The Media Production and Technology Show 2023 was a gathering of industry professionals, innovators, and enthusiasts from across the globe, providing a platform to showcase the latest advancements and trends in the dynamic field of media production and technology.
As we take a moment to reflect on this remarkable event, we are brimming with inspiration and excitement for the future of creative endeavours. In this blog post, we will delve into our thoughts and highlights from the show, exploring the profound impact of innovation, the workflow enhancements brought about by new product technologies, and the boundless possibilities that lie ahead.
Let's start with a brief overview of the brands and products featured at our stand:
Symply
Having debuted Symply’s Disk, Tape and Cloud product lineup in the UK at last year’s show, it was great to meet so many users that have adopted either Spark, an LTO system or Nebula (cloud) over the past 12-months – and some customers that are now utilising all three in their production workflows. A big focus last week was on the new Workspace XE and Transporter solutions that begin shipping next month.
Collaborative workflows on-location and in small production offices are addressed through Workspace XE – an ethernet-based storage area network (SAN) solution starting from £12,999 that is built to be quiet, compact and transportable and provide direct connection for us to 14x users without the need for any additional network switches. Workspace XE offers high levels of performance with HDD, NVMe and hybrid configurations available and seamless integration with the public cloud to scale capacity and integrate with remote workflows. Built on the same portable hardware platform, Transporter is a new and unique S3 native edge appliance designed to provide highly secure and resilient storage wherever you need it with secure private cloud functionality and integration with public cloud services and the ability to run embedded application and fully integrate with cloud computing services.
P.S. Symply Yo-Yos have taken the show by storm, captivating yo-yo and media enthusiasts with their unique wooden construction perfectly aligning with their plastic-free brand ideology. There will be more at IBC 2023 ;)

LaCie
Everyone knows everyone knows LaCie’s iconic Rugged drives, and has likely used them at some stage in production, but a lot of visitors weren’t aware of the latest NVMe-based Rugged SSD and Rugged SSD Pro models available. Rugged SSD models offer best-in-case features, performance and warranty that like all LaCie drives are also backed by Rescue Data Recovery Services as standard. 2big Dock with it’s RAID 0/1 configurable storage and integrated USB hub and SDXC, CFast 2.0 and CFexpress Type-B card readers appealed to users of other two-drive systems.
Camera accessories
Our Sony FX6, kindly supplied by Hireacamera.com, was rigged out with support and ergonomic enhancements from SHAPE and featured battery and power upgrades from Hedbox alongside professional SDXC and CFexpress Type-A media by Angelbird and pro-grade cabling from ZILR.
