NAB 2018 sees the official launch of two new products from Tangent:  Arc and Wave2. We showed the prototypes of these at last year’s NAB, and now you can try them out in their final configuration.

We’re doing things a little differently on our booth this year; we’ll have three workstations running with Arc panels, dedicated to the following applications:

• Autodesk, Lustre
• SGO, Mistika Ultima
• Digital Vision, Nucoda

Then there will be four multi-purpose workstations running a selection of other software packages which support our panels. On these you’ll be able to see the newly introduced Wave2 in addition to the Element and Ripple panels.

We’ll also be showing some new technology demonstrators in action:

• A plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro written by Tangent which extends the range of controls available in Premiere that can be added to our panels, using the Tangent Mapper.
• CommandPost – a partner application which allows our panels to operate many controls in Apple Final Cut Pro X, including the new Color Wheels, via the Tangent Mapper.
• A plugin for the Foundry’s Nuke family of products which will allow any of our panels to control these applications.

As usual, you’ll also find our panels on a number of our partners’ booths around the LVCC and there will be a further set of Arc panels in the Autodesk Technology Suite at the Renaissance hotel.

We hope to see you in Vegas!
