While NAB 2008 total attendance was down, there were a record-breaking number of international attendees. Most of them were not on hand to see Apple or Avid because both companies opted out from exhibiting this year.

Many could have descended on Las Vegas to see actor/producer Tim Robbins, whose keynote address gave him the opportunity to grumble about the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. But I believe most were there to embrace the progression of HD production.

When asked about the move to HD, Dave Walton of JVC had this to say: “This is the year; this is the last year of analog broadcasting.”
