At NAB in Las Vegas, Chris McNamara, Senior Technical Marketing Specialist for Elgato gave us a tour of their latest tools for creators and broadcasters. That tour included new variations on the super-popular Stream, a new mic and XLR interface, a new touchscreen display, and more. If you’re doing production, you need to be aware of these products.
Charlotte Henry and Chuck Joiner discuss NAB 2026, the rapid evolution of creator and broadcast tools, and how once-expensive production gear is becoming accessible. They then examine Tim Cook’s move to executive chairman, John Ternus becoming Apple CEO, and what the transition may mean for Apple TV, services, AI, marketing, original content, customer surveys, and Apple’s future streaming strategy.
From NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, Broadcast Blinds’ CEO Rick Smith reviews their expertise in controlling natural light for video production and introduces a new portable solution. Designed for mobile crews and prosumer creators, the unit uses layered gels and scrims to manage brightness and background exposure. Quick setup and adjustable light reduction make it practical for changing conditions, expanding its use beyond studios to sports, field reporting, and on-location content creation.
On the show floor at NAB we got to connect with our old friend Oliver Breidenbach, CEO of Boinx Software and mimoLive. Oliver catches us up on what’s new in mimoLive, including Zoom integration and a new free evaluation license ideal for creators, educators, and mobile journalists. The platform now offers advanced video compositing, flexible formats, and real-time remote production capabilities. Updates to other Boinx products like FotoMagico also continue under a subscription model for rapid innovation.
