Paul Hearty - Emmy Awards |
 In January 2009, he accepted an Emmy at the 60th Annual Technology and Engineering Emmy Awards for the work he and the Advanced Television Evaluation Laboratory had done in helping with the Standardization of the ATSC Digital System.
Paul Hearty was one of the key players in the 1987 North American Public HDTV Demonstrations, which transmitted HDTV over satellite to receive locations in 7 cities for viewing and evaluation by more than 10,000 members of the public. He became involved in activities of the FCC Advisory Committee on Advanced Television Service at its inception in 1987.
Through the period from 1987 to 1994, he was an ex officio member of the Advisory Committee and served prominently in the Advisory Committee leadership and on many of its committees, including the Special Panel and the Technical Subgroup, which ultimately decided on the acceptability of systems tested.

We're pleased to make a correction!
We originally wrote that one member won a CENIC award this year, but when we read more on the CENIC site, we saw that two CineGrid members won - UCSD/Calit2 and USC/SCA. Recap/explanation of award and contact for Tom DeFanti and Richard Weinberg follows.
