LOS ANGELES – HM Electronics (HME) announced that the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is awarding the company a Technology & Engineering Emmy for the development of the wireless intercom system.
"We couldn't be prouder of this award," said Mike Hughes, VP and general manager of HME's Pro Audio Division. "It continues a legacy of innovation that this company was founded on. And it shows that our dedication to continually improve on technology for the benefit of our customers has not gone unnoticed."
HME's introduction of the wireless intercom meant that camera operators who once struggled with limited communication options on shoots suddenly had the same communications and control as in a studio.
HME developed three more generations of wireless beltpacs, and followed those with an all-in-one wireless headset that implemented the functions of a beltpac right into the headset; and a wireless speaker station that allows live production crews to communicate without running cables every time a production changes and other innovations.
With the recent acquisition of Clear-Com, HME offers the broadest selection of cabled and wireless intercom systems on the market today. And Clear-Com brings its own legacy of innovation to HME, having developed the first advanced digital matrix technology.
HME will receive its Emmy Award at the 62nd Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards show on Jan. 6, 2011 at CES 2011 in Las Vegas.
