In 1962 he moved to the Central Research Department of the Rank organization working on highspeed computer printers and fiber optic communications using lasers. Norman joined ABC Television in 1965 working on the development of color television and subsequently the use of digital techniques in television studios. It was while studying these techniques that he designed and built the first computerized presentation and master control switcher in Europe. In 1973 he joined ITCA, now the ITV Association, where as Head of Engineering Services he is responsible for the management of the ITV studio technical development program. In this position he has been responsible for the development of the Oracle teletext system, the first digital video television studio in the U.K. and the first mobile HDTV studio facility in Europe working to the 150/50 standard.", "name": "Norman W.

(Hons.) degree in electrical and electronic engineering, and immediately joined the Advanced Developments Department at Sony Broadcast. Here he became involved with the development of the digital VTR and the early design of a HDVS systems. In 1984 he took an eighteen month break from broadcasting and joined a simulation company, where he gained microprocessor design experience, joining the ITV Association Technical Development Laboratory at Thames Television, London, in 1985. Here he has been involved in the setting up of the first UK digital television studio facility, with the development of a digital PAL decoder. He has contributed to the development of a MAC system for ENG use (the ITV Association's ACLE system) and is currently working on the digital signal processing of high-definition television signals.", "name": "Derek P.
