Carbonite Wins BIRTV Award

China, Beijing – September 2, 2011 – Ross Video’s Carbonite Digital Production Switcher is the recipient of the 2011 BIRTV Award for Video Production and Broadcast.

The BIRTV awards are the only award in China appraised and approved by many technical specialists and Broadcasters. These awards serve as an indicator for future development of Radio and Television technologies, providing first-hand reference for equipment procurement.

“It is a tremendous honor to receive the BIRTV Innovative Product Award for the Carbonite Production switcher.” said Dae Yung Choe, Sales Director – Asia Pacific. “Last year, Ross Video won the same award for the Vision series switcher so winning back to back BIRTV award is something very special. Already winning the “Pick Hit” and the “Star” awards at NAB, Carbonite is being recognized by the industry expertise as a product leader in its class.”

Over the years, many of the BIRTV events and activities have evolved with positive recognition and extensive participation of the broadcasting industry. BIRTV 2010 will provide the most rewarding platform for exhibitors to communicate directly with the decision makers, while promoting the development of China’s broadcast industry.
