Tightrope Media Systems

As April comes to a close, we're looking back on one of the most intense—and rewarding—months of the year at Tightrope.

To wrap up a packed week on the NAB show floor—full of conversations, connections, and long hours on our feet— we did what any totally reasonable team would do: we went on a two-hour hike through the desert. Red Rocks has become our post-show tradition, and somehow, no matter how tired we are, we still show up—trail shoes on, legs questionable.

It’s equal parts exhausting and oddly refreshing—mostly thanks to the stunning views that somehow make you forget your legs are still in trade show mode.

Grateful for the team on and off site that gave it their all this month, and for the customers and partners who made NAB 2025 such a success. Onward!

Municipalities across the country are expanding their use of accessibility tools to ensure content for all—because inclusive communication is more than a compliance checkbox.

From closed captioning to in-room and mobile-friendly captions with multilingual support, cities are adopting smarter solutions that reach every resident, regardless of hearing ability or language.
