ABU Distinguished Service Award
2014
Dr Keiichi Kubota was presented with the ABU Technology’s highest accolade, the ABU Distinguished Service Award.
Dr Kubota, President & CEO of NHK Integrated Technology Inc, was recognised at the opening day of the ABU Technical Committee meeting which took place during the ABU General Assembly and Associated Meetings in Macau, China.
The ABU Distinguished Service Award recognises the outstanding achievements and contribution by an individual to the broadcasting industry. During his 38-year career in broadcasting, Dr Kubota has made significant contributions in the area of HDTV standardisation. He was instrumental in advances in the areas of satellite and terrestrial transmission systems, as well as in signal processing for HDTV. Dr Kubota also played a leading role
in the rollout of NHK’s digital satellite broadcasting service and the coverage of the 2012 London Olympics in Super Hi-Vision.
In his speech Dr Kubota said he had spent a major part of his career at NHK’s laboratory developing the HDTV and Ultra-HDTV systems. During this period he had made many friends in Asia and around the world through various engineering projects and standardisation activities. Dr Kubota said he was happy to witness the huge changes in the broadcast industry during his 38-year career, and felt lucky that he could overcome all sorts of difficulties during the transition with his colleagues around the world. Dr Kubota promised to continue working as a bridge between the Japanese broadcast industry and the broadcast industry in Asia and the Pacific.
