Avid Honored with Two Emmy® Awards for Technology and Engineering Innovation
January 26 2021 - 8:30AM
Media technology provider Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID) today proudly
announced it has won two 2020 Emmy® Awards for technology and
engineering from the National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences (NATAS). Avid is being honored for its work on Newsroom
Computer System (NRCS), used to plan and automate the production of
news programs, and for work on the Advanced Authoring Format (AAF)
specification, which ensures multi-vendor, cross-platform
interoperability in video production.
“Avid’s customers influence our inventions and the products we
make. These two Emmy® Award wins honor this special collaborative
spirit that keeps the whole industry moving forward,” said Jeff
Rosica, CEO & President, Avid. “Avid is also incredibly
fortunate to be home to an extraordinarily creative and inspired
engineering workforce and product team. Their continuous innovation
not only follows through on our customers’ vision, but also
consistently breaks new ground to establish categories and define
where the industry needs to go next.”
Avid’s commitment to technical innovation and invention shapes
the tools, solutions and services that today accelerate the content
ecosystem and connect people everywhere through media. Newsroom
management remains a key component of the MediaCentral® platform
relied on by television networks and stations to produce news,
sports and other programming for audiences all over the world.
Media Composer®, the leading video editing tool in television and
film, leverages AAF to ensure that users can enjoy openness and
vendor interoperability in their content creation workflows.
Chosen each year by dozens of television industry experts and
peers, Technology & Engineering Emmy® Awards honor companies
that are the “tool makers” that have materially affected the
television viewing experience. In recognition of numerous
pioneering achievements since its founding, Avid has earned 18
Emmy® Awards, including two prestigious Philo T. Farnsworth Awards
for longtime contributions that have significantly impacted
television technology and engineering.
Avid will receive its two awards at the 72nd Annual Technology
& Engineering Emmy® Awards Ceremony that is tentatively
scheduled to be a virtual ceremony in partnership with the National
Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show on October 10, 2021.
