Chuck Kocsis founded Coachman Media after identifying an opportunity to help broadcasters and media companies embrace the TCP/IP transformation happening in the industry. With manufacturers adopting IP throughout their product portfolios, broadcasters find themselves in unfamiliar territory. Why make the change to IP? How is it done? What about my existing infrastructure investment? Coachman can help.
Chuck entered the broadcast industry in 1992 as a freelance camera operator. After a few years working in Master Control, he went on to serve as the lead Broadcast Engineer at PAX-TV (Ion Media) where he designed and led the buildout of the network facility in 1998. He joined Louth Automation in 2000, servicing and installing new automation systems in the field. Moving on to product development, Chuck held various technical and management roles across the Louth | Harris Broadcast | Imagine Communications portfolio. In the last few years, Chuck was an integral part of Imagine's push into IP-based video solutions. He built a worldwide network of Labs and Cloud-based deployments for 2022-6 systems, gaining invaluable real-world experience in all aspects of data center, cloud, and advanced networking topologies. He's a member of SMPTE. Additionally, Chuck can be heard on the air as a ham radio operator (K0CIS), and is a licensed private pilot.
