The demo shows how a presenter can be placed inside a photorealistic virtual set using a tracked camera, green screen, LED volume workflows or hybrid XR setups. InfinitySet receives camera position and lens data in real time, then renders the correct perspective so foreground talent, virtual screens, 3D objects, reflections, shadows and set extensions stay aligned with the physical camera view.

At NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, Brainstorm is showing Suite 7 features including native Gaussian Splatting support in eStudio, AI voice commands, and tools for generating 3D characters or volumetric presence from video sources. The workflow is designed for broadcast environments where virtual studios, augmented reality graphics, immersive data visualization and live storytelling need to remain responsive without waiting for offline render work.

Brainstorm also highlights its long integration with Unreal Engine, while keeping its own eStudio engine available for projects that need tight broadcast control, multi-camera output, AR layers, graphics playout and deterministic real-time performance. Aston adds real-time 2D and 3D motion graphics, while InfinitySet can scale from smaller fixed-camera productions to large TV stations running virtual news, sports, entertainment or branded live content on air.

The wider story is not just about replacing physical sets, but about giving production teams more flexible scene design, faster graphics workflows and better interaction between presenters, data, cameras and virtual space. With newer GPUs, higher scene complexity becomes practical: more realistic lighting, more movement, richer virtual materials, better shadows and more dynamic AR content, all while staying focused on live production rather than post-production use case.

The Ultra includes wide frequency response for accurate high and low-end reproduction, differentiating it from competitors whose microphones apply frequency limiting. The touch screen receiver enables full system control, including output mode selection, headphone monitoring, and adjustable gain for driving full-size headphones. The system ships with either Lavalier SR-C19 or SR-C239 microphones, and supports class-compliant USB-C connectivity for direct integration with DJI Osmo Pocket, Osmo Action, and other USB-C devices.

A notable advantage is the SRCA adapter ($3), which provides a 3.5mm connection via Sony hot-shoe compatible cameras for simplified audio capture. The adapter also enables 4-channel audio input when using multi-channel Sony cameras where the native 3.5mm input cannot accommodate four channels directly. Headphone monitoring is available by switching output mode, allowing real-time gain adjustment directly on the receiver.

Unlike the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 which offers limited mono input through USB-C with fixed output levels, the Saramonic Ultra provides adjustable gain and headphone monitoring for professional monitoring workflows. The internal microphone on the Ultra handles higher SPL and captures wider frequency response compared to lavalier microphones, though included lavs also provide quality audio. Saramonic USA positions the Ultra as a professional alternative for creators requiring robust audio quality, water resistance, and flexible integration with camera systems and action cameras.

The system includes USB-C and Lightning connectivity and can be used with traditional camera setups via adapters. Saramonic USA offers the Saramonic Ultra as a flagship product in their wireless microphone lineup, targeting professional videographers, content creators, and broadcast professionals attending events like NAB 2026.

The LU900Q is positioned as a modern replacement for the older logic of satellite trucks, especially for breaking news, sports, remote production and fast field contribution. Instead of relying on fixed SIM cards, it can use LiveU IQ and eSIM technology to adapt across Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile or other available networks, while also bonding external IP connections such as Starlink Mini. That makes the device useful not only for live streaming, but also for file transfer, rapid content upload, monitoring and remote camera control from the field.

Technically, the unit is designed for much more than a single ENG camera feed. It supports dual camera input with SDI, HDMI and IP sources, including PTZ cameras, USB cameras and mixed camera workflows. It also adds 4K, 10-bit HDR, 4:2:2 encoding, dual video return, dual intercom and battery operation up to around seven hours, which matters when crews are moving through stadiums, remote areas or breaking-news locations without reliable power or fixed internet.

Filmed at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, the discussion also shows how LiveU is expanding beyond the backpack into a broader IP video ecosystem. LiveU Studio handles cloud production, LiveU Matrix supports content distribution, and the ingest portal ties contribution into managed broadcast workflows. The booth also highlights LiveU’s Sony partnership around the TX1 transmitter, connecting camera acquisition directly into Sony workflows and now also into the LiveU ecosystem for more flexible contribution and distribution.

The most interesting part is how LiveU is starting to connect AI, metadata and field production. The LU900Q platform can support gesture-based control, object detection and metadata tagging, helping make footage more searchable after capture. For journalists, sports producers and mobile creators, this points toward a future where bonding, codec efficiency, live return feeds, AI tagging, cloud production and REMI workflows become part of the same compact field setup.

The system is described as an FPGA plus Linux architecture, which helps explain why Sprolink is putting switching, graphics, instant replay and recording into a relatively compact all-in-one unit. Built-in instant replay can capture the program feed and play back a short clip directly from the switcher, while ISO recording records the individual inputs together with the program output, reducing the need for extra replay or recording hardware in small sports, church, education and event production setup.

The booth also includes larger and smaller Sprolink live production models, including 10-channel laptop-style switchers, 4-channel HDMI/SDI models, 5-channel portable live streaming switchers and versions with physical audio faders. The product direction is clear: combine multi-view monitoring, program output, media playback, audio mixing, RTMP-style live streaming, recording and camera control into devices that can travel easily but still support professional signal workflow.

PTZ operation is another important part of the demo. Sprolink shows joystick control for NDI/PTZ sources, a dedicated PTZ keyboard, and device-side auto-tracking that can add tracking behavior even with older PTZ cameras that do not have built-in tracking. This makes the setup interesting for productions with multiple robotic cameras, remote operators, fixed installations, or smaller teams trying to cover more angles without a full camera crew.

Filmed at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, the interview also covers 4K HDMI and SDI output, active optical HDMI cables for long-distance runs of around 100 meters, and a wireless transmitter supporting HDMI and USB-C video sources at up to 4K30 over 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz with a claimed range of around 300 meters. Sprolink positions these tools for churches, live events, football and soccer coverage, streaming studios and multi-camera production where NDI, HDMI, SDI, PTZ and portable switching need to work together in one practical kit.

A key part of the story is the engineering behind the interface. YoloLiv describes separate teams working on system architecture, hardware drivers, and the main application layer so that HDMI, USB, storage, cellular modems, networking, monitoring, and touch control behave as one stable production environment. For users filming weddings, sports, conferences, events, podcasts, and IRL streams, the value is not only the number of ports but the way the device hides much of the traditional complexity of switchers, encoders, capture cards, recorders, and streaming laptops.

The YoloBox Extreme is also presented as a bonded live streaming platform. With built-in cellular and support for additional USB modem dongles, it can combine multiple mobile networks such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile for more reliable field production. YoloLiv also discusses YoloCast, its cloud layer for multistreaming, hosted live video, and global server infrastructure, including regions such as the US, Europe, Singapore, Australia, and Korea. Filmed at NAB 2026 Las Vegas, the conversation connects portable hardware with cloud workflows, remote guests, live subtitles, and future AI-assisted highlight generation.

The interview also looks beyond switching into automation. YoloLiv is working on AI-assisted camera switching, especially for podcast and interview formats where the system can react to who is speaking and select a single shot, wide shot, or side-by-side view. This points toward a future where small production teams can combine PTZ cameras, HDMI sources, remote guests, live graphics, subtitles, recording, and streaming in one compact workflow, with fewer manual decisions during the live show and more metadata for editing after the post.

YoloLiv also shows the YoloCam S3 and S7 cameras, including the S7 with HDMI and USB output, Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lenses, and 4K60 streaming-camera positioning. Together with products like YoloDeck and the YoloBox family, the company is building a broader ecosystem around multicam production, mobile live streaming, camera control, cloud publishing, ISO recording, and future AI tools. The roadmap discussed includes refreshing existing YoloBox models with stronger processors while also moving toward more professional I/O such as SDI and XLR audio for higher-end production setup.

What makes the Air SE relevant is not just the price, but how aggressively this category is moving toward computational audio. Saramonic positions its AI noise cancellation as a step beyond basic environmental suppression, targeting air conditioning, street ambience, and other unpredictable background noise that typically ruins phone-first recordings. That matters because the real competition here is not only other wireless mic kits, but also the convenience of recording directly into a smartphone without a separate recorder.

The next tier is the Saramonic Air, a more polished two-channel system with a display-equipped receiver, a very small transmitter, lavalier input, and magnetic or clip-based mounting. It sits in the prosumer segment where creators want cleaner gain structure, more secure lav connection, and better day-to-day usability without moving all the way to 32-bit float field systems. Saramonic also makes clear that the Blink line is no longer the center of the range, with newer products taking over while four-person kits like the Blink 500 T4 and Blink 500 ProX B8 still cover panel, interview, and multi-talent work.

The more broadcast-facing part of the booth is built around the WiTalk 9X intercom platform and the K9 wireless system. WiTalk 9X is presented as a modular crew communication tool for events, production sets, and noisy job sites, with AI noise cancellation and integration potential for remote collaboration workflows. K9 moves into digital UHF territory with 32-bit float recording, top-down status visibility for sound bags, miniature lavaliers, app control, and timecode integration, which places it much closer to the requirements of documentary, ENG, and multi-camera production.

Taken together, the interview shows Saramonic trying to cover the full ladder of production audio rather than just selling creator accessories. The strategy runs from sub-$100 phone mics to four-channel wireless kits, intercom systems, digital UHF, and wireless timecode through TC NEO. Filmed at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, the booth highlights how audio brands are now competing on spectrum choice, onboard recording, timecode, modular comms, app control, and AI-based voice isolation rather than on microphone capsules alone.

The most interesting part of the discussion is the claim that Yongnuo’s 42.5mm Micro Four Thirds lens can deliver portrait rendering in the same conversation as far more established optics, but at a much lower price point compared with the Lumix Leica Nocticron for example. That puts the story less around prestige branding and more around accessible fast-aperture glass, autofocus performance, face-friendly focal lengths and practical use for creators who need shallow depth of field, sharp subject separation and a compact mirrorless setup.

There is also a broader mount strategy on display. Beyond MFT, the booth includes Sony E-mount APS-C and full-frame lenses, including a low-cost 50mm f/1.8 option and a newer wide-angle full-frame design, plus Nikon Z APS-C glass such as an 11mm f/1.8. The overall message is that Yongnuo is no longer only associated with entry-level add-ons, but with an expanding lens roadmap that targets hybrid shooters, stills creators and video users who want autofocus primes and ultra-wide options without moving into much higher pricing tiers.

Another angle in the interview is vertical integration. Stacy emphasizes in-house production in Shenzhen, dust-controlled factory conditions and more than a decade of autofocus lens development. That matters because the company is not only reselling generic optics: it is positioning itself as a real lens manufacturer with experience in optical design, autofocus tuning and mount-specific development, while shipping to a large international market.

Filmed at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, the video ends up being less about a single hero product and more about Yongnuo’s push to build a full creator stack: Micro Four Thirds cameras, autofocus portrait lenses, Sony and Nikon mirrorless glass, on-camera flash and portable stick lights for handheld shooting. It is a useful snapshot of how a Shenzhen brand is moving from budget perception toward a broader mirrorless and creator-tool identity.

A big part of the booth is the product mix itself. ROE SOLO is presented as an all-in-one MicroLED display built for fast deployment, transport, and premium rental use, while Topaz 1.5 is framed as a broadcast and live-rental panel for temporary and semi-permanent builds. The discussion highlights magnesium alloy framing, integrated edge protection, built-in locks, and a platform approach that supports flat, curved, and cube configurations, which matters when crews need repeatable rigging, fast servicing, and reliable setup across different show formats.

The technical core of the interview is really about image behavior on camera. Topaz 1.5 and Topaz 2.6 are shown running on Brompton processing, including the SQ200 8K platform, with emphasis on larger canvas sizes, rack integration, HDMI and DisplayPort ingest, and distribution to the wall over fiber or EtherCON. From there the conversation moves into genlock, shutter angle, shutter speed, sensor readout, refresh synchronization, and why LED walls still need tight coordination with cameras if you want to reduce scan lines, banding, and other in-camera artifacts in broadcast or cinematic production.

The most interesting section is the look at Ruby 1.9 BB2 with DeepSky processing and a new driver architecture that combines PAM and PWM control. That matters because low-brightness reproduction remains one of the hardest parts of LED cinematography. Instead of relying only on calibration curves and dithering tricks, this approach aims to improve grayscale behavior at very low nit levels, reduce magenta shift, and preserve cleaner shadow detail in dark virtual production scenes, nighttime environments, and other content where conventional LED walls can still look harsh or unstable.

ROE also uses the booth to connect broadcast with fixed installation. Coral 1.2 is presented as the company’s COB-based install push, while Denali is its MIP platform and Sierra sits on the same frame logic for different budgets and use cases. That shared-platform strategy is practical for integrators because it standardizes installation methods while letting buyers choose finer pixel pitch, different LED packaging, and different performance envelopes for lobbies, studios, and control-room style environments. Filmed at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, this interview gives a useful snapshot of where the market is moving: not just toward smaller pitch and higher resolution, but toward better low-brightness fidelity, unified panel ecosystems, and tighter processor-camera-wall coordination.

Umar Ahmad, AI@Edge Evangelist at Advantech, presents a practical overview of how edge AI projects move from concept to production, and why hardware choice is only one part of the equation. The talk focuses on how CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs fit different workloads, and why deployment, software readiness, thermal design, and lifecycle support often decide whether an AI product succeeds in the field. [https://www.advantech.com/](https://www.advantech.com/)

A central theme is the full AI workflow: data collection, transfer learning, model optimization, format conversion, application development, edge deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Advantech positions itself as a partner across that chain, with board support packages, drivers, benchmarking tools, SDK support, and engineering services designed to shorten the path from trained model to production-ready embedded system.

The compute discussion is grounded in real trade-offs. CPUs are described as a strong fit for general-purpose processing, rule-based AI, and lighter sensor or time-series workloads. GPUs remain the preferred option for deep learning, vision, and higher-throughput edge inference, while NPUs target lower-power AI acceleration for industrial automation and embedded vision. The point is not that one architecture wins, but that each one matches a different deployment profile.

One of the more useful parts of the presentation is the warning against treating TOPS as the only metric that matters. Umar Ahmad explains that TOPS mostly reflects raw INT8 compute and can be misleading without context. In real edge AI design, latency, throughput, power efficiency, thermal behavior, memory bandwidth, framework support, operating system compatibility, and development environment maturity are often more relevant than a headline performance number.

Recorded at Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg, this Advantech presentation also touches on practical platform selection across Intel, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Rockchip, NXP, and accelerator vendors such as Hailo, along with Ubuntu Pro support on NXP i.MX8 through Canonical. The result is a useful summary of how edge AI moves beyond demos into maintainable, scalable products built for 24/7 operation in industrial and vision-centric environments

This conversation looks at how Advantech and NXP are turning a new generation of Arm-based edge hardware into deployable industrial platforms rather than just another SoC launch. The focus is the i.MX 95 family, positioned here as the step up in compute, graphics, and edge AI capability that lets Advantech build board-level and system-level products for HMI, vision, automation, and embedded inference. The message is less about raw peak numbers than about a usable stack: silicon, modules, carrier design, software enablement, and long product availability. https://www.advantech.com/

A key theme is scalability across form factors. Advantech describes a range built around NXP processors, from compact OSM modules to SMARC and ready-to-integrate boards, so customers can move from a tiny embedded node to a more feature-rich edge computer without changing ecosystem too much. That matters in industrial design, where display support, graphics, AI acceleration, power budget, thermal envelope, and I/O density all need to be balanced against enclosure size and certification path.

The i.MX 95 part stands out here as the higher-performance option, combining stronger multimedia and graphics capability with on-chip AI processing for edge workloads. Alongside it, the i.MX 93 appears as the smaller and lower-power route, especially relevant for compact SOM designs and cost- or energy-sensitive devices. The discussion around OSM Size-S and related module formats underlines a practical market shift: customers want standardized, highly integrated compute blocks that shorten design cycles while still leaving room for custom carrier boards and application-specific I/O.

Software and compliance are just as central as hardware in this interview. Advantech highlights Ubuntu Pro support on NXP-based platforms, with the appeal of a long maintenance window and a cleaner path toward European Cyber Resilience Act requirements coming into force in 2027. In other words, the value proposition is not only edge AI or graphics, but lifecycle management, security updates, BSP stability, and a more predictable route from prototype to deployed device in regulated industrial environments.

What makes the partnership credible is the industrial framing: longevity, open ecosystem thinking, and time-to-market. NXP’s long availability commitments and Advantech’s module and off-the-shelf product strategy give OEMs flexibility to choose between a finished platform and a scalable embedded design-in path. Filmed at Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg, the interview captures a familiar reality of the embedded market: the winning products are usually the ones where silicon roadmaps, open software, module standards, and long-term maintenance line up into one coherent platform.
