At the just-concluded InfoComm 2013 show in Orlando, InfoComm International announced that Dr. Joseph Kramer has been honored with the Adele De Berri Pioneer of AV Award.
Since founding Kramer Electronics more than 30 years ago, Kramer has fostered many audiovisual technology innovations that impacted users in various ways. His innovations have improved the jobs and lives of designers, installers, and users by giving them simplified installations and greater functionality at lower costs.
With a presence in 23 countries worldwide, Kramer Electronics has created products such as video-correction processors, presentation switchers, scaler/switchers, and compact solutions such as the Kramer TOOLS line. Such developments generate opportunities for more and newer visual and audio presentation applications.
Today, Dr. Kramer is developing and promoting the concepts of wireless signal distribution and IP-based video systems that are expected to fuel the digital signage and overall pro-AV marketplace.
“The innovative spirit of Dr. Joseph Kramer has propelled the industry forward,” states David Labuskes, CTS, RCDD, executive director, InfoComm International. “Thanks to his leadership, many AV professionals are able to do their jobs better, faster and more collaboratively, and InfoComm is pleased to recognize his contributions.”
“This award is an important, worldwide recognition of Kramer and the achievements it has reached,” says Kramer. “It is also a personal recognition that makes me look back and appreciate the pile of unique products I have developed throughout the years. I am extremely proud of the human resources at Kramer Electronics. Our accomplishments of over 30 years of activity are products of our employee dedication and wisdom.”
The Adele De Berri Pioneer of AV Award is issued annually by InfoComm International to current or former employees of InfoComm member companies who have made an important contribution to the science of audiovisual technology, whether as an inventor or leader who advanced the development of a new product, segment, or service of the AV industry.
