With deep involvement in bringing to market some of the world’s first professional MPEG-4 AVC HD transmission systems and more latterly HEVC HD and 4k solutions, Edwards has real-world experience of the practicalities involved in balancing bit rate, quality, and latency to create solutions that meet real-world technical performance and commercial operational goals.

With a background as an RF design engineer, Edwards was instrumental in the design of the first direct conversion demodulator products that led to a size and cost revolution in the transmission of digital video.
