The 2010 NAB convention begins in less than a week. In exactly one week (from the time this was posted) many of us will be attending the 9th annual Las Vegas SuperMeet. It will be held at the Rio Hotel again this year and from the looks of the world famous raffle that’s going to be reason to enough to attend with over $78,000 in prizes. Giveaways will include a Canon 7D (of course!), an AJA Kona 3 and AJA Breakout box (maybe separate, maybe together), an Apple iPad (of course again), nVidia Quadro FX 4800 forMac graphics card, two Blackmagic Design DeckLink Studio cards and software galore including a Final Cut Studio, Adobe CS4 Production Premium, Maxon Cinema 4D Broadcast edition and a copy of Avid Media Composer. It’s crazy to think about Avid and Adobe products at the FCP User Group SuperMeet but this is a big year for the 3 Big A’s at the SuperMeet. According to organizer Mike Horton this will be the first time that representatives from all three big A’s will appear together on the same stage on the same night.

As of right now it looks like we might see Adobe’s Jason Levine highlighting the new capabilities of Adobe Production Premium CS5, Avid’s Angus Mackay introducing editor and filmmaker Misha Tenenbaum who will explore his use of the AMA plugin architecture with Sony XDCam HD and Canon 7D cameras for his new show, “Handicapped John” and Apple’s FCP Sr. Product Manager Steve Bayes returning to the SuperMeet stage to talk about new partner support for ProRes and Stereo 3D. That’s going to make for an interesting SuperMeet. Plus there’s a number of other presenters that will be onstage next week as well.
