According to growth consulting company Frost and Sullivan, Thomson's consistent pursuit to be ahead of the market trends and reach out to diverse customer needs have established it as a formidable vendor in the digital video market.
"The worldwide move towards digital production technologies has led to an increasing demand from the broadcast and cinema industry for digital acquisition products," says Frost & Sullivan senior industry analyst Vidya S. Nath.
"The transition in the broadcast sector from standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD) and, in cinematography from analog to digital is finding definite contours, but few vendors in the market provide optimum features and solutions in line with market expectations."
Thomson was praised highly for its solid-state, hard drive hybrid Infinity Digital Media Camcorder, which is used for ENG and EFP.
Other honourable mentions went to:
Thomson's HD production cameras such as the multi-format LDK 8000 series, which has three versions: Standard, WorldCam, and SportCam;
The Thomson Viper FilmStream Camera which has been used on several movies;
And Thomson's series of SD camera products such as its top-of-the line LDK 400
