Not that these awards mean anything - but isn't it strange how the Tricaster didn't win since Newtek was nowhere to be found on the tradeshow floor?

I attended the show and was astonished when I came upon Qumu's streaming appliance which is based around a Shuttle PC box, has about 1/8 as many features as the Tricaster, and costs $25,000!!!

I walked over to the QUMU guys at streaming media west as well.

Did you know that the entire application is written in silverlight? Once I started bringing up the tricaster, the demo guy indicated that they were going after a different market.

I was surprised that Newtek wasn't there. But I guess the NAB show is the place to be.

There are other shows beside NAB that we attend, but unfortunately there were just too many marketing projects underway to attend this show.
