THE IBC 2000 John Tucker ‘Honour for Excellence’ Award, has been awarded to Dr Ray Dolby.
John Tucker, Chairman of the Award Panel, says: “He has a truly innovative approach to analogue audio compounding for production and delivery. More recently he has been very successful with digital compression technology. His name is an icon of broadcast technology”.
Dr Dolby established the UK company Dolby Laboratories in 1965. In 1976 he moved to San Francisco where he established a US office, laboratories and manufacturing facilities. Dr Dolby holds more than fifty US patents and has written papers on video tape recording, long wavelength X-ray analysis and noise reduction.
Fellow and past President of the Audio Engineering Society and a recipient of their Silver and Gold Medal Awards, Dr Dolby also received an Oscar in 1989.
The IBC John Tucker Award is presented annually, during IBC, in recognition of an internationally significant contribution by an individual or group of persons to any aspect of broadcasting, research, design, development, manufacture, operational practice or management.
The Award will be presented to Dr Dolby by John Tucker on stage at the IBC Sunday Spectacular. The one-hour show, featuring top class variety entertainment and the presentation of all the IBC Awards, takes place in the RAI Auditorium on Sunday September 10.
Tickets are available, free of charge, from the conference registration area at IBC 2000.
