Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, was honored with three prestigious industry awards at the 2007 International Broadcasting Convention (IBC2007) convention in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The company’s next-generation NEXIO AMP™ advanced media platform won TV Technology-Europe magazine's STAR Award (Superior Technology Award Recipient). NEXIO AMP™ dramatically expands the functionality of video transmission servers and provides a foundation for a scalable, end-to-end HD/SD television solution. Its server architecture breaks new ground for fault tolerance, while the ability to add software-enabled media services improves workflow efficiency throughout the entire acquisition-transmission chain.

Harris was also honored with Broadcast Engineering magazine's Pick Hit award for its HD-STAR™ handheld HD/SD personal test monitor and generator and its Videotek® QuiC™ media analysis server system. The HD-STAR™ is the only handheld product on the market that provides both an HD and SD test generator with monitoring. It is a rechargeable, handheld HD-SDI and SD-SDI video and audio monitor and video generator with embedded audio. The Videotek® QuiC™ media analysis server system is a fully automated test and measurement platform designed to verify the quality of video and audio content stored on servers and storage networks.

“Winning these prestigious industry awards underscores the success of our Harris Broadcast Communications ONE initiative to provide interoperable workflow solutions that span the entire broadcast delivery chain,” said Tim Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast Communications. “The unique Harris approach brings together highly integrated and cost-effective products that are ideal for emerging media business models and for customers upgrading media operations to digital and high-definition services.”

The TV Technology-Europe STAR Awards are designed to celebrate and showcase the preeminent technological innovations available to the broadcast industry. The editor of TV Technology-Europe magazine reviewed a variety of products, examined the technical applications and their overall contribution to the industry, and then selected the winners.

The Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit Awards are the industry's longest-running new 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.
