• Comprehensive knowledge of broadcast video standards, SDI-to-IP workflows, video routing, signal conversion, resolution/frame rate considerations, and color space/HDR standards
• Proven track record leading live runs-of-show, managing technical crews, and maintaining composure while troubleshooting under tight, real-time deadlines
