If you've ever browsed the Tools section of Arri's website, you've probably seen their ALEXA simulator, along with a number of other great resources. Well, here's some good news for those of you who are curious about the new AMIRA - Arri recently released the first version of their AMIRA simulator.

Convergent Design's Odyssey7Q is a versatile recorder/monitor that's a perfect match for the Canon C500. The Odyssey7Q acts as a great onboard monitor and is capable of recording multiple formats from multiple cameras, but when paired with the C500, it allows for 4K Raw, 2K and HD external recording. What's especially useful with this combo is the ability to record 4K Raw externally, while at the same time recording HD internally with matched filenames.

NAB is always full of exciting gear announcements and reveals, and this year was no different. Our specialists posted lots of great coverage from the show floor, which you can check out in our dedicated NAB 2014 category. Even if you didn't get a chance to attend, you can still get a feel for some of the show's highlights by checking out the videos below.

If you've stopped by our booth during this year's NAB show, you've probably noticed our great chart display. Along with our popular Resolution Analysis Chart, we're also showing off a brand new chart called the Matchmaker.

I visited the Miller booth to speak with Gus Harilou about their new Cineline 70 fluid head.

Back at last year's IBC show, Arri revealed their new AMIRA camera, and at NAB this year we are lucky enough to have one in our booth. Aimed at ENG and documentary productions, the AMIRA features a compact design and the same sensor found in the ALEXA.

We included the PAGlink Stacking Batteries in our previous New Products to Explore at NAB 2014 blog, and I recently got a chance to visit the Manios booth to see them up close.

One of NAB biggest reveals came courtesy of AJA, usually known for their range of recorders and mini-converters, like the Ki Pro Quad and LUT-box, which Andy covered yesterday. This year they unveiled the CION, a new 4K/UHD and 2K/HD production camera.

At NAB this year, Atomos is displaying a number of great new accessories at their booth, and I was able to learn a bit more about them courtesy of CEO Jeremy Young.
