Field notes
The guide treats product lines as the unit of analysis, displaying each line’s latest-update age, usual cycle, and number of recorded releases before assigning a verdict. Its historical dataset spans 226 announcements from 2007 onward, while the homepage uses the NAB/IBC calendar as a timing signal. A search control and category filters cover cameras, switchers, control panels, recorders, monitoring, and capture/playback.
