Richard Green (telecommunication)

Richard (Dick) Green is Director of Liberty Global Corporation,[1][2] Shaw Communications Inc.,[3] and currently serves as chairman of the Space Sciences Institute[4] and the University of Colorado Boulder's ATLAS Institute[5] in Boulder, Colorado. He previously served as President and CEO of not-for-profit research and development consortium CableLabs.

Green began his career in research as an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington. During his residency in Seattle, he also served as a Senior Member of the Technical Staff of the Geo-Astrophysics Laboratory, a component of the Boeing Scientific Research Laboratory. In that role he published numerous articles on lunar and planetary subjects including a study of lunar geo-morphology in 1969.[6]

Following a move to Los Angeles, Green became a Department Manager in the Laser Division of the Hughes Aircraft Company, before beginning his career in television as manager of ABC’s Video Tape Post Production Department in Hollywood in 1977. Green served briefly as Director of Engineering at Times Fiber Communications in 1979 developing technology for cabling of fiber- and electro-optic and laser technology for application in cable television distribution before accepting the role of director of the CBS Advanced Television Technology Laboratory in 1980. During his time at CBS, Green worked to develop digital and high definition television technology and helped to organize and establish the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), a multi-industry-supported organization founded to develop voluntary national standards for advanced television, where he held the position of Executive Director until 1983.

Following his work with the ATSC, Green acted as senior vice president of Broadcast Operations and Engineering at the Public Broadcasting Service where his contributions included construction of national network origination and transmission facilities until the founding of CableLabs in 1988.[7] There, Green served as President and CEO. Green’s instituted and managed key technology projects that helped the cable industry develop new services and achieve standardization and interoperability among multiple industry companies and suppliers. Green retired from CableLabs in 2008.[8][9][10] He received the Charles F. Jenkins Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award in 2012.[11] In recognition for his achievements in broadcast television and cable, Green received the Charles G. Jenkins Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award in 2012.[12]

Telecommunications standards

Green has been actively involved in a number of standards-setting efforts within the telecommunication industry; including the establishment of guidelines governing the management of HDTV signals,[13][14] the creation of the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), and the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification.[15][16]

Green has also chaired numerous Committees in the International Communication Union (ITU) including the US team behind ITU-R Recommendation BT.601, a worldwide television standard for digital signals,[17] and ITU-T Study Group 9;[18][19] the group behind the ITU's recommendations concerning voice, data and video IP applications over CATV networks (IPCablecom), interactive cable television service, high-speed data services, and IP-based video distribution.[20]
