The IBC honours went to different companion apps, the latest in home content delivery, ground breaking broadcast developments, cutting edge research and the best in exhibition stand design. The ceremony celebrated things as diverse as zombies and ballroom dancing. The people honoured on stage included media companies from across the world, North and South America, Europe and Japan.
The IBC International Honour for Excellence went to Science and Technology Research Laboratories (STRL) of Japanese national broadcaster NHK. The award was like life time achievement award to the company, which has had an impact from broadcasters right into the homes of the people. Even the famed plasma display came from it. The award was accepted by the president of NHK, Masayuki Matsumoto.
“Our industry is changing, with new delivery platforms and business models expanding on the foundation of the long history of broadcasting,” said Michael Crimp, IBC’s CEO. “This year our awards have really reflected these changes, taking us right into the home with new ways of discovering and enjoying the finest content.”
The IBC Innovation Awards very different from other awards since they go to a broadcaster or media business which uses new technology to create an innovative solution to meet a creative challenge. The three winners delivered something new to the user. The winner of the IBC Innovation Award for Content Creation was a second screen app, a way of adding to the viewer’s enjoyment by synchronising interactivity on an iPad with a television programme.
