SEE YOU IN THE DESERT
Years ago, hearing that I would be making my inagural tour of duty at the annual National Association of Broadcasters Convention, a grizzled veteran of many such campaigns knowingly smiled and said to me, “See you in the desert.”

It’s about that time of year again, when scrappy startups, innovative middleweights and the titans of industry all converge on Las Vegas to demonstrate their latest and greatest high-tech wares to the creatives, executives and wannabes who make up the business of show.

Our task is to provide the information you need to make the best of what will be a very long five days (April 18-23) as the NAB confab cranks up in Sin City.

As this issue is being completed in late March, not all the stars have yet aligned — i.e., not all the NDAs have expired — so we’ve done our all to compile the best information available on the key companies you’ll want to visit in those cavernous Convention Center halls. The result is the “NAB 2009 Cheat Sheet” (starting on page 4), our Cliffs Notes for the A/V set.

These company and product profiles — plus many, many more — are also available at www.dv.com, complete with extended-edition write-ups, additional images and updates as we get them.

Starting April 18, the DV site will also feature the ongoing event blog “(Almost) Live From NAB,” offering candid accounts of what’s on display (and overheard) throughout the show. Your rambling DV reporters will include myself, Technical Editor Jay Holben, and Contributing Editors Ned Soltz and Iain Stasukevich — each offering a unique perspective on what’s what and who’s doing it. You can check in at www.dv.com throughout the event for our entries as they happen. I’m sure a few unexpected voices will be added to the mix as well.

Finally, this same intrepid quartet, in addition to Videography Editor Cristina Clapp and Contributing Editor Oliver Peters — among others — will weigh in on selecting DV’s 2009 Black Diamond Award winners, honoring the most promising new products making their debut at the NAB Show this year. Some may already be shipping, others still in the prototype stage or wrapped in a beta-testing cocoon — but they will all be tools that help drive your creativity and serve this magazine’s readership of independent video professionals.

If you want to nominate your company’s ingenious offering for Black Diamond consideration, drop me an e-mail with specs, images and an NAB Show booth number before April 20.

The desert awaits.
David E. Williams, Editor
