Post-NAB Show 2026, I sat down with Telos Alliance’s Costa Nikols to talk about the technologies and workflow trends beginning to reshape both broadcast and ProAV.

Costa also shared insight into how these shifts are changing the role of audio teams and making advanced workflows more accessible to organizations without dedicated engineers.
