luebell Opticom was presented
with an Emmy Award from the
National Academy of Television Arts

development of SDI over fibre optic

achieved over the years, and it's a
tremendous honour to be recognised

for those achievements by NATAS,"

"It's thrilling to see that what started
out as a good idea for a product has
been embraced by the whole industry.
We continue to push the boundaries to
provide our clients with leading-edge,
useful technology. This award is a huge
milestone for our company and also
means a great deal to me personally."
When Bluebell began making
equipment that converted SDI to light,
the work was based on academic
interest. However, broadcasters were
quick to adopt the new technology,

widely used throughout the industry.
