2013 Award Recipients
Cisco Systems, Inc.
Cisco Systems received the 2013 NAB Technology Innovation Award for its Future of Video concept. Future of Video (formerly called Project Fresco) presents a future of television that breaks out of the "box in the corner of the room," showing how television will harness new display technology and an immersive layout engine to become unobtrusive, frameless, ultra high definition and ambient. Future of Video demonstrates that television's future is both collective and personal, and exemplifies a new relationship between large screens and companion devices. Simon Parnall, Director, New Initiatives in Cisco's Service Provider Video Technology Group, who was instrumental in designing and building the "Future of Video" demo, accepted the award.
