Daniel Stark
| Dan has over 30 years of VLSI design engineering experience specializing in the fields of video signal processing, computer architecture, VLSI modeling, simulation and software algorithm development.After receiving a B.S in Electrical Engineering from Rutgers University, Dan joined RCA’s Astro Electronics Division where he worked as a principal independent R&D investigator developing spaceborne flight computer articles and peripheral satellite bus equipment. Dan was primarily involved in the design of radiation-hardened integrated circuits, systems, flight article certification and project management including cost, schedule and the technical proposal and design review process.
During his tenure at Intel’s Digital Video Interactive Operation, work concentrated in the design and verification of custom Video Signal Processing IC’s that helped form the foundation of Intel’s entry into the then emerging multimedia arena. Dan managed DVI’s Architecture Verification Group and also worked as a software algorithm developer. At Princeton Video Image, Dan developed embedded DSP software and a reprogrammable hardware platform and that was used to perform real-time morphological image transformations that appeared ‘live, on-air’ using the company’s Technical Emmy Award winning LVIS® virtual insertion system. Variations of this platform hardware was used as a general purpose DSP processor stage to implement other image transformations, housekeeping functions and various signal processing tasks. Additional experiences at AT&T’s Bell Laboratories, Sarnoff Corporation, Clique Communications and Sirius Satellite Radio continued to leverage Dan’s expertise in signal processing, VLSI architectures, system simulation and software development for numerous commercial products. Products on which Dan has worked include those within the areas of High Definition television, video signal processing, video instant messaging, end-user software application production and design library algorithm design. Dan is a published technical author and has received several significant individual technical awards from RCA, Intel and Princeton Video Image. P 267.880.1720 EXT 127 |
