Las Vegas, Nev. -- Broadcast Pix™, the leader in live video production systems with end-to-end integration, today announced its new Flint integrated production system received the 2013 STAR Award, presented by the editorial staff of TV Technology magazine, last week at the 2013 NAB Show. Flint delivers built-in HD streaming and allows operators to include cloud-based content, in addition to cameras and file-based graphics and video, during live productions, and is anchored by the company’s established production toolset for creating sophisticated live video with minimal staff.
The STAR (Superior Technology Award Recipient) Award honors and showcases outstanding technological innovations available to the broadcast industry. A panel of judges, which includes TV Technology editors, columnists, and industry experts – reviewed a variety of products, examined the technical applications and overall contributions to the industry, and then submitted their award nominees. Published by NewBay Media, TV Technology is celebrating its 30th year covering the television industry.
“Our panel of judges walk the show floor in search of the most innovative technologies,” said Tom Butts, editor-in-chief, TV Technology. “The products and services that we select for the STAR Award make the cut, demonstrating their ability to help advance the acquisition and distribution of entertainment and information across the media spectrum.”
