The company received the IABM BaM Award in the Create category for its overall work and was also named a TVBEurope Best of Show winner for its XR/Mixed Reality Studio Gallery Control. This success showcases Nxtedition's commitment to developing advanced broadcast solutions that meet the evolving needs of the industry.
The IABM BaM Award, also known as a BaMMY, celebrates innovation and creative solutions in media technology. The IABM judges praised Nxtedition's achievement in the Create category, stating:
Nxtedition also received the TVBEurope Best of Show award for its XR/Mixed Reality Studio Gallery Control. This recognition is given to outstanding products and solutions exhibited at IBC 2024. The judging panel, composed of industry professionals and TVBEurope editorial staff, evaluates submissions based on innovation, performance, and cost-effectiveness.
Nxtedition played a key role in developing the XR/MR Studio Gallery Control as part of the IBC Accelerator project, “Evolution of the Control Room – Leveraging XR, Voice, AI & HTML-Based Graphics Solutions.” This project was a collaborative effort with Al Jazeera, BBC, ITN, Transmixer, Cuez, Loopic, SPX Graphics, and many more. The accelerator perfectly aligned with Nxtedition's consolidated approach, showcasing how emerging technologies can reshape broadcast control. During the presentation, Adam Leah, Creative Director at Nxtedition, demonstrated the system live, remotely controlling a studio in Sweden using just a Meta Quest 3 and an iPad. This demonstration was met with great enthusiasm and praise.
IBC 2024 was a resounding success for Nxtedition, marked not only by these award wins but also by a record number of visitors to its stand. Roger Persson of Nxtedition commented, “IBC 2024 allowed us to showcase how our single, unified platform can genuinely change the way newsrooms work. The level of interest we received confirms that the industry is looking for more integrated, efficient solutions like ours.”
