Its third year of attendance, Newsbridge was excited to attend this year’s exposition. Amongst intense competition, the team received Mediakwest’s First-Place Trophy in Best Post-Production. Furthermore, this was the second year in a row that Newsbridge took home the prestigious award.

The Newsbridge team received this trophy for their latest feature: Live Schedule, which allows for real-time recording of UHD video streams from a web-browser. It is specifically helpful for streaming that require precision and punctuality (i.e. sports, events, conferences, recurring news).
