Imagine Communications, an advertising management and video infrastructure
solutions provider serving global TV networks, broadcast stations, multichannel
video programming distributors (MVPDs), governments and enterprise markets, has
been recognised at the 66th Annual Technology and Engineering Emmy Awards with
an award for breakthroughs in “Standardization and Productization of JPEG2000
(J2K) Interoperability’. This is Imagine Communications’ ninth Emmy recognition and
was presented on 8 January 2015 by the National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences (NATAS) in a joint ceremony with the Television Academy during the
International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
“We are thrilled that our deep commitment and involvement in creating open
standards and facilitating interoperability between industry innovators has been
recognized by NATAS,’ said Charlie Vogt, CEO of Imagine Communications. “These
core tenets of our technology vision empower customers to maximise their
investments in existing infrastructure and workflows while migrating to an IP future
based on open standards and industry interoperable solutions. Imagine
Communications’ early involvement in the Video Services Forum makes this
acknowledgment of our work creating a multivendor, open standard for JPEG2000
especially meaningful.’
At NAB 2014, Imagine Communications introduced JPEG2000 to its leading Selenio
Media Convergence Platform (MCP) for high quality compression over IP. The
Selenio MCP is the platform of choice for media companies needing a multipurpose
convergence solution to efficiently manage today’s baseband and hybrid operations
– allowing migration to the future while protecting their current technology
investments.
