The DVB Steering Board has endorsed Kevin Murray in his role as the new chair of the organisation’s Technical Module.
Murray, who works for Cisco, takes over following the retirement of the BBC’s Nick Wells.
“I’m honoured to be taking over the role of DVB TM chair, particularly as I believe this is a very important time for DVB and our members’ businesses with the continued growth of IP delivery, the broadening of device types for content consumption, the increased power of devices and the potential of hybrid systems,” said Murray.
The former lecturer in Computer Science at City University in London joined DMV in 1997. The company later become a part of NDS before its acquisition by Cisco. His work has included contributing to the development of HD, new coding techniques, home networking technologies, advanced DVRs, IP delivery of TV, file formats for content, 3DTV and most recently Companion Screens.
