NAB 2013: Importance of Audio from Teradek on Vimeo.

In the third of our discussion panels, originally streamed live a few weeks ago from the Teradek booth at NAB2013, Matt Allard hosts a panel to discuss the importance of audio, with Clinton Harn, and Steve Weiss. So many shooters overlook audio, perhaps through lack of knowledge or just not realising its importance. The panel discuss why in many ways the sound is more important than the picture. A very worthwhile watch for anyone wanting to improve their real world audio.
