Celebrating market-wide recognition and success at InfoComm 2013, the annual event for the electronic communications industry, projectiondesign was recognized in four awards for innovation and real-world installations.

The F35 panorama won the 2013 AV Technology Award winner for the Best New Telepresence Product. The F35 panorama is the world's first panoramic projector with an aspect ratio of 21:9 or 2.37:1. It enables images as wide as 4m (13') to be created without the need for edge blending, has a resolution of 2.7 megapixels - 35% more than full HD and produces images up to 7,000 ANSI lumens. During InfoComm 2013, the F35 panorama was demonstrated on the projectiondesign booth.

The Northeastern University Visitor Center from Boston, Massachusetts wowed judges in three awards programs for its innovative use of interactive touch surfaces and digital signage technology. The project uses projectiondesign F32 series DLP projectors and newly released ProNet.precision software.

The winning entries were jointly submitted by Cavanaugh Tocci Associates, projectiondesign, RP Visual Solutions, and Whitlock. Northeastern University Visitor Center won the 2013 AV Technology Award for Best ROI-Generating Digital Signage System in a Non-Retail Environment, the PRO AV Spotlight Award for Education category, and an Honorable Mention in the Integration Awards 2013 by Commercial Integrator and Tech Decisions. The project was also shortlisted for a People's Choice Awards during InfoComm 2013.

Fredrik Brostrøm-Hansen, product marketing manager at projectiondesign says: "It's an honor to receive such strong industry recognition of our innovations, and the excellence of our trusted partners and their projects. We remain committed to delivering our innovations to market."

The AV Technology Awards are the industry's only program that invests in tech managers while recognizing the manufacturers who anticipate and respond to their needs. Products and applications are judged based on ease of use, reliability, product versatility, overall network impact, and ROI.

The Pro AV Spotlight Awards recognize the industry's best audio-visual installations in a range of distinct categories. The Awards honor technical design, innovation, and how instrumental the AV installation is to the clients' missions. In partnership with Sound & Video Contractor and InfoComm International, the Pro AV Spotlight Awards were featured in a special ceremony at the InfoComm 2013 trade show in Orlando, Florida.

The editors and writers of Commercial Integrator magazine teamed up with the editorial staff of six TechDecisions sister websites to judge the second annual Integration Awards. Regardless of which projects, one constant element shown through in each piece of work: the tenacity and originality of thought and design that each firm brought to bear on its work, the client being the ultimate winner in the end.
