The
Application Store (TAS) and Snell have won the Superior Technology Award
at National Association of Broadcasting (NAB) convention and
exhibition, held at the Las Vegas Convention Centre (the largest
broadcasting technology show in the world) with TAS's "ScreenToo"
multiplatform TV application. The prestigious award was handed over by
TV Technology Magazine, a major trade publication reporting on
television broadcast technology."We are extremely honoured that ScreenToo and Snell were chosen for this award" stated Vincent Parisis, CEO of TAS. "It's been a brilliant effort by our team to build the architecture which will enable broadcasters to control the compelling second screen and all the associated benefits of our interactivity engine 'Tapp' enabling monetisation, data collection, additional branding and true interaction with viewers."
Snell's broadcast automation system called Morpheus (used by hundreds of
broadcasters worldwide) will supply the TAS Screentoo app with
real-time data essential to maintaining synchronicity between the
primary broadcast and second screen devices such as smart phones and
tablets, enabling broadcasters and producers to effectively create
additional companion material and essential metadata.
A panel of judges consisting of TV Technology editors and columnists
reviewed ScreenToo, examined it technically and judged it's overall
contribution to the industry, before choosing it as a 'Star' of the
show.
"The NAB Show serves as the launching pad for thousands of new products
and services for audio and video professionals," said Butts. "Our panel
of judges walk the show floor in search of the most innovative
technologies. The products and services that we select for the award
make the cut—they demonstrate their ability to help advance the
acquisition and distribution of entertainment and information across the
media spectrum."
Only a few companies are chosen annually for the magazine's highly regarded award.
