| ROLAND BROWN JOINS QUANTEL'S BOARD |  |   | | | NEWBURY, UK - Quantel has appointed Roland Brown, recently director of
engineering at The Moving Picture Company, as a non-executive director
to the company. He will help Quantel identify and harness emerging
technologies that influence content creation. | | (1/21/2008) | | |  Brown offer four decades worth of experience, having worked on the
cutting edge of broadcast and post production technology for companies
such as Intertel VTR Services, Lion Television, Video RSA South Africa
and then MPC. Along the way he’s been involved in many milestones,
including the first satellite transmission from the UK, work on Queen’s
music video for Bohemian Rhapsody, and taking MPC into HD production
and a data-centric future.
“We are at another tipping point for the industry,” says Brown, “one
where tools will become natural to the user and the technology will
fade into the background where it belongs. We used to have to all be
engineers to make film and television, but it’s the craft skills - and
empowering those skills - that will dominate the next phase of
development in the industry.”
