Congoo: Claude Booth

Overview
Bio
My Military experience was in US Coastguard where I received extensive training in communications, radar, and defense systems electronics. This ended with an honorable discharge. Upon leaving the military I was Bio Medical Engineer with the Veterans Administration. I worked in research and designed a telemetry system for brain mapping, co-authored papers and grants.
I entered the postproduction-engineering field in 1978 with The Vidtronics Company
where I developed the practical standardization of broadcast picture monitors in a postproduction facility. I designed and built first dual standard auto detection monitor for Telecine and Paint box applications.
In 1985 I was a senior video engineer at AME and experienced start up to final sale an employee owned postproduction facility and established client following for both the company and myself.
I founded Claude Booth Company in 1991 as owner engineer servicing all phases of production, postproduction consulting, and specializing in field solutions for numerous clients through out the industry. As a designer integrator I have been involved with the most sophisticated systems in the production and postproduction world. It’s been my job in the business to make the workflow as well as the environment impressive and efficient.
