Best of 2000 Awards
December 20, 2000
Didn't this year feel on the brink of great things to come? New or improved technologies and aggressive developers and marketers laid the groundwork for market explosions in small systems, such as boardrooms and home theater, and large systems, such as outdoor concerts or digital cinema. And everything in between.
There are places now where video walls are no longer a nice touch - they're expected. There are business presentations that simply can no longer be done in good taste without a projector, and controlling a dozen projectors for one purpose no longer takes a dozen A/V specialists to run them.
Whereas in most markets the technologies are flying faster than the implementers can figure out what to do with them, not so in ours. The technology-savvy Pro A/V community is ready to run with the new technologies and embraces the growing number of choices available.
This year made more things possible, no doubt, and Knews and PresentationMaster decided to give a nod to those companies and technologies that are making this industry more advanced, more high profile, more relevant to a larger population.
We put together a
panel for the Knews/PresentationMaster to begin the first of an annual awards
program, the Best of 2000 Awards. Each award recipient was nominated by at
least one of the panel members, and often two or more.

TVOne
The TVOne CorioScan
Pro SG provides video quality and capabilities previously reserved for products
costing four times as much.
TVOne
TVOne's line of high-quality, low cost video processing products is shaking up
the scan converter/scalar market. As they add more products to their line,
their commitment to high value products at low costs will cause many
competitors to have to re-think their business strategies. Now, TVOne has taken
aim at the scaling market and are sure to be a hit. TVOne is definitely a
company to watch.
