The Vitec Group is to display its extensive range of products and services for broadcast, film and photographic professionals at NAB Show 2017, Booth C6025.

At the event, the Vitec Group will bring together brands Anton/Bauer, Autocue, Autoscript, Avenger, Bexel, Camera Corps, Litepanels, Manfrotto, OConnor, OFFHollywood, Paralinx, Sachtler, SmallHD, Teradek, The Camera Store, Wooden Camera, and Vinten.

A number of solutions will be exhibited in the booths of AJA, Angenieux, ARRI, Adorama, Blackmagic Design, B&H, Canon, Fujinon, Hitachi, Ikegami, JVC, Leica, Orad, Panasonic, Sigma, Sony, and Vizrt.

For example, attendees can visit Blackmagic Design (booth SL216) to see its latest URSA Mini Pro 4.6K powered by Anton/Bauer's new CINE battery, which has been designed for high-power consumption, digital-cinema-style cameras. It will be supported by a Sachtler System 25 pedestal setup.

In addition, Panasonic will show its Lumix GH5 mirrorless digital camera in booth C3607 together with various manual and robotic supports from Vinten, including the new Vantage head (a compact, camera- and lens-agnostic robotic head that allows users to go beyond a PTZ and future-proof their studios).

Along with being on display at exhibitor booths, products from Vitec Group brands will be in active use on the sets of live shows throughout the NAB Show floor. These include Broadcast Beat's 'NAB Live Show', utilising Vinten's Hexagon robotic dolly track system, and the 'Teradek Live Show', which will employ the new Vinten Vantage and LED solutions from Litepanels on its set alongside other Vitec Group brands.

In its own booth, the Vitec Group will showcase the newest products and innovations from its family of brands, including Vinten's brand-new micro VRC controller that, when paired with the Vantage, provides a complete robotic camera solution that suits any budget. Also new is Autoscript's IP-enabled teleprompting solution. In addition, Vitec Group will be showcasing the Sachtler FSB 10 Fluid Head, an affordable introduction to the 100-millimeter class.

Alongside the products, industry professionals will be on hand in the Vitec Group booth to give advice, talk about their experiences, and discuss their latest projects with attendees. These industry experts include Director of Photography Tom Guilmette, known for his coverage of global sports events such as the Olympics and the Super Bowl. Also on the stand will be Luke Thomas, a freelance ENG cameraman whose credits include ITV's Good Morning Britain, NBC, and several other news channels. In addition, Corey Rich, an award-winning photographer and director with a broad portfolio of work for outdoor apparel, tourism, and broadcast organizations, will talk to attendees about why Litepanels is his brand of choice for LED lighting.

Alan Hollis, Senior Vice President, Production Equipment, Vitec Group, said: "Vitec Group is dedicated to giving our customers the best possible experience while they're creating inspirational content. This dedication will be on proud display at NAB as we introduce a range of new products guaranteed to improve their workflows.
