Third Emmy for Ericsson

At CES 2012, Ericsson was awarded with an Emmy® Award, for its Active Format Description technology that allows legacy analog narrow screen (4:3) sets to receive an image that is sized correctly to meet the original intent of the program producer, even when the original image was photographed in a wide screen format (16:9). The Active Format Description technologies and systems were created in anticipation of the need for cable operators to provide analog narrow screen TV services in parallel with the wide screen HDTV digital service in the United States.
