Maximum Throughput’s MAXedit Wins Broadcast Engineering World Edition “Pick Hit” Award

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 01, 2008 – MONTREAL, Canada – Maximum Throughput Inc. (www.max-t.com), developers of multi-user media management and editing applications and high-performance media servers and storage solutions, won the prestigious “Pick Hit” award for its MAXedit multi-user, server-based editing software from the publication, Broadcast Engineering World Edition, during the recent International Broadcasting Convention held in Amsterdam last month. MAXedit was one of twenty winning products selected by an independent panel of judges from the roughly 1,400 exhibitions held during IBC 2008.  

With MAXedit, broadcasters, postproduction facilities and studios can rapidly and cost-effectively set up a multi-seat editing environment that's suited for news production, specialty programming, digital dailies, corporate and institutional productions and offline editing. Multiple users can access MAXedit by launching it from a Web browser. Users on a network can view, edit and render compressed and uncompressed SD and HD content, without using specialized software and hardware. Users connected over LAN or over the Internet, simply log on to the MAXedit application server and begin editing—all editing operations are processed and executed on the MAXedit server. The scalable, multi-user HD/SD editing solution allows users to edit multiple formats, natively in real-time.

“Maximum Throughput is honored to be a recipient of the Pick Hit Award from BE World,” said Giovanni Tagliamonti, chief executive officer for Maximum Throughput, Inc. “We’re thrilled with the recognition that MAXedit has received since its initial introduction at NAB this year. By significantly reducing the capital and operational costs of editing, while enabling worldwide editing collaboration, MAXedit’s technology foreshadows the demise of dedicated editing workstations.”

Previously, during the National Association of Broadcasters convention in April of this year, Maximum Throughput’s MAXedit was awarded the “2008 Best of Show” award given out by Videography magazine and the “STAR” Award from TV Technology magazine.

While Maximum Throughput is best known for Sledgehammer—its powerful flagship storage system used by such high-profile customers as CBS, FOX News, NBC, ABC, HSN, RTE, and the BBC—NAB 2008 marked the first time the company offered editing solutions.
