Amy Philipson (Research Channel)
is the Assistant vice Provost, for the University of Washingtons Streaming Media Video and TV Technologies organization, Executive Director of the ResearchChannel, and Executive Director of Pacific Northwest GigaPOP. Amy is responsible for the UW's extensive, award winning Television, Video production and major advanced multimedia efforts. She led the successful efforts to establish and manages the UW's two cable channels (UWTV and uw2.tv) in the greater Puget Sound metropolitan area and across the State of Washington, and has built a subscriber base of 2 million (and growing). UWTV programming has received many awards including Emmy nominations, Golden Cine, Best of the Northwest and others.
Ms. Philipson is also the founder of the international ResearchChannel (aka ResearchTV) consortium, which includes many leading research universities, international networks and key corporate research partners such as Microsoft Research, Intel and IBM. In addition to providing on-demand programming and distribution of broadcast TV materials via the Internet, the ResearchChannel has a full time national channel on Echostar's consumer oriented Dish500 Direct Broadcast Satellite system which reaches many millions of citizens across the country. The ResearchChannel pioneered MPEG-2 high quality broadcast TV quality (and above) demand-video distribution services, and catalyzed and produced the first real-time, and first live, high definition television transmissions over the internet. These HDTV over IP efforts included a series of record setting demonstrations in which over a billion bits per second of real-time, uncompressed studio-quality HDTV streams were successfully distributed over international next generation networks. Ms. Philipson holds BS and MCP degrees from MIT.Jim DeRoest (ResearchChannel & University of Washington)
is the Director of Streaming Media Technologies for the University of Washington Streaming Media Video and TV Technologies (UWTV and uw2.tv television), the ResearchChannel, and KEXP radio. Jim directs research and development teams charged with architecting scalable media asset management and streaming services supporting TV, radio, university research and educational outreach activities. Focus areas for research include; advanced metadata and ontologies for broadcast and eLearning, computational/data grid cyberinfrastructure for media distribution, advanced codecs, and rights management middleware. Jim chairs the Internet2 middleware video on demand working group and is a member of international video collaboration groups including the Pragma telescience and APAN High Definition Video working groups.
Michael Wellings (Research Channel)
is the Engineering Director for the ResearchChannel consortium, which provides programming via the Internet and supports a 7x24 broadcast channel nationwide. Michael also directly contributes to the ResearchChannel goals of content creation and manipulation processes to test materials for analog and digital broadcast and on-demand multimedia offerings and creates experiments with new methods of distribution and interaction on a global basis.
Michael pioneered efforts in MPEG-2 high-quality on-demand video distribution and was the chief broadcast architect for High Definition Television over IP networks with streams ranging up to 1.5Gbps per stream. He is also the Engineering Director for the University of Washington's national television channel UWTV and local cable channel uw2.tv as well as Director of Engineering for the University of Washington's radio station KEXP-FM. Michael was responsible for the successful demonstration of uncompressed audio streams over internet and leads a team of 10 engineers to further push the intersection of technologies that combine Internet, satellite and cable distribution.
