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, a 3 Gbps-ready broadcast server.
With a 24-year history, the Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit awards are said to be 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.
"These industry awards underscore the value of the innovative Harris ONE approach, which brings together highly interoperable and cost-effective products that create efficiencies which today's broadcasters need to stay competitive," says Steve Alves, managing director of Harris's South African distributor, Concilium Technologies.
The X85 enhanced all-in-one processor is an extension of the X75 processor, and 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 Gbps upgrade capability allows for an easy, economical move when 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 content protection. Recent 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.
