Megapixel is thrilled to announce that it has been honored this year with a prestigious Emmy Award at the annual Engineering, Science, and Technology Emmy® Awards for its groundbreaking HELIOS® LED Processing Platform. This is the engineering team’s third technology recognition by the Academy and underscores Megapixel’s continued innovation and excellence in the field of visual technology, solidifying its position as a leader in the industry. The HELIOS® platform,renowned for its unmatched performance, has once again set the standard for not just LED processing but for virtual production workflow, earning Megapixel a place among the elite in television engineering and technology.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with this honor,” says Jeremy Hochman, Co-Founder & CEO. “Our team has been involved in putting LEDs on camera since before people called it virtual production. We felt passionate enough about what we did twenty years ago that we’ve continued to build upon our own internal software and hardware tools to make workflows easier and to productize what previously was quite a science experiment. I can say as the leader of a team I’m enormouslyhumbled by the Television Academy, and also thank them for recognizing how we have simplified such complex technology for a very demanding industry. A special thank you to Scott Blair, Chris Byrne, Colin Cook, and Justin Nicolaides for their countless years of effort and contribution to make HELIOS® what it is today.”
HELIOS® has redefined the standards of LED processing through its exceptional color performance, integrated camera workflows, and unparalleled reliability, making it the go-to solution for demanding broadcast and television environments. With its ability to deliver vivid and accurate color reproduction, HELIOS® ensures that every visual detail is displayed with stunning clarity, whether for live sports broadcasts such as FOX Sports or high-octane music performances such as Eurovision 2024.
