Broadcast Pix Hires Industry Vet
Holten as senior workflow engineer.
Broadcast Pix announced the addition of industry veteran Michael “Aussie” Holten as senior workflow engineer. Holten is an accomplished video producer, editor, theatrical sound designer, and software designer. He is expected to further enhance the streamlined workflow inherent in Broadcast Pix’s highly integrated live video production systems.
“Broadcast Pix has redefined the switcher as an integrated live video production studio that has broken new ground in ease of use,” said Ken Swanton, president of Broadcast Pix. ” Aussie’s hands-on know-how and innovative approach will help us raise the bar further.”
Holten was chosen for his extensive experience in video production and knowledge of software tools, at a time when Broadcast Pix is rapidly expanding its line of Slate video production systems, the company said.
“I’m excited to be joining Broadcast Pix. They are a company with a unique product that provides a development path for a variety of markets,” said Holten. “Their Slate switchers already possess impressive technology to streamline live production.”
Holten managed his own production companies in Seattle for 25 years and has received several awards, including an area Emmy for Best Documentary for “A Question of Survival.” He was also a third-party developer of tools for nonlinear editing systems, authoring 300 high-speed video and audio editing tools through his software company, OZware. Most recently, Holten was a software engineer and video analyst at San Antonio-based NewTek. He is originally from Australia.
