Broadcast Systems Design & Engineering Consulting

Architecture that survives contact with the field.

Independent design and engineering consulting for ST 2110, SDI, and hybrid broadcast infrastructure: central equipment rooms, control rooms, and production environments, scoped by someone who has carried designs through commissioning, not just proposals.

What I Do

Design and engineering work, independent of any integrator's sales motion.

Engagements typically start narrow, with a single design package, a review, or a standards question, and expand as scope becomes clear. No hardware to sell and no integration hours to protect, so the recommendation is the one that fits the facility.

01

System Architecture & Design

ST 2110, SDI, and hybrid IP/baseband topology design. Signal flow, timing architecture, and infrastructure design for CER, PCR, MCR, and ACR environments.

02

Facility & Infrastructure Design

Central equipment room design, fiber infrastructure planning, and control room / production environment layout, built around real operational workflow, not just a rack elevation.

Standards & Compliance Review

Interoperability review, timing architecture validation, and standards compliance assessment for ST 2110 and hybrid deployments, before it's discovered in the field.

Systems Integration Oversight

Technical continuity from design through commissioning and validation, closing the gap between what was specified and what actually gets built.

05

Federal & Government Programs

Design and technical support for complex procurement environments: DoD and civilian agency requirements, technical risk posture, and standards compliance under federal constraints.

Design Review & Second Opinion

Independent evaluation of an existing design, RFP technical response, or vendor proposal, a second set of senior eyes before budget commits to it.

Why Work This Way

A different engagement model than a systems integrator.

This is independent design and engineering consulting, structured for questions that don't require a full procurement cycle to answer.

Standards Fluency

ST 2110, PTP, and SDI as working knowledge.

ST 2110, PTP, SDI, and hybrid baseband/IP topologies are the day-to-day working vocabulary, so conversations can start at the architecture rather than at background explanation.

Vendor-Neutral

No hardware or integration hours to sell.

Recommendations aren't tied to a reseller agreement or margin on integration hours, so the design is evaluated on what fits the facility.

Federal + Commercial Range

Experience across both procurement environments.

Work has included DoD and civilian agency programs as well as commercial broadcast and enterprise media, under different constraints but the same engineering standards.

Delivery-Aware Design

Informed by commissioning experience.

Design decisions are shaped by having carried architecture through integration and commissioning, not only through the specification stage.

Background

Twenty-plus years in military, federal, and commercial broadcast systems.

Experience spans shipboard interior communications systems to one of the first primarily ST 2110 production facilities delivered within the federal government. The approach stays consistent across environments: architecture should reflect what a team can actually build, test, and operate.

Broadcast Design Professionals is structured for engagements that need that kind of review directly, whether that's a design package, a standards question, or a second opinion on an existing architecture.
