NAB

米国最大の放送機器展示会の名称。放送機器というと、テレビやラジオ関連の機器の展示会のように誤解するが、CATVのインターネット接続やビデオCGなど、放送とコンピュータの融合が進み、シーグラフ(SIGGRAPH)の前にラスベガスで開催されるコンピュータ・ショウというイメージがあり、SIGGRAPHでは飽きたらなくなった人達がどんどん参加するようになっている。TV放送業界にとってリアリティのあるハリウッド映画界を巻き込んだ、タレント、制作プロダクション、スクリプター、放送局、CATV局、テレビゲーム、インターネット、さらにWebTVなど、これから骨肉を争うディスプレイ時間の抗争を目の前にできる重要な展示会になっている。詳細情報はURL(http://www.nab.org/)で知ることができる。
