We are proud to congratulate three of our Friends of DCS: Adobe, Avid, and Tiffen/Steadicam, on winning Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy Awards. The 76th annual awards were held on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at the Television Academy’s Saban Media Center in North Hollywood, California.

Adobe was honored with the Philo T. Farnsworth Corporate Achievement Award as a company whose contributions over time have significantly impacted television technology and engineering. For over 40 years, Adobe has been a leader in delivering groundbreaking technology that empowers everyone, everywhere to express themselves and bring their stories to life.

Avid innovators Tom Ohanian, Ken Goekjian, Joel Swan and Victor Young were honored for the development of the Avid Multicamera System. Introduced in 1994, the Avid Multicamera System has stood the test of time with worldwide usage; it continues to be a dominant technology and product offering in the industry. The Multicamera System replaced technology that utilized videotape and laserdisc players, significantly advancing the art of storytelling via video and audio content.

The Tiffen Company was honored for the development of the Steadicam Volt.  The Steadicam Volt™ system is an accessory to the already ubiquitous Steadicam that utilizes electronic stabilization technology to assist camera operators in achieving and maintaining smooth, consistent and level camera shots when mounted on a Steadicam or other brand of camera stabilizer. The Volt helps to maintain a level or preset horizon and filter out unwanted camera movements without affecting normal Steadicam operation or control enabling a camera operator to better focus, react and interact with dynamically changing or challenging shooting environments to produce better framing of shots.
