I had the opportunity to talk over Zoom with Anton Kapela, owner of K03IM-D, an ATSC 1.0 TV station broadcasting well over a dozen high quality channels, including many in 4K, by heavily fine-tuning video codecs like HEVC. In addition, Anton Kapela has built innovative networking solutions throughout his career, and has worked for major Internet infrastructure companies like Cloudflare. As CTO and co-founder of EdgeMicro, he explored the technical limitations of Internet architecture through edge networking. He also co-engineered and built the lowest-latency microwave relay network between Chicago and New York for high-frequency trading clients. Anton's research has also lead to the creation of a U.S. patent focused on mobility networking.

I had the opportunity to talk over Zoom with the co-founders of igolgi, Inc.: Jeff Cooper and Dr. Kumar Ramaswamy. They both worked on aspects of the original ATSC standard in the 90s, ATSC 1.0. In 2008 they founded igolgi, whose encoding equipment was used to deploy H.264 at 80+ Bridge News stations across the United States. We also discuss more general, highly technical topics in the broadcast space including efficient video coding, ATSC 3.0, 5G Broadcast, and data carousels pertaining to datacasting with ATSC 3.0.
