"TV Technology Europe is a
leading magazine for the industry and therefore its editor has a
uniquely broad perspective when it comes to trends, needs, and
innovation," said Lars Lauritzsen, never.no CEO. "We believe that in
Community TV, the publication is recognizing a product that is
delivering performance in Europe today as well as one that has vast
potential for the future."
never.no's Community TV uses the
company's proprietary interactive technology to make possible a
cost-effective end-to-end solution for managing and broadcasting
television programming, both on-air and online. Available either as
enterprise software on the site owner's own servers, or as software
as a service (SaaS) over the Internet, the turnkey system
dramatically reduces broadcast costs when compared with traditional
broadcast methods.
The Community TV platform is based on technology from Harris
Corporation (NYSE:HRS), including the NEXIO AMP™ advanced media
platform and the Inscriber® RTX™ on-air HD/SD graphics solution. The
NEXIO AMP server manages playout for all user video content, and the
RTX system brings both the channel's brand and the viewer's voice to
life with a rich, graphical look and feel and interactive messaging.
"We are delighted to see that never.no's Community TV platform is
being recognized as a truly innovative broadcast solution, as it
enables a highly dynamic viewer experience," said Tim Thorsteinson,
president of Harris Broadcast Communications.
TV Technology STARs showcase preeminent technological innovations in
the broadcast industry. This year, TV Technology Europe's editor
examined the technical applications and overall contribution to the
industry made by a wide variety of products before choosing 25
winners.
"STAR awards are given to interesting new products that help a user
save money or accomplish a task more easily," said Mark Hallinger,
editor of TV Technology Europe. "The products selected help advance
the industry. Some were chosen because of technical novelty or
innovation, some because they filled an important gap in the
production or transmission chain, and some because they were just
cool products."
Ten-year-old never.no took two additional awards home to Oslo from
IBC2009, a "What Caught My Eye" award from IBC TV News, and a Cable
& Satellite International (CSI) Award from CSI Magazine for "best
playout or connectivity solution".
