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 prize comes in recognition of the development of the “Precision Focus Assist System E 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 maintains its commitment to the research and development of broadcasting technologies and is dedicated to the further progress and development of broadcasting in cooperation with other countries for the fully digital age.
