Blackmagic Design’s UltraStudio Pro Wins “MARIO” Award From TV Technology Columnist Mario Orazio
Milpitas, CA, April 26, 2010 – Blackmagic Design today announced that the Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Pro is the recipient of the 18th Annual Mario Award given by TV Technology magazine.
Organized in 1993, the Mario Awards were established to recognize manufacturers whose products represent significant technical breakthroughs⎯many of these products have gone on to significantly impact the future of video technology. The awards are named after Mario Orazio, a pseudonym for a nameless engineer and a renowned technology columnist for TV Technology who pens the industry’s most widely read column “The Masked Engineer.” The awards are given out annually at the NAB convention to companies that demonstrate forward thinking and technical excellence in their products.
“Mario scours the NAB show floor for the 10 most innovative products that represent the pinnacle of technical achievement. We are proud to present these awards on behalf of the ‘Masked Engineer,’” said TV Technology Editor Tom Butts.
TV Technology (www.tvtechnology.com) is the industry’s leading magazine for technology news and reviews and is celebrating its 27th year covering the television industry. The magazine is published by NewBay Media LLC, the world’s largest publisher of audio and video publications.
