“The annual Streaming Media 50 list foregrounds the industry’s most innovative and influential technology suppliers, service providers, and platforms, as acclaimed by our editorial team,” says Streaming Media Editor-in-Chief and VP Steve Nathans-Kelly. “Some are large and established industry standard-bearers; others are comparably small and relatively new arrivals just beginning to make a splash.

It was also a great honor that Vizrt Group was also recognized as a special partner to the Support for Ukrainian Media Professionals Group when it won an IBC Social Impact Award. We were nominated specifically for our role in making the NDI|HX camera app free for journalists on-the-ground in Ukraine and supplying critical media technology via NewTek tech and a brave reseller to set up separate broadcasting bases should anything happen to the main Ukranian broadcast center.
