Ninth annual Vision Mixers Show to be held on 25 April at the NFTS

The Vision Mixers Guild has announced that its 2019 Vision Mixers Show will be held at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield on 25 April. The event brings together end-users with all the vision mixer vendors: EVS/DYVI, For-A, Grass Valley, NewTek, Ross Video and Sony. The event will be only £8 to attend for vision mixers, engineers, facility managers and other broadcast professionals.

The concept is simple: the people who operate and engineer vision mixing desks in studios and outside broadcast facilities (many of whom are freelance) come together to meet the mixer specialists with a view to gaining more knowledge about the desks. Since most broadcast operations professionals are freelance, training and information on the latest mixer software updates don’t always filter down to the end-user.

Free training will also be provided by the Guild on 24 and 26 April on selected vsion mixing desks at the NFTS (just sign up an become a member of the Vision Mixers Guild for £30 a year, which also includes free VM Show entry).

“We are very lucky to have all the big players in the Industry behind us,” said show organiser Trevor Bailey. “NFTS is a super location just off the M40/M25. There is parking or it’s a 30-minute train ride from London. It’s a great day out with all the manufacturers present to educate and demonstrate to the attending VMs and engineers. It’s not about sales (like IBC and NAB) and everyone turns up on that basis.”
