here. We’re also heading to Integrate in Australia the week after next, and you can see that MicroSite
here. Be sure to take a look at NEC Display’s super quiet new projector, BlackMagic’s 6K camera and new features added to Extron’s SMP 111. Sharp’s also shipping its 8K display now! Check out the stories below.
