“We are extremely honored by this award”, says Pathway Connectivity President Dave Higgins.  “The fact that it comes from such a prestigious organization magnifies the honor.”

Pathway will receive an EDDY for Pathport Manager Software at the tenth annual EDDY Awards ceremony at John Jay College Theatre in New York City, December 8, 2001.  Sponsored by Entertainment Design Magazine, The EDDY Awards have recognized technical advancement in the fields of professional sound and lighting, since 1996.  A panel of distinguished designers and technicians have selected this year's crop of products, which are new to the market this year and point to the future of entertainment technology.
"This is a very exciting group of products that point to the future of entertainment technology," says David Johnson, editor of Entertainment Design. "This has been a very strong year in the development of lighting products, especially accessories that can be used by people in all aspects of the industry."

The EDDY Award committee has the following to say about Pathport Manager:

“The PC software companion for the Pathport DMX network, the Pathport Manager provides easy access to the features of the Pathport DMX and Ethernet control. Freely downloadable from the Pathport website, the software has an intuitive graphical interface, drag and drop functionality, and the ability to easily access all the features of the Pathport system, including input merge, node and port labeling, and backlight control. The panel could see the light at the end of the tunnel known as ACN. This software package and the Pathport system really show the way towards the future of control in the theatre.”

Pathport Manager is in currently in use in Pathport systems installed at the Mohegan Sun Casino, Disney’s California Adventure, and the Detroit Airport, to name a few.
