Tokyo – NHK and Fujinon Corporation received one of this year’s Emmy Engineering Awards from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences of the United States. The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences ceremony was held on the evening of 22 August at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles. The prize comes in recognition of the development of the ‘Precision Focus Assist System’. The use of HD broadcasting is now spreading worldwide and TV screens are getting larger. The focus assist system for HD cameras was needed because slight differences of focus that would not be noticed on the analogue screen emerge in the high-definition picture. The system is being honored as the very first to bring the advanced new technology into practical use. NHK last shared an Engineering Emmy Award in 1998 for the HD Intra-field Compression Processor integrated with the Half-Inch Digital D5-VTR. This is NHK’s third Engineering Emmy Award.
