Having worked for Abekas, Ampex and Avid, John moved swiftly up the manufacturing alphabet when he became a co-founder of root6 in 1998. With a background in video engineering, John’s witnessed at first hand some major shifts in post-production technology including the adoption of digital, the transition from linear to non-linear working and, more recently, the emergence of file-based workflow. John has a wealth of practical experience in the integration of new technologies in broadcast and post and the considerations that need addressing prior to implementation.
