveil a new enterprise-class video processing system targeted at new media, which represents a breakthrough in video content creation and delivery that shouldn’t be missed.

Just like last year, Elemental’s presence will be spread throughout the NAB show floor with additional demos in partner booths, including:

• Panasonic (C3712): In the Panasonic booth, we’ll be in the editing pavilion demonstrating Elemental Accelerator as part of the Adobe Premiere Pro workflow, encoding AVCHD video content using GPU acceleration. 
• HP (SL5220): in the HP booth, we’ll show a single Elemental Server in a 4RU HP chassis integrated into a larger content creation workflow.

We’re excited to speak to attendees and learn how predictions around next-generation (and heavily hyped) technologies like 3D and HTML 5, stack up against companies’ actual workflow integration plans. As Glen Dickson at Broadcasting & Cable put it, “top engineers from station groups are looking for technology that matches the new economic realities of the broadcast business.”
