Blackmagic Design at NAB 2026: DaVinci Resolve 21 and Fairlight Live Redefine the Production Stack Blackmagic Design is arriving at NAB 2026 with two releases that together cover opposite ends of the production pipeline: DaVinci Resolve 21 extends the company’s post-production platform into still photography with a full node-based color workflow, while Fairlight Live introduces a software-defined live audio mixer capable of handling thousands of channels in broadcast-grade environments. Both are available immediately as free public betas, and both will be on the floor at booth #N2502.

Panasonic Video and Audio Systems North America is using NAB Show 2026 (booth #C3509, April 19–22) to consolidate its case for IP and IT infrastructure as the foundational layer of modern broadcast and live production. The exhibit spans cameras, control systems, automation software, and a newly announced integration partnership with NEP Group, with KAIROS — Panasonic’s IT/IP-based live production platform — at the center of the floor layout. KAIROS and the IP Production Argument KAIROS continues to serve as Panasonic’s primary argument against traditional hardware switcher architectures.
