ADC announced that the company was presented with a Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit award for its ProPatch Miniature (PPM) patch bay at the National Association of Broadcasters Conference and Exhibition (NAB2008) in Las Vegas on Thurs., April 17, 2008 in Las Vegas.
Broadcast Engineering's Pick Hit awards are the industry's longest-running product technology awards for broadcast and production. With a 24-year history, Pick Hits are the most prestigious technical awards given at NAB. At the NAB2008, a panel of independent judges toured the exhibition floor for three days and evaluated innovative technologies. Award selections were made based on multiple criteria, including the technical and financial improvements the products can bring to a facility's operation.
"We're honored to be selected for this prestigious award because it showcases our commitment to providing high-performance and reliable broadcast connectivity solutions that are leading the industry's migration to high-definition digital media," said Jaxon Lang, vice president Global Connectivity Solutions Americas for ADC. "As the highest density and lightest true HD patch panel on the market today, the ProPatch Miniature Series is just one of the innovative technologies in our suite of broadcast connectivity solutions."
ADC's Super High-Density Coax (SHDC) PPM is designed to reduce the amount of rack space required for coax video and audio panels. At less than 1Kg/RU, the SHDC is the lightest true HD patch panel on the market. Versions are available for AES audio, as well as SMPTE 424 HD video. The ProPatch Miniature Series panels (PPM) with DHDC jacks are available in both 1 and 1.5 rack unit configurations.
