Wanted: Expert in IP Video/TV Signal Integration Architecture

The VP of Engineering of a company that will remain nameless here has contacted me looking for an consulting expert who is hands on and up-to-date with regards to how broadcast TV or studio signals are moved over the Internet to a CDN for distribution over an IP wired or wireless network.

This company is seeking an individual who has strong experience using existing equipment/protocols/systems to solve real-world problems, and not someone who specializes in designing next gen networks.

Knowledge of the following is required:

• Relaying video signals over IP channels
• IPTV architecture
• ATM vs. IP for video transfer
• Knowledge of current standards, including codecs, formats, QoS, and Protocols
• Knowledge of current industry practices, including popular hardware for signal relay over IP, bandwidth issues, integration best practices, and SLAs.

If you are such an individual, or know of someone who would make a good candidate for this assignment, please contact me directly and I will put you in touch with the company.
