Capability Overview
Prepared by: Patrick Osterman / February 1, 2013
Distribution Platform• Overall responsibility to create the broadcast platform including
workflows, Network Operations and engineering. Further including in-studio production and field broadcast and production operations, post production, technical maintenance and engineering
• Oversee all technical and operational planning as well day-to-day technical broadcast engineering construction activities and issues. Ensure production and broadcast platform reliability at the highest quality.
• Provide near-term and forward-looking guidance and support to the Production department both in-studio and at field events.
• Lead and maintain all technical aspects of a fully functioning facility.
Construction Planning• Develop comprehensive technical and operational plan, create a studio
plan, post-production workflows and network platform capable of standard definition (SD) or high definition (HD) signal
• Create a comprehensive roadmap based on objectives, timing and funding. Monitoring targets to performance, ensure that each stakeholder is accountable to the deliverable.

Studio Construction/ Set Design• Direct hands-on management of all design, construction, production and
broadcast technical functions related to LIVE, studio and field events• Experience is the solution to problems unforeseen. Contingency planning
and redundancy keep you on the air
Facility Design Construction

Production / Broadcast Leadership• Facilitation of set design, studio construction, facility infrastructure. LIVE
broadcast production, broadcast engineering / operations• Skilled at Technical Director, Audio Technician, Lighting Director, Tape Op
and Floor Direction, Jib/Pedestal Cameras and Audience Management• I am credited on IMDb as a director, studio engineer and have produced
hundreds of sports productions since 1986, garnering an Emmy nod.• I’ve recruited, trained and mentored network operations, engineering,
post-production, field production crew and technical staffs.

Production WorkflowGeneric Overview
Fiscally Seasoned• Develop and manage all construction budgets along with a forecasts for
studio and field production projects. Manage broadcast operations budget to include technical and operational capital expenditures .
• The below are a few of the budgets that I’ve created and maintained for Broadcast Operations, Network Engineering and Field Productions.
Continuous Improvement• Continually evaluate technical and operational functions/capabilities and
take appropriate actions to ensure Broadcast Operations group activities support overall company objectives
• Propose to implement performance metrics that, at a glance, will provide evidence that can be evaluated against target milestones. Various dashboards could be updated automatically providing instant snapshots of critical operations, functions and costs.
Hands-On• Hands-on and working knowledge of systems/equipment used in functions identified
including analog/digital video/audio signals, HD and monitoring/archival equipment.• Strong studio, field production engineering skills• Excellent leadership and organizational skills - Strong communication and computer skills

Middleware Development
• I have led several software development projects that have enhanced internal workflows, increased revenue ratios on sold advertising spots and engaged revenue generating viewership.
• I support a web-based vendor portal for construction management – A portion of this portal would contain a knowledge base guiding vendors through process and interaction with Riot Games. It would also link with internal notifications and workflows.
• Contained within the portal would be delivery specifications and vendor performance rankings for field productions, but also serve as a notification engine for RFP processing, approvals, forecasting and communication.
Team Development• I can hire, direct, manage and develop/mentor the production and
Network Operations group to ensure managerial and operational skills support an open, collaborative and high performance environment
• Build a cross functional team that fosters interdependence and self reliance relies on the sound philosophical foundation of the company
• The quality outcome of effective mentoring starts with a rational steadfast leader who rolls up the sleeves and digs in.
• Further, creating a foundation of problem resolution called the 3 C’s: Communication, Creativity and Collaboration . To root cause the issue and ensure against its repeat.
