Workman holds a degree in electronics technologies from Sierra College and has completed finance coursework in the MBA program at Mt. Saint Mary’s University. He has presented at numerous industry forums, including the SMPTE BBTB Conference, the HBO Comedy Festival, and NAB panel discussions, and he has published articles in the Electronic Engineering Times, Broadcast Engineering, and the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal. “Embrionix SFP modules allow broadcast equipment manufacturers to offer a much wider array of IO options in their products, and even provide flexibility to configure finished goods at the last minute with any mix of SDI, fiber, IP, and even HDMI,” said Workman. “These are just some of the reasons why Embrionix modules are being used in more products today than ever before, and I am thrilled to be taking on the challenge to further advance the worldwide distribution of these innovative technologies.”
