nxtedition is proud to announce its remarkable success at IBC2024, having been recognised with two industry awards. The company received the IABM BaM Award in the Create category and was also named a TVBEurope Best of Show winner for its XR/Mixed Reality Studio Gallery Control. These accolades highlight nxtedition's ongoing commitment to innovation and evolution in the broadcast industry..

The IABM BaM Award, known as a ‘#BaMMY’, celebrates innovation and creative solutions in media technology. nxtedition's achievement in the Create category was praised by the IABM judges, who remarked:  

"The word ‘groundbreaking’ appears in a lot of submissions for awards, but this truly is a groundbreaking product” 

“For years people have tried to reduce a control room to the size of a piece of paper. Is this the product that finally does it?” 

“This is a really astonishing piece of kit, which I think is an outstanding and radical development.” 

nxtedition also received the TVBEurope Best of Show award for its XR/Mixed Reality Studio Gallery Control. These awards recognise outstanding products and solutions that were exhibited at IBC2024. They are judged by an independent panel of experts, including industry professionals and TVBEurope editorial staff, based on criteria such as innovation, performance, and cost-effectiveness. nxtedition’s recognition in this category reflects its dedication to delivering advanced broadcast solutions that meet the evolving needs of the industry. 

nxtedition played a key role in developing the XR/MR Studio Gallery Control as part of the IBC Accelerator project, "Evolution of the Control Room - Leveraging XR, Voice, AI & HTML-Based Graphics Solutions." This project was a collaboration with AL Jazeera, BBC, ITN, Transmixer, Cuez, Loopic, SPX Graphics and many more. The accelerator perfectly aligned with nxtedition’s consolidated approach, showcasing how emerging technologies can reshape broadcast control. During the presentation, one of our team members demonstrated the system live, remotely controlling a studio in Sweden using just a Meta Quest 3 and an iPad, which was met with great enthusiasm and praise.
