Television Academy
Live Award Show
Los Angeles
Collaborated with the producers of the Engineering Emmys to provide technical production services for live broadcast of annual Television Academy award show.
The men and women of the Television Academy’s Engineering Awards Committee don’t just have a zeal for science and technology; they have a sense of humor about them, too. Television Academy’s annual event at Loews Hollywood Hotel, the ceremony was hosted for the second consecutive year by Kirsten Vangsness, who plays technical analyst Penelope Garcia on CBS’s Criminal Minds.
This year’s winner of the Charles F. Jenkins Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes a living individual whose contributions have significantly affected television technology and engineering, was Leonardo Chiariglione, considered the “father of MPEG” for his groundbreaking efforts in the field of media compression.
“I’m happy to see that the Academy has recognized my 30 years of work, dedicated to making real the vision of humans finally free to communicate without barriers, and sharing more and more rewarding digital media experiences,” Leonardo Chiariglione wrote.
Seven Emmys were also bestowed. The recipients were: The ARRI Alexa Camera System, Canon + Fujifilm Fujinon 4K zoom lenses, Walt Disney Studios for Disney global localization, McDSP SA-2 Dialog Processor, the developers of HVEC and Shotgun Software.
