ZeeVee Honored with Two 2009 Mark of Excellence Awards

LITTLETON, Mass., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA(R)) announced today that ZeeVee, Inc. has won two 2009 Mark of Excellence Awards, presented by CEA's TechHome Division. The CEA awarded Gold to ZvPro 250 for outstanding achievement and innovation in trend setting custom home electronics in the category of Best Distributed Audio/Video Product. Also winning a Gold award was ZeeVee's Zinc internet video browser for Best Software Application. Award entries were reviewed by a panel of industry experts and submitted in two categories: Supplier and Systems Integrators.

The ZvPro 250 turns any incoming A/V source into an HDTV cable channel, which can be distributed over standard coaxial cabling and directly received by any HDTV purchased today. There is no limit to the number of HDTVs that can receive the broadcast from a single ZvPro 250. As a result, the ZvPro 250 enables construction of complete HD video distribution systems with radically faster installation and unlimited system expansion.

The Zinc internet video browser delivers internet video through an incredibly easy to use GUI designed for display on big screen HDTVs. The user connects a computer to an HDTV, starts Zinc, and with a few mouse clicks has thousands of online programs available at the HDTV. Other features include the ability to subscribe to favorite online video programs and to access favorite streaming services like Netflix.

"As relative newcomers to the industry we're honored to have won these two awards while competing with the very best companies in the field," said Vic Odryna, CEO of ZeeVee, Inc. "We're excited to have the value of our technologies and their many applications recognized, and look forward to using these technologies to help integrators solve their HD video distribution challenges."

ZeeVee, Inc.'s ZvPro 250 HD modulator and Zinc internet video browser were recognized at the Mark of Excellence Awards Dinner held on Friday, March 13th in conjunction with the tenth annual Electronic House Expo (EHX) Spring 2009.

Each year manufacturers, distributors and systems integrators enter to compete in award categories for this coveted honor. Each of the TechHome Mark of Excellence Awards categories has a four-member judging team comprised of systems integrators, manufacturers, members of the trade press and industry consultants to determine both finalists and winners.
