We’ve been busy at NAB this week speaking with partners and customers about the future of television and the general availability of Adobe Primetime – our TV publishing and monetization platform for programmers and pay-TV service providers. Fresh off our announcement, we’re excited that Adobe Primetime has been presented with a “Best of NAB” award by Streaming Media. The award recognizes innovative online video technologies shown and demonstrated at the conference. Judges from the Streaming Media staff selected the five most innovative and best equipped technologies (no specific categories) that solve major industry challenges. We’re thrilled to be honored alongside four other companies  – Canon, Envivio, Matrox and vMix.

We believe 2013 will transform how consumers view and engage with TV content online and across devices, and how programmers and pay-TV providers respond to that shift. This award validates our work and the belief that the next big industry transformation since the introduction of cable television 30 years ago is upon us. We’re convinced that Adobe Primetime will play a major role in turning every screen into a TV.

We’re thrilled to announce that Adobe Pass, Adobe’s TV Everywhere solution, will be honored by The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and presented with an Emmy Engineering Plaque, a recognition for outstanding engineering achievements for emerging technologies, at the 64th Primetime Emmy Engineering Awards on October 24th. The Academy is recognizing Adobe for its contribution to drive TV Everywhere adoption across the industry.

Adobe Pass, a key component of Adobe’s Project Primetime, has become the industry leader in TV Everywhere technology in less than two years and is now supported by more than 150 US operators as they deliver hundreds of millions of authenticated streams for major live events such as The Olympic Games, March Madness, Euro Soccer Cup, NBA Playoffs and live news coverage via mobile apps from programmers like CNN. Leading media companies including Viacom, NBCU, Fox, Disney, ESPN, Cartoon Network and Scripps Networks depend on Adobe Pass for viewer authentication across more than 40 live sites and apps across desktops and mobile devices today.

Approximately 98 percent of pay TV households in the U.S. are now able to view TV content via the Adobe Pass authentication service and consumers are pushing TV Everywhere adoption to an all-time high. Given the track we are on, we expect every major TV show to be available via a TV Everywhere app within the next two years. Thanks to all our partners who helped make Adobe Pass a great success and a key driver for the transformation of the TV industry as we know it today!
