SlingStudio is a new production hub aimed at video producers looking to up their game on Facebook Live and YouTube Live. The hub can accept 10 video feeds from wired and wireless cameras and smartphones, and allows for real time video switching from an iPad. Lyrebird is new software that claims to be able to recreate anyone's voice with just one minute of audio tape. You can also design your own voice and Lyrebirds GPU clusters will generate 1000 sentences in less than half a second for real-time voice generation. Google unveiled the new Yi Halo, its next Jump VR camera, at NAB that is built with 16 Yi Technology action cameras mounted spherically as well as an additional upward facing camera. The camera rig will release this Summer for $17,000. We also talk about DJI's new Goggles that will let you control a drone or the drone's camera. And congratulations to astronaut Peggy Whitson for 534 days in space. Plus, Iain Thomson is here to tell us why one company is heartbroken that we found it was selling the contents of our email account to Uber.
