Summary
A data analysis of product announcements from 148 exhibitors at NAB Show 2026, drawing on trade press coverage to decode vendor messaging across North, Central, and West halls. Contrary to prevailing post-show narratives, AI was not the top word: control, cloud, and IP ranked higher. The article finds that live sports was the dominant use case, on-prem cloud was the top bigram, and the overall tone of vendor language signalled pragmatic moderation rather than exuberance.
