Oli is a humanoid robot with 31 degrees of freedom, intended for use in factory settings to replace human labor. Released in the previous year, it is priced at $60,000 for the international market. The robot features a modular design to simplify maintenance and repairs, with options for customization, such as different heads, available at an additional cost. The long-term vision for Oli is to perform a wide range of tasks, allowing humans to focus on other activities.

The tour continues to Evital, a company developing an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicle for passenger transport. The representative explains that the aircraft is already being sold in several countries, including the USA, Mexico, and France. Safety is a key design consideration, with multiple redundancy systems. The vehicle can reportedly land safely even if one or two of its engines fail, and it is equipped with an airbag and a parachute system for emergencies.

Another company featured is I-linking, which specializes in logistical intelligent systems. They display a hybrid VTOL cargo drone designed for long-range delivery. This drone takes off and lands vertically like a multirotor but transitions to horizontal, wing-based flight for efficiency. It can carry a payload of 10 to 20 kilograms over a distance of more than 50 kilometers, reaching speeds exceeding 130 km/h. A specific use case mentioned is the delivery of medical supplies in Mongolia.

Throughout the video, various other robotic systems are briefly shown, including a quadruped robot dog with a large sensor array on its head. The collection of technologies highlights a focus on autonomous mobility, logistics, and labor automation.

The multiviewer section shows Apantac’s compact and modular approach, including UHD outputs, 12G inputs, HDMI models, openGear versions, and TAHOMA-style mix-and-match I/O layouts. The demo combines different resolutions and formats such as 1080p60, 2160p59.94, HDMI, and 12G-SDI on the same display wall, with audio meters, clocks, labels, logos, text overlays, and configuration software for control-room-style monitoring.

A major part of the booth is Apantac’s KVM over IP system, demonstrated with 4K video over a 1Gb Ethernet network and very low visible latency. The setup includes HDMI input and output, USB control, copper and fiber network connectivity, and the ability to switch between multiviewer mode and KVM control. User access management is also shown, including different accounts and permission levels such as view-only, control, occupy, exclusive access, or disabled.

The “video plumbing” area covers the less glamorous but essential part of professional AV and broadcast design: HDMI distribution amplifiers, HDMI switchers, SDI/HDMI/DisplayPort conversion, extenders, embedders, de-embedders, rear modules, and card-based versions for openGear frames. These are the devices that keep complex systems interoperable when sources, monitors, routers, production switchers, and computer workstations all need to speak different video formats.

Filmed at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, the interview also gives a sense of how Apantac’s product range has expanded over 18 years of NAB appearances. Thomas Tang explains the company’s three main categories with a clear engineering mindset: multiviewers for seeing everything, KVM over IP for controlling workstations remotely, and modular video tools for connecting everything else without redesigning the whole rack.

The discussion shows how the PDT-FP1 fits both still photography and video workflows. Photojournalists can use Sony’s Transfer & Tagging app to send files to FTP or cloud services while embedding IPTC metadata, captions, photographer details and voice-to-text notes. For video teams, the same device can upload clips, stream live over RTMP, connect into Ci Media Cloud, C3 Portal, Network RX Station or third-party Android apps, making it useful for news, sport, event production and fast editorial turnaround.

A key technical theme is connectivity reliability. Sony designed the antenna system around the body of the device and added internal cooling so high-speed 5G transfer can run for longer periods without thermal throttling. The interview also covers Sony’s eSIM concept demo shown at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, where one profile could potentially roam across major carriers and select the strongest available network, with future enterprise possibilities around priority bandwidth, private 5G and network slicing.

The PDT-FP1 is not only a file-transfer box. With HDMI or UVC/UAC input from compatible cameras, it can work as a professional external monitor with tools such as waveform and false color, while also encoding, recording or streaming. It can be powered by its internal 5000 mAh battery or an external USB-C power bank, and the transcript explores practical production setups such as 4K live streaming, H.264/H.265 recording options, Ethernet uplinks, USB modems and bonding through tools such as Speedify.

The wider Sony ecosystem matters here: the PDT-FP1 can sit beside Alpha, FX and professional Sony cameras, while Monitor & Control handles multi-camera exposure, focus, white balance, LUTs and framing over Wi-Fi or wired LAN. The result is a compact bridge between camera, cloud, editor and live distribution, useful for remote production, motorsport coaching, sideline sports coverage, IRL streaming and fast-turnaround media delivery where the upload path is as important as the camera feed.

LTO tape uses strontium ferrite magnetic material on the latest generation cartridges, offering significantly improved areal density compared to earlier barium ferrite formulations. The representative demonstrated 30TB and 40TB cartridges, noting the technology continues to improve with each generation approximately doubling capacity. Hard drive longevity was contrasted against tape archival life, with hard drives rated around five years versus tape cartridges rated for 30-year archive life. Cartridges can be stored at room temperature in dual cases or protective housings, making them suitable for off-site disaster recovery scenarios.

The dual-drive configuration was presented as a popular option for creating redundant copies for separate geographic locations, addressing fire, flood, and water damage risks. Transfer speeds reach 300MB/s on half-height LTO drives, comparable to or faster than typical hard drive transfers rated around 200MB/s. Full verification loops ensure data integrity during write operations, with read speeds matching write performance. The representative noted that even full 18TB tape fills complete in hours, not all day, with transfer times similar to hard drive operations.

LTFS (Linear Tape File System) was explained as the key enabling technology, creating file-level indexing that allows direct mounting in Windows or Mac file explorers for drag-and-drop file retrieval without proprietary backup software. This standard, developed on LTO generation five by IBM, replaces legacy tar archive workflows that required restoring entire backup sets. File seeking uses cartridge indexes to locate data without tape wear concerns, enabling random access to individual files without repeated full-tape traversals. The technology supports both archiving at 30-year retention and automated nightly backup scheduling.

The representative confirmed that IBM manufactures all LTO tape drives globally, with Fujifilm and Sony producing the magnetic tape cartridges themselves. Magstor offers rental programs for LTO drives as an alternative to capital purchases, with most rental partners based in the US and limited international availability. Pricing and specification details reflect current market conditions as of the NAB 2026 exhibition date.

The SR 009 supports heavy camera configurations including the Sony FX6 paired with a 2x anamorphic 70-135mm zoom lens and X221 battery system. Two independent mounting plates allow forward and backward positioning adjustments, providing fine-tuned counterbalance control without requiring re-rigging. The base retains a standard Manfrotto plate for direct tripod attachment.

Modularity is central to the design. Users can remove handles and follow focus motors to create a stripped-down configuration. The system transitions between shoulder rig, VCT plate mounting, and tripod-only setups without additional hardware, addressing the needs of solo operators who cannot rely on crew assistance for camera reconfiguration.

The design philosophy prioritizes rapid deployment for time-sensitive productions. Operators can switch from shoulder-mounted operation to gimbal-compatible or stationary setups by removing the VCT plate, maintaining camera positioning on standard rods throughout transitions. A magic arm accessory combined with the quarter-twenty mounting point provides alternative follow focus mounting when standard rosette positioning is unavailable.

Smallrig positions the SR 009 as a universal rigging solution for independent filmmakers, content creators, and solo shooters who require flexible equipment configurations across different production scenarios. The system addresses the logistical challenges of managing camera weight and setup time on professional film sets where crew availability is limited.

The Core keeps the same production logic as the larger RØDECaster Video family: scenes, transitions, picture-in-picture layouts, source routing, and quick switching between cameras, webcams, NDI sources, USB microphones, and connected RØDE audio devices. In practice, it works like a small video control room that can be driven from a computer, or paired with a RØDECaster Pro or RØDECaster Duo for hands-on audio and interface control.

A key part of the workflow is auto switching, where video follows audio with adjustable behavior rather than simply cutting blindly to the loudest microphone. Cameras can be linked to audio sources, wide shots can be assigned priority, and the system can be tuned for multi-person podcasts, interviews, livestreams, webinars, or compact studio setups. This NAB 2026 Las Vegas demo also shows how quickly picture-in-picture scenes can be created and saved during a live setup.

The broader RØDECaster Video range adds more I/O depending on the model, with the original RØDECaster Video offering more HDMI inputs, multiple HDMI outputs, extra USB ports, headphone outputs, and the same scene-based operating concept. The smaller Video S and the headless Core are aimed at more compact workflows while keeping the same approach to HDMI, UVC, NDI, RTMP/RTMPS streaming, ISO-style production, keying, and software-defined layouts.

The conversation also connects the video side to RØDE’s audio ecosystem, including Revolution preamps, built-in wireless receiver support for compatible RØDE transmitters, USB and XLR microphones such as the PodMic USB, and accessories like the LPA1 studio arm and DS3 desktop stand. The result is less about replacing a full broadcast switcher and more about making a tightly integrated creator studio: cameras, microphones, network video, audio processing, and live streaming in one modular workflow.

The RodeLink 2 employs adaptive output power that automatically adjusts transmission strength from 1 to 15 milliwatts based on link conditions. A sub-gigahertz control frequency coordinates frequency hopping between primary and backup channels, automatically scanning the environment to select optimal frequencies and detect interference. When interference is detected, the system first increases transmitter power and then hops to an alternate frequency if needed.

Audio is transmitted as a complete digital link rather than analog, eliminating traditional fade issues and SNR challenges. The system effectively transmits 32-bit floating point equivalent audio over the air, capturing the full dynamic range from microphone noise floor to overload point. Transmitters record raw backup audio to internal microSD cards while simultaneously sending processed audio to the receiver, enabling post-production adjustments from the backup files.

The receiver offers analog output, time code input and output, and USB audio output for a full digital path when connected via USB-C. The system features a single record button, a slide power switch to prevent accidental activation, and removable batteries. Time code is embedded in audio files and can synchronize recordings across multiple devices, simplifying multi-camera and multi-track workflows.

For digital connections, USB-C provides a direct digital link that bypasses additional D/A conversion stages. The system supports gain assist modes for automatic dynamic control while maintaining the raw backup for complete flexibility in post-production.

@photojoseph talks through a very practical NAB conversation about cameras, lenses, live production, and what matters when gear is actually used in the field. The discussion moves from the DJI “chicken head” gimbal camera concept and 8K capture to the kind of tools creators use every day: full-frame mirrorless bodies, fast cinema glass, compact multicam switchers, and simple rigs that can still deliver a polished image. https://photojoseph.com/

One of the most interesting technical points is the NiSi 50mm T1.0 full-frame cinema lens, shown with PL/LPL-style cinema mounting and adaptable workflows. A T1.0 prime is about extreme light transmission and very shallow depth of field, especially on full-frame sensors, while a matching 75mm T1.0 direction points toward a lens set aimed at cinematic portraiture, controlled focus falloff, and low-light production rather than only traditional photo filter use.

Filmed at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, the conversation also touches on Panasonic Lumix and the S1II as a compact daily shooter. The key feature here is 6K open gate recording, which captures the full sensor area and gives editors much more flexibility for vertical reframing, horizontal delivery, stabilization, and social formats without needing to shoot everything twice. For creators balancing YouTube, Instagram, and live content, open gate is less of a spec-sheet detail and more of a workflow tool for modern distribution.

PhotoJoseph also explains his return to live streaming, especially around @YoloLivTech and the YoloBox Extreme which I filmed here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcsjUtwYamc The appeal is clear: all-in-one live switching, 4K streaming, multicam input handling, monitoring, encoding, and portable production in a single device class. The broader theme is that creator production is becoming more compact but not necessarily simpler; the best tools now combine cinema optics, high-resolution capture, open gate flexibility, and live broadcast features into a more mobile kit.

The discussion goes deep into autofocus, where the Alpha 7 V uses AI-based human pose estimation and subject recognition to track eyes, faces, bodies, animals, vehicles, and small subjects more intelligently. Sony emphasizes pupil-level eye AF, even when the face is partially hidden by sunglasses, helmets, or action movement, making the camera relevant for sports, motorsport, event work, interviews, and fast documentary capture.

For video, the Alpha 7 V moves closer to Sony’s cinema and creator camera logic with full-width 4K 60p recording, 4K 120p capability, 10-bit workflows, improved thermal behavior, and a 4-axis vari-angle LCD that can be moved away from the body for better monitoring and heat dissipation. The interview also covers real-world recording limits, with Sony describing long 4K recording sessions when the screen is positioned away from the heat exhaust area.

At NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, Sony also shows how the Alpha 7 V fits into the wider Alpha ecosystem alongside the Alpha 1 II, the Alpha 9 III global shutter camera, the ZV-E1, and the G Master lens lineup. The comparison is useful because the Alpha 7 V is not positioned as Sony’s absolute flagship, but as a high-performance hybrid body that borrows important speed, AI autofocus, stabilization, and video ideas from higher-end Alpha and Cinema Line DNA.

The ZV-E1 is also briefly discussed as Sony’s compact full-frame vlogging body using the same sensor family as the Alpha 7S III and FX3, with strong low-light video performance and AI framing features. Together, the cameras show Sony’s current direction: faster sensor readout, deeper AI subject recognition, more practical articulating screens, stronger stabilization for handheld video, and full-frame mirrorless bodies designed for creators who move between stills, video, live events, and compact production setups without changing system or lens mount.

The demo connects systems such as the FS6400 all-flash array and HD6500 high-density storage, showing how 4K, 6K, and potentially 8K editing can sit on fast storage while older or less frequently used files move toward SAS hard drive capacity. The HD6500 platform is built around 60 bays in the main chassis and can scale with expansion units up to 300 drive bays and multi-petabyte archive capacity, making it relevant for facilities dealing with camera originals, mezzanine codecs, proxy workflows, backup sets, and long-term media.

Synology Tiering is not presented here as an AI-driven prediction system, but as a policy-based DSM workflow. Administrators can define rules based on last access time, last modified time, available capacity, and scheduled movement, allowing hot and cold tiers to behave more like one managed file-server environment. That matters for media teams because SSD capacity is expensive, while project libraries, renders, cache files, and archive footage tend to grow much faster than active edit storage budgets.

The video also touches on Synology’s PAS7700, the company’s active-active NVMe all-flash storage platform for tier-zero and tier-one workloads. With dual controllers, NVMe SSD architecture, high-speed networking options, and support for file and block workloads, it fits the same broader direction: fast shared storage for AI workloads, VDI, databases, and demanding video pipelines, paired with larger storage systems for retention and archive. Filmed at NAB 2026 Las Vegas, the booth demo shows live 10GbE editing from Synology storage rather than only describing the setup.

For creators, broadcasters, and post houses, the interesting part is not just raw throughput, but lifecycle management: ingest, active edit, shared project access, backup, archive, and recall. Synology is positioning its rackmount systems less as isolated NAS boxes and more as a layered storage environment, combining all-flash performance, SAS hard drive density, DSM management, firmware-controlled drive compatibility, and upcoming rackmount updates expected around Computex as part of the same enterprise roadmap.

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 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.
