From more than 200 submissions, ten were selected to be recognised not just for new technology, but for its application by the IBC Innovation Awards judging panel. T-2 was shortlisted as an end user that brought together technology partners and collaborators Vision247 and Fora to realise a creative, commercial or technical goal. Vision247 has developed a massively scalable, enterprise quality, GRID-based platform for managing unlimited custom commercial TV packages. Perception provides hundreds of linear digital TV services, and more than 20 HD services across a range of viewing models including free, subscription time-based services and pay-per-view services.
