NAB chief: Level the playing field on content distribution
The way the head of the National Association of Broadcasters sees it, consumers want more broadcast-quality video content in their hands.
They’d like to see live feeds of the triumphs and tragedies of their local communities as they happen.
And they want it for free.
But for now, federal regulators aren’t allowing that to occur because the broadcast industry — over-the-air radio and television stations — and the broadband industry — Internet content distributed on wireless devices — play by different sets of rules.
Gordon Smith, president and CEO of the association, wants that to change and made his case in the opening session of the broadcasting convention that has brought more than 94,000 people to Las Vegas.

NAB: ‘Gravity's’ Emmanuel Lubezki on the New World of Filmmaking – ‘Same Job, Different Tools’
The Oscar winner says he can see a day when directors won't even use cinematographers
Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki made his name shooting on film and helping create the look of movies like “A Little Princess,” “Sleepy Hollow” and “The Tree of Life,” all of which won him Oscar nominations.
But his collaboration with director Alfonso Cuaron on “Gravity” has put Lubezki – or “Chivo,” as everyone calls him – in the forefront of the new style of digital filmmaking, in which cinematographers don't light a physical set so much as they help design virtual spaces that as often as not don't ever have an actual camera pointed at them.

The NAB Show and Tele-Vestigial Trends
This week, the people of broadcast television make their way to Las Vegas for the annual gathering of the National Association of Broadcasters.
For broadcasters in particular, it’s a weird time to be in television. The word itself — television — is equal parts strongly nostalgic and tele-vestigial. Say “television” to a millennial and you’re a relic. Say it to any of us who grew up with that one screen as the central viewing device, it’s home.
The identity crisis facing traditional television is evident even in the show’s tagline this year: “Where Content Comes to Life.”
We took a quick poll of our favorite go-to broadcastside technologists over the last few week to find out what’s on their shopping lists for this year’s show. Not surprisingly, 4K video and its consumer-facing brand, UltraHD, will be the main event — but not all technologists are convinced it’s a go.
