The Offset Podcast EP053: NAB 2026 Preview

April 15, 2026 · 54 min

Show notes

It's that time of year again - NAB time!

That annual gathering in the desert that in many way acts a launching point not just for new products but industry trends and standards.

In this installment of The Offset Podcast, we're discussing NAB 2026, what we hope to see, but also what we're a little worried about (AI Slop). Specific topics we'll explore in this show include:

  • The proliferation of IP video & significantly faster networking
  • Storage: innovations or vaporware due to memory shortages
  • The continued move to QD OLED and network features for monitors
  • Software: bug and workflow improvements maybe more important then shiny features
  • Plugins and the end of the film emulation craze
  • AI everywhere

If you're attending NAB - be sure to bring comfortable shoes, drink plenty of water, and take care of your voice in the loud convention halls and parties! Also there's still time to get tickets for the Colorist Mixer - check out www.coloristmixer.com for more info. As mentioned in the episode, Joey will be attending the show, if you see him please be sure to say hi
