ST IVES, U.K. TV Technology Europe, published by IMAS Publishing Inc., awarded its STAR best-of-show award to 10 companies at the IBC2003 Exhibition and Conference in Amsterdam, 12-16 September 2003. The awards, given for the first time at IBC, recognise noteworthy products and technologies from across the professional video industry. Editors and columnists from the Europe, Asia and U.S. editions of TV Technology contributed to the choices.

"The STAR Awards were given to technologies that move the industry forward," said TV Technology Europe Editor Mark Hallinger. "Some of the chosen products represent leaps in technology, others provide broadcasters or production personnel with better workflows or easier operating conditions."
