Companies
NANOTECH ENTERTAINMENT (OTCPINK: NTEK), a pioneer in bringing
the 4K Ultra HD experience to consumers, announced today the
appointment of Blake Brown as NanoTech’s Lead Technical Developer
for its global media business. Brown brings more than 25 years of
multimedia engineering experience in developing video, encoder and
decoder products for many of the industry’s leading multimedia
companies in Silicon Valley.
Brown holds numerous patents with Sony, Avistar, Futuretel,
Emuzed and Hitachi for software development related to compression,
storage, streaming, networking and 3D. While manager and senior
software engineer at Pinnacle Systems, he was a primary contributor
on a compression-related Technical Emmy and a significant
contributor on a small team for a second Technical Emmy. Brown’s
previous experience also includes software development for Amazon,
DirectTV and Sonic Solutions. Brown has a B.S. in Computer
Engineering from the University of Illinois and an M.B.A. in
Management/Finance from Santa Clara University.
In his new role, Brown will focus on porting NanoTech’s
UltraFlix 4K streaming video distribution service to several major
4K TV brands as well as the emerging 4K-capable smartphones. He
will also provide support for several strategic Nuvola Multiple
System Operator (MSO)/cable TV company customers.
Adding Brown to the NanoTech team is timely considering the
growth in the adoption of 4K Ultra HD TVs and the projected growth
for 4K-capable smartphones. In its February 2014 NPD Display Search
Quarterly Global TV Shipment and Forecast Report - Advanced, 4K×2K
TV shipments are expected to total 1.9 million units in 2013,
rising to 12.7 million units in 2014; and global shipments of
ultra-high-definition (UHD) smartphones are forecast to reach
23 million in 2015.
"Blake is a key addition to our team and we’re honored to have
him join us," said Jeff Foley, CEO of NanoTech Entertainment. “With
the market for our 4K streaming products continuing to expand,
Blake’s broad experience and technical expertise will be invaluable
in meeting the specific needs of our customers.”
“I’m really looking forward to leveraging my experience with
video compression, streaming technology and multimedia platform app
development to help 4K Ultra HD TV manufacturers and Cable TV
providers seamlessly integrate UltraFlix into their offerings to
enhance their customers’ entertainment experience,” said Blake
Brown. “NanoTech is recognized worldwide for bringing the 4K Ultra
HD experience to consumers. Now, our market is expanding. I see
this as a tremendous opportunity to be a part of the resolution
revolution--one of the most exciting evolutions in television.”
