The IBC
Innovation Awards (www.ibc.org/awards) celebrate the partnership
between technology companies and users, with short-listed nominees
having demonstrated an innovative and cost-effective solution to a
technical, commercial or creative challenge. The winners will be
announced at the Awards ceremony September 14 during the annual IBC
Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam.
The nominated project combines the Digital Rapids Transcode Manager
enterprise-class transcoding solution and Digital Rapids' StreamZ
ingest and encoding systems with the customer's proprietary in-house
software applications and third-party distribution software. The
result is a uniquely powerful, high-quality and scalable ingest,
encoding and transcoding workflow. Spanning geographically dispersed
operations, the system maximizes quality and throughput for the
timely availability of media assets in multiple formats, while
eliminating the time-consuming manual interactions previously
required at multiple points in the content production and
distribution chain. The system's high level of automation is
essential for efficiently repurposing and managing the substantial
volume being processed daily.
"The IBC Innovation Awards have quickly become one of the industry's
premier recognitions of both outstanding technology and the impact
of vendors' technology on their customers' success," said Brick
Eksten, President of Digital Rapids Corporation. "With a high
caliber of worthy nominations, simply being short-listed for the
Awards is an honor, and we're thrilled that our world-class team has
been recognized for our innovative work."
