Story Highlights
While the 2021 NAB Show has been moved to October, the spring season will still feature a cavalcade of new product releases and groundbreaking news coming out of the broadcast technology sector. In an effort to keep the video-production community informed, SVG is hosting a series of SportsTech On Demand video interviews throughout April, May, and June with executives from the industry's top technology vendors.
Disguise Chief Commercial Officer Tom Rockhill provides a demo from disguise's mixed-reality stage in London, detailing how a 3 meter x 3 meter LED space can be used to create a 360-degree state of the art studio using the company's technology. In addition, Tom chats about real-world installations using disguise's XR technology, including for Eurosport at the 2018 Winter Olympics, ITV Sport at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, for the NBA during its Orlando bubble last year, and, most recently for Eurosport at the US Open and Australian Open.
