speakers. The 29th edition of the premier industry B2B event will introduce new features

for visitors, including an on-site Virtual Production Studio, CABSAT Podcast, and more.

Created and driven by PixoJam, the Virtual Production Studio will offer guidance, best
practices, and other information to filmmakers looking to utilise virtual sets for movies,
TV shows, commercials, and live events, as well as showcasing a sustainable solution
for the industry that cuts down on environmental impact.

"Through innovative virtual production technology, we are building a sustainable film
industry that significantly minimises waste and helps to reduce environmental impact.
This is an excellent platform for us as we align our goals with the UAE's year of
sustainability and educate others on the benefits of virtual production. By leading the

way towards an eco-friendly filming solution for the entertainment industry, we hope to
create a better future for our planet." Azin Samarmand, General Manager at PixoJam
Virtual Production, stated.

The attendees will also have the chance to experience red carpet moments seen at the
Grammys and the Oscars through the GlamBot- a high-speed camera that fixes onto a

robotic arm that captures slow-motion reels, using a very high frame rate for its
signature “glam” look. Now a fixture at Hollywood events, the GlamBot’s complex but
effective camera technology is in the region for the first time and will be making its debut

at CABSAT.

Also new for 2023, the CABSAT Podcast will be hosted by Dalma Electronics to
inaugurate a MENA-based podcast studio that is open to all emerging content creators
of the region. New episodes of the podcast will be recorded live at the show with
technologists, creative professionals, and business leaders and be available online.

Popular features returning for this year’s edition include broadcasts by CABSAT TV and
tours of Dubai Studio City, a comprehensive community dedicated to the media and
entertainment industry in Dubai.
