The judges then meet to make their selections based on several criteria, including the technical and financial improvements the product can bring to a facility’s operation. Broadcast Engineering Pick Hits Award's have honored companies and their technology for more than 25 years.

At NAB 2009, UltraScope also won the TV Technology Star Award, the DV Black Diamond Award, and the Videography Vidy Award.
