Harris Corporation, an international communications
and information technology company, was honored with two prestigious
industry awards at the 2008 National Association of Broadcasters
(NAB2008) convention held April 14-17 in Las Vegas. Harris
won Broadcast Engineering magazine's Pick Hit award for the
X85™ enhanced all-in-one processor and for the NEXIO
AMP™ advanced media platform, the industry's first 3
Gb/s-ready broadcast server.
"At NAB2008, we introduced a wide range of innovative
new solutions that enable broadcasters to streamline their
workflows, reduce the cost of operations and profit from new
revenue models," said Tim Thorsteinson, president of
Harris Broadcast Communications. "Winning these prestigious
industry awards underscores the value of the unique Harris
ONE™ approach, which brings together highly interoperable
and cost-effective products that create efficiencies that
today's broadcasters need to stay competitive."
With a 24-year history, the Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit
awards are the industry's longest-running new product technology
awards. An anonymous panel of Broadcast Engineering readers
who are working professionals in the broadcast, post and network
and satellite industries, selected the winners.
Unveiled at NAB2008, the X85 enhanced all-in-one processor
is an extension of the market leadership of the X75™
all-in-one processor. The X85 processor adds all-new features
into its space-saving 1RU frame: a linear frame rate conversion
option converts 59.94 Hz and 50 Hz-based signals; dual-channel
processing provides maximum efficiency; and a 3 Gb/s upgrade
capability allows for an easy, economical move anytime a broadcaster
is ready to make the transition to 1080p.
The NEXIO AMP advanced media platform pairs a high-performance,
high-definition/standard-definition (HD/SD) server architecture
with best-in-class content protection. Recent NEXIO AMP platform
enhancements include support for the patent-pending Harris®
Intrinsic Mirroring™ technology, the latest advance in
Harris storage protection for SAN-based NEXIO™ systems.
NEXIO AMP servers also possess the ability to host integrated,
software-enabled media applications, allowing customers to
reduce hardware expenditures and improve overall workflow
efficiency. At NAB2008, Harris announced 1080p support for
the NEXIO AMP product line, making it the industry's first
3 Gb/s-ready broadcast server
Harris Broadcast Communications offers products, systems and
services that provide interoperable workflow solutions that
