S&VC’s Pick Hit Selections for Infocomm 2006

Jun 15, 2006 10:11 AM

As Infocomm 2006 wound to a close in Orlando, editors and key contributors behind Sound & Video Contractor’s editorial coverage put their heads together to select the 16 winners of our Pick Hit Awards for outstanding (and useful) technology at this year’s show.

Pick Hits are awarded each year to products on display on the show floor that are already shipping or about to ship before the end of the 2006 calendar year, and which are making their first Infocomm appearance. The general focus was on products that have a high degree of usefulness for contractors for a wide range of audio and video applications. Watch www.svconline.com and the July issue of S&VC for detailed descriptions of the products and our reasons for making these selections.

The judges for S&VC’s 2006 Pick Hit Awards were editor Michael Goldman, video technology editor Trevor Boyer, contributing editor Jeff Sauer, senior contributing editor for audio Mark Johnson, and longtime contributors Jack Kontney, an industry consultant, and Bill Schuermann, senior project consultant for HFP Acoustical in Houston.
