A 20×20 booth designed for Z CAM and ZOLAR to work in two modes: instant long-range recognition via a bold hanging sign, and close-up product experience through a continuous demo bar and a large feature wall that anchors key product messaging.

Challenge
NAB is a long-sightline environment—branding must read from the aisle, fast.
Demo is the product: the booth needed stable mounting, clean cabling, and quick changeovers for cameras/lights.
Two brand lines (Z CAM + ZOLAR) had to stay cohesive without competing visually.
In a 20×20 footprint, demo flow, conversations, and hero messaging must coexist without congestion.
Design vs. On-site Execution
The design prioritized a bold hanging sign with dimensional lettering for aisle-level recognition. On-site, a truss-based system structurally tied the overhead element to a long demo bar, creating a single, continuous product experience line. A large feature wall carried the primary narrative (“Z CAM CINEMA CAMERA”) while side graphics reinforced key product families—supporting a clear flow from notice → approach → hands-on demo → conversation.
This project was also featured in our portfolio gallery, showcasing real show-floor visuals and exhibit highlights from the event.

Hanging Brand Cube
A four-sided hanging sign that locks Z CAM + ZOLAR into one brand system and stays readable from key aisles.
Continuous Demo Bar
A single continuous demo bar consolidates lighting/camera demos, simplifies cabling, and supports real-world demo setups with mounting points and stands.
Hero Messaging Wall
A large “Z CAM CINEMA CAMERA” wall acts as the visual anchor—category clarity from afar, product/story context up close.
Side Feature Panels
Side panels highlight key products (e.g., DCM/TAIJI) while keeping the hierarchy clean so the main brand message stays dominant.
Aisle-first brand visibility
Demo-first layout
Stable mounting + cleaner cabling
Clear messaging hierarchy
Build efficiency under show constraints
Outcome
The hanging sign and dimensional letters stay legible from key aisles for fast wayfinding.
A continuous demo bar keeps demos and explanations in one line for easier flow.
Hero wall carries the main story; side panels support the lineup without clutter.
Cleaner structure and cabling reduce last-minute fixes and show-floor risk.
n broadcast/cinema events, the best booths aren’t necessarily more complex—they’re more demo-able. Recognition gets you noticed; demo infrastructure gets you understood. This build links the hanging sign, demo line, and hero wall into one coherent journey so visitors can self-navigate from first glance to hands-on engagement.
Note：
Q1: What booth size works best for a camera & cinema equipment brand at NAB?
A1: A 20x20 booth is often ideal for NAB when you need multiple demo stations, hands-on testing space, and clear sightlines for product storytelling. It supports a front-facing demo counter, side display zones, and a small meeting area without blocking camera rig movement or attendee flow.
Q2: How early should we start planning a 20x20 NAB booth build and installation?
A2: For a demo-heavy 20x20 booth, start planning 8–12 weeks in advance to lock the layout, graphics, power needs, and rigging details. The final 3–4 weeks are typically for production checks, show-site logistics, and coordinating install/dismantle timelines to keep demos ready on day one.
Q3: Can we use a hanging sign or overhead structure in a 20x20 booth at NAB?
A3: Yes—many 20x20 booths at NAB use an overhead hanging sign or truss-style structure to boost long-distance visibility. Confirm height limits, rigging points, and load requirements with the venue and show-approved vendors, then design for clean branding, safe cabling, and proper lighting placement.
Q4: What show-site requirements should we consider for live demos and powered displays?
A4: Camera and lighting demos usually require stable power distribution, disciplined cable management, and glare control. Plan dedicated power drops for demo counters and monitors, keep cable runs protected and hidden, and aim lights to avoid reflections so attendees can judge image quality accurately.
Q5: Is it possible to reuse a 20x20 booth design for future shows after NAB?
A5: Yes, when the booth is planned with modular components—re-skin panels, interchangeable graphics, and standardized demo counter sizing. Reuse works best when the core structure stays consistent while messaging and product visuals can be updated for new releases or event themes.
