Mark Stephens’s Experience

  • Senior Architect

    Turner / CNN

    (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; twx; Computer Software industry)

    March 2003Present (6 years 5 months)

    Senior Architect for CNN's Newsroom integration project. Responsible for design / requirements of newsroom digital conversion. This entailed integrating hardware from Ingest all the way to air, including systems from Pinnacle, Virage, Kasenna and IPV. Along with the design and requirements I was responsible for delivering systems which controlled 24x7 ingest encoders storing media from satellite feeds. My current project consists of replacing the low resolution (proxy) server with a more robust / scaleable solution that will house proxy for all of CNN's 300,000 hours of media going forward.
