Vinten Wins Best of IBC For Vector

A leader in camera supports, Vinten, has announced its new Vector 430 and Vector 750i, which made their debut at IBC2010, have won the 'Best of IBC2010' editors' award from TVB Europe and The IBC Daily magazines.
The accolade honours the most innovative and intelligent product introductions at Europe’s biggest show for broadcast and media professionals.
The editorial teams of TVB Europe and IBC Daily collaborated at the recent IBC2010 convention to choose the strongest designs and winning products.
Fergal Ringrose, Editor of the two publications, said: "Our team has a unique insight into the IBC exhibitor community as we contact every one of them in our efforts to cover the show.
"For these awards, we picked the most innovative, cleverest new products at the world's electronic marketplace. We were especially looking for new products that clearly show the potential to make money, or save money for end users."
The award is testament to the high quality, cost-effective Vector 430 and Vector 750i designs, which were unveiled for the first time at IBC2010. It is the second accolade for the new Vector 430, which also won TV Technology Europe's 'STAR' award at the convention, for its 'preeminent technological innovation'.
This unique and lightweight pan and tilt head incorporates Vinten’s innovative Perfect Balance technology - into a previously unattainable compact package - whilst boasting an extremely large capacity range of 10 - 43 kg [22 - 94.8 lbs]. This means that the Vector 430 provides a single choice for camera operators in the studio or out on the field, when two heads may have previously been required.
The Vector 750i, one of Vinten's flagship products, is the company’s first encoded pantographic head and is the coded version of the popular Vector 750. The design maintains all of the market leading functionality of the Vector 750 and gives unsurpassed precision in virtual reality environments, for both outside broadcast and studio applications. The Vector 750i pan and tilt head incorporates a new Intelligence Module to ensure stable and accurate placement of virtual graphics into the live environment.
