I’d like to recognize the amazing recipients of the Digital Video Best of Show Awards, an awards program that takes place each year at the NAB Show. In our judging process, conducted by a panel of engineers, Digital Video contributors and industry experts, we evaluated each product based on its innovation, feature set, cost efficiency and performance in serving our industry. We’ll feature an overview of each winning product with our June issue, but I’d like to give you a first look.
Only a small number of products was selected to receive a Best of Show Award from among hundreds of new products in competition, and I’m very proud of this year’s winners. There have been so many amazing developments and advances since last year’s NAB Show, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
