Certified SBE members attending these webinars receive ½ recertification credit in category I

Our special guest will be John Mailhot, CTO of the networking and infrastructure team at Imagine Communications. His presentation will center on ST 2110, the standard developed by the Society of Motion Pictures & Television Engineers (SMPTE) to transport individual signals (audio, video, ancillary data) with synchronization information over IP networks. ST 2110 uses the timing mechanism specified by ST 2059 to distribute time and timebase to every device in the network.

Mailhot has worked in the field of digital high-definition (HD) television systems since its North American inception in 1990. He began as part of the AT&T-Zenith team, responsible for system architecture and integration of the digital spectrum compatible high-definition television (DSC-HDTV) system prototype, and then served as technical lead for the Grand Alliance encoder at Lucent Technologies. He subsequently held engineering manager and general manager roles at Lucent Digital Video, Aastra Digital Video, and the Harris Broadcast Video Networking Group. He has dual bachelor’s degrees in computer science and electrical engineering from MIT and has been recognized as a SMPTE Fellow. Mailhot worked on the SMPTE standards committee designing ST-2110.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the best educations a leader can have, if they use this time to learn.. from their priorities, their reactions and their people’s dependency on them to stand up and take authority. These recent circumstances pose a golden opportunity for your staff and client to see leadership in you that builds confidence and security in uncertain times. When this is over, you will be positioned at the forefront of staff and client priorities and support in the world ahead. It will also allow more time to prioritize your “main thing” as people look to you when communities are fully back open for business.
