The Technology & Engineering Emmy® Awards are given for developments in engineering technologies that either represent an extensive improvement on existing methods, or inventions that are so wildly innovative that they've materially affected television.
A committee of highly qualified engineers working in television considers technical developments in the industry and determines which, if any, merit an award.
WSC Sports was an honoree in this year’s award as the developer of an AI-powered platform that enables sports media rights holders to generate and distribute customized video highlights automatically and in real-time.
Content teams from the biggest names in sports, including the NBA, ESPN, NHL, DAZN (and more than 300 others), utilize the WSC Sports platform to automatically generate any type of customized video, suitable for each and every platform, without the need for extensive manual work. This caters to the desires of modern sports fans, who want to consume more content, with greater levels of personalization, on a variety of platforms as close to real time as possible.
“The Technology & Engineering Emmy Award was the first Emmy Award issued in 1949 and it laid the groundwork for all the other Emmys to come,” said Adam Sharp, CEO & President, NATAS. “We are extremely happy about honoring these prestigious individuals and companies, again in partnership with NAB, where the intersection of innovation, technology and excitement in the future of television can be found.”
This latest class of technology Emmy Award honorees are upholding a tradition of innovation and impact that we have been recognizing for the past 74 years.”
Other winners in the 'AI-ML curation of Sports Highlights' category included Comcast, YouTube TV (Google), and IBM.
WSC Sports was also previously a shortlisted finalist at the 2022 Sports Emmy® Awards in the category for 'Outstanding Digital Innovation' that focused on a collaboration with the PGA Tour during the 2021 Player's Championship.
