Consulting

I'm interested in exploring opportunities for consulting in the following areas:

Media Supply Chain: With extensive experience managing ingest and content delivery systems I can assist with:

  • Process Review
  • Process Automation
  • Encoding / Transcoding and QC Systems
  • Watermark Encoding and Detection
  • Fingerprinting
  • Cloud Migrations

Telestream Vantage: With many years of experience managing Vantage arrays and building complex workflows I can provide a number of services to owners/users of Telestream Vantage systems.

My aim is to help realize the maximum value from investments in software licensing and related support fees. Ensuring that the systems in place are best meeting operational needs, and integrated in the most efficient manner.

This includes:

  • System reviews
  • System upgrades
  • Workflow review and analysis
  • Workflow design and implementation
  • Workflow refactoring and optimization
  • Maximizing system capabilities within the constraints of current licensing
  • Optimizing system throughput and resource utilization
  • Integration of Vantage with other systems
  • Migration of workflows to Cloud processing

RF and Satellite Communications: I have experience in various aspects of Satellite communications. This spans many decades from pioneering work in Satellite Newsgathering, managing and operating a rapid deployment SNG businees unit. The design, integration and commissioning of large satellite networks, including large M&C Systems. Implementing and managing a multi-transponder network for file-based broadcast media distribution.

With the increased pressure on spectrum for satellite communications, many services are turning to alternate distribution methods and I am available to review existing utilization and engage in examining migration options.
