[BC] Best or worst of NAB

[Chuck Lakaytis]

Actually I did see a working Intraplex at the Harris booth.

I was introduced to the head of Rf marketing.  They have lots of neat stuff 
in the pipeline.  10 KW FM in a 19 inch rack.  Reducing the size of the Z 
line, etc.

But looking at the Harris booth and the rest of the show I have come to 
realize that the industry is becoming very involved in content management, 
especially in the video world.

And did you notice the difference between Avid and Apple?  Not just the 
equipment and software.  The people are a different civilization, almost.

I found the Apple booth folks almost overjoyed to show me new features.  (Of 
course none of them are over fourteen years old---lol)

At the PREC there was a presentation about IBOC translators.  Fanfare/Crown 
sent a marketing wonk instead of an engineer to do the company presentation. 
He was almost into the "oxygen free copper" mode.
