IABM Young Person of the Year (Sponsored by Clear-Com) Ludovic Michaud
Encouraging the flow of young talent into the industry is vital for its continuing development and success. IABM recognises this through its extensive training activities under the auspices of the IABM Education Foundation.
A graduate of Valenciennes University in France, this year's winner of the IABM Young Person of the Year is Ludovic Michaud. Ludovic Michaud has demonstrated a strong understanding of transmission, compression and workflows and how they can be better applied to meet the challenges of delivering content everywhere, said IABM CEO, Peter White. Our challenge is to ensure that the broadcast and media technology business continues to attract the brightest talent; Ludovic Michaud demonstrates that we can.
IABM International Award for Excellence in Sustainability Coronation Street/ITV Studios
When long-running British serial drama Coronation Street relocated its production site to MediaCityUK in 2014, it pledged to deliver television drama of the highest quality with the lowest possible environmental impact'.
Coronation Street/ITV Studios has provided a blueprint for sustainable television production, said John Ive, IABM Director of Technology and Strategic Insight. They have assessed and minimised the environmental impact of every element of the production from renewable energy to power the site, to electronic scripts and paperwork', recycling and minimising waste across the entire production chain.
In addition, GENELEC was highly commended in this category for its 30-year commitment to sustainability, which it regards as a core part of its business values.
"Coronation street is very pleased to receive this award from the IABM. We have worked extremely hard in championing sustainable TV production and have no doubt this Award will help us further our goals." - Robbie Sandison, Head of Production, Coronation Street
IABM Broadcast & Media Technology Woman of the Year (Sponsored by Christy Media Solutions) Michelle Munson
The high calibre of all the shortlisted candidates for this year's Woman of the Year award clearly demonstrates that our industry is moving on from its male-dominated past, said White.
This year's winner, CEO and Co-Founder of Aspera, Michelle Munson, has not only led the business in a stellar, profitable growth path culminating in its recent acquisition by IBM, she has also played a key role as co-inventor of the company's FASP high-speed data transport technology, transforming the way big data is ingested, processed, managed, distributed and delivered today.
Just to be recognised amongst such an esteemed group of talented women in our industry is a great honour for which I am very grateful. I'd like to thank the IABM and our peers in this industry for this award and the tremendous support of the digital media and broadcast industry in encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship." - Michelle Munson
IABM Peter Wayne Award for Design and Innovation IntoPIX
IntoPIX's development of TICO lightweight visually lossless compression enables 4K/UHD to be transported over legacy SDI infrastructure and 10GbE networks with the smallest latency and minimal complexity while preserving image quality.
In bringing TICO to market, IntoPIX has amply met all the criteria we set for judging the Peter Wayne Award innovation, performance, value for money and tangible end-user benefits, said John Ive. As we continue our march to ever higher resolutions and framerates, this is a perfect illustration of how innovative engineering can help to make it happen quickly and cost-effectively.
"We are honored to have won this award", says Gael Rouvroy CTO at intoPIX. "It is a recognition of our contribution of technology to ease the transition to UHDTV and IP-based infrastructures
