NTT Electronics Wins "Pick Hit Award" at the 2008 NAB Show
NTT Electronics, a supplier of high-quality video codec devices for broadcasting markets around the world, is pleased to announce that its "HV9100 Series” AVC/H.264 HDTV/SDTV Encoder/Decoder won Broadcast Magazine’s “Pick Hit Award” for best broadcast-related product at the 2008 NAB Show.
The longest-running award in the broadcasting field, the well-known "Pick Hit Award" is annually presented at the world's largest electronic media show, NAB, by Broadcast Engineering, the leading broadcast engineering magazine in North America. The award is presented for innovative products exhibited at NAB. Anonymous judges, chosen from the magazine's readership of broadcast industry professionals, select the award's winner.
"We are deeply honored to have received this historic award for the HV9100 series. At the recent NAB Show, we gave a demonstration on four large-screen displays that allowed visitors to directly compare an uncompressed image with compressed images outputted at various bitrates, showing that the HV9100 series can support contributions done at a wide range of bitrates. We were pleased to have our image quality so highly-regarded by so many NAB attendees and look forward to demonstrating our high-quality codec solutions to more professionals in the broadcasting field," said Hisatsugu Kasahara, director of the Business Division at NTT Electronics.

Overview of HV9100 series
The HD/SD dual-supporting HVE9100 AVC/H.264 encoders and HVD9100 decoders support both HD (1080i and 720p) and SD (480i and 576i) and a maximum of two audio systems, for a total of eight-channel encoding and decoding. With its support of the MPEG-2 format, the flexibility of this series really shines when handling multiple compression formats.
