The NAB Show doesn’t officially open until Monday, but that doesn’t stop the techies. The BEITC kicked off today with the popular Engage! sessions, NAB tech leaders spoke to Technology Apprenticeship Program (TAP) and the Global UHD Conference promoted the adoption of the new format.
I can’t think of a more appropriate way to celebrate than a dancing robot, which thanks to Nikon, we have:

The BEITC Engage! sessions feature five concurrent speakers taking on a diverse selection of broadcast technology topics from SMPTE 2110 to blockchain.
The Global UHD Conference seeks to advance the adoption of Ultra High Definition TV, a topic of particular interest to broadcasters as the Next Gen TV standard supports the format.
The NAB Technology Apprenticeship Program (TAP) is made up of recent college graduates with an interest in broadcast technology. The program gives students a one-of-a-kind educational experience through paid, hands-on training at a radio or TV station and exposure to the latest technology and advances in the industry. Today, NAB CTO Sam Matheny and PILOT Executive Director John Clark, spoke to the TAP students about PILOT, the current state of technology and future opportunities.
