Blackmagic Design today announced that Blackmagic Cinema Camera has been honored with the “Design Award of the Year” and a “Best in Category” award at the 2013 Australian International Design Awards.

Run by international design promotion organization Good Design Australia, the annual Australian International Design Awards endorse great design and provide consumers with a clear indicator of the cornerstones of good design: form, function, quality, safety, sustainability and innovation.

These awards continue Blackmagic Design’s international recognition in product design, as the company has also received numerous prestigious red dot awards for product design in 2012 and 2011. The red dot award is a professional design competition awarded in the fields of product design, communication design and design concepts. In 2012, Blackmagic Design’s Heavy Duty Mini Converter, HyperDeck Shuttle, ATEM Camera Converter and UltraStudio 3D were honored with red dot awards, while in 2011 UltraStudio Pro and DaVinci Resolve were honored as well.

“It is a huge honor to be recognized by Good Design Australia for the design work done by our software engineers, hardware engineers and industrial designers,” said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “There is nothing more exciting than designing new products and inventing the future. These awards show the innovation and incredible design work that is happening at Blackmagic Design.”
