Nxtedition achieved significant recognition at IBC 2024, securing two prominent industry awards. The company was awarded the IABM BaM Award in the Create category for its innovative solutions and was also named a TVBEurope Best of Show winner for its XR/Mixed Reality Studio Gallery Control. These accolades underscore Nxtedition's ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of broadcast technology.
The IABM BaM Award, known as a BaMMY, celebrates innovation and creative solutions in media technology. The judges praised Nxtedition's achievement in the Create category, recognizing its ability to deliver solutions that address the evolving needs of the broadcast industry.
The TVBEurope Best of Show award for Nxtedition's XR/Mixed Reality Studio Gallery Control recognizes the solution's exceptional performance, innovation, and cost-effectiveness. This award highlights Nxtedition's dedication to providing advanced broadcast solutions that cater to the evolving requirements of the industry.
Nxtedition played a crucial 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 collaborative project, involving industry leaders such as Al Jazeera, BBC, ITN, and Transmixer, showcased how emerging technologies can reshape broadcast control.
At the presentation, Adam Leah, Creative Director at Nxtedition, demonstrated the system live, remotely controlling a studio in Sweden using only a Meta Quest 3 and an iPad. This live demonstration was met with great enthusiasm and praise, further emphasizing the potential of Nxtedition's solutions.
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.
