2023 Bernard Lechner Award for Outstanding Technical Contributions

ATSC annual conference and 40th anniversary celebration

 

It was a wonderful honor to receive ATSC's Bernard Lechner award on the occasion of the 4oth anniversary of the Advanced Television Systems Committee.  This award is especially meaningful to me since Bernie Lechner was my leader and mentor for many years at RCA / Sarnoff Laboratories. Bernie taught me so many things about the importance of standards to the industry ecosystem and to business, as well as the values of collaboration and compromise. So many insights learned from my mentors were crucially important as we went through the competitive and collaborative phases of the Grand Alliance and setting the ATSC 1.0 digital HDTV standard.

 

Thank you ATSC President Madeleine Noland, Board Chair Richard Friedel, ATSC Board members and ATSC colleagues for this wonderful recognition.  I would also like to congratulate Saakhya Labs for their excellent technical advances and their recognition as the recipient of the 2023 Mark Richer Industry Leadership Medal.

The Streaming Video Alliance / Open Authentication Technology Commitee received a Technical Emmy Award for its contributions to the SCTE 224
Event Signaling and Notification Interface standard

Congratulations to co-awardees SCTE and CableLabs
