The winners of the InBroadcast Editors' Awards 2015 were announced during this year's NAB show, held at the
Las Vegas Convention Center last month. The Contributing Editors, many of whom were out-and-about at the
exhibition, examined the latest and greatest technology advances on display. This year's awards winners are:

InNovation Outstanding Merit Award

Senior Product Manager,
Studio & Camera Systems
Professional Solutions of America,
Sony, receives the InBroadcast Editors'
Award from Bryn Lister

Sony's next generation of HDC series camera technology provides the ability to
use the high magnification wide zoom range lenses currently employed by HD
2/3-inch systems, while maintaining an adequate depth of field to accurately
show all the action during live event broadcasting. The new HDC-4300 is hailed
as the world's first camera to use three 2/3-inch 4K image sensors.

InMedia Production Systems Award

Hiro Tanoue, Deputy Senior
General Manager Overseas Sales
and Marketing Division, FOR-A,
accepts the InMedia award

The HVS-2000 has a number of ground-breaking features and technologies
never before enjoyed by operators. One exclusive feature of the 2 M/E HVS2000 is MELite, which allows a traditional AUX bus to transform into a functional M/E with cut, mix, wipe and key control. The unit runs on what has been
dubbed a V6 HVS2K engine, ready for SD, HD, Full HD (3G) and 4K production.

The Sidefinder is a fully featured HD viewfinder with a flip-out 1080p display.
It's a natural union between the SmallHD 500 Series Monitor and the patentpending, EVF loupe. The high resolution Sidefinder gives shooters all the
benefits of using a 5-inch field monitor and an EVF, without compromising
speed, agility, or quality of the image.
