Milford
, MA
- In a move to
strengthen its position as licensor of digital legacy audio technology
to the TV industry, THAT Corporation has named Scott W. Skinner to the
position of dbx-TV® Licensing
Support Engineer. Skinner
will be responsible for evaluating licensee implementations of the
company's dbx-TV-audio standards intellectual property, which now
extend to all worldwide legacy TV and FM audio broadcast standards
(including BTSC, NICAM, EIAJ, A2, FM Stereo).
According to Les Tyler, THAT's
President, "Our base of licensees has grown significantly in the
last year, as IC makers have recognized that legacy - primarily analog
- TV standards must coexist with the latest digital transmission
systems. Our IP enables IC
makers to develop digital receiver chips for the old analog
broadcasts. Scott will enable
us to keep up with evaluations that ensure that dbx-TV-equipped ICs
meet our strict standards of quality."
Scott’s most recent employment was
at EMC as a Senior Platform Support Engineer. Prior to EMC, he served
as Senior Electrical Engineer at Temptronic, where he spent 19 years.
Tyler
commented, "I knew and worked
with Scott over 25 years ago when we were both at dbx, Inc. -- where
the original dbx-TV noise reduction system used in the US BTSC TV
standard was invented. In
a sense, now, he's come full circle, to the first of the many
spin-offs from dbx.
THAT Corporation, founded in 1989, licenses patents,
trademarks, and other intellectual property to the TV broadcast and
reception industries. Under
the dbx-TV brand name, THAT offers digital (Verilog®) implementations
of legacy TV audio receiver standards covering all parts of the world,
including BTSC, A2, NICAM, and EIA-J, in addition to analog FM stereo.
The company also makes and sells high-performance analog
integrated circuits for professional audio manufacturers, including
it's well-known line of IC voltage-controlled amplifiers (VCAs) and
RMS-level detectors used throughout the pro audio industry. The
company is headquartered in
