<divclass="eyebrow">Corporate Broadcast · 2026</div><h1>CVS / Aetna Broadcast Facility</h1><pclass="lede">Principal Design Engineer and Lead Commissioner for a new broadcast facility at CVS Aetna through Broadcast Management Group, featuring a Ross FR12 build powering two fully independent control rooms from a single 12RU frame.</p>

<mainclass="sp-main"><divclass="container">
<divclass="sp-prose"><p>Served as Principal Design Engineer and Lead Commissioner for a new broadcast facility at the CVS Aetna campus through Broadcast Management Group, replacing aging studio infrastructure with a modern, efficient production environment built around the Ross FR12 platform.</p><p>The design achieves remarkable efficiency—a single 12RU frame powers two fully independent control rooms, supporting two remote locations plus an on-site studio. This consolidation dramatically reduces rack space, power consumption, and operational complexity.</p><p>Native Zoom and Microsoft Teams integration was engineered directly into the FR12 routing fabric, enabling seamless contribution from remote guests and hybrid meeting participants without external encode/decode hardware. Presenters and talent can join via standard conferencing clients while appearing as clean, delay-managed sources within the production switcher—bridging corporate communication workflows with broadcast-grade production.</p><p>The system was engineered with scalability at its core, with clear pathways for future expansion including HDR and 4K capabilities, enhanced I/O routing, and additional production environments as CVS's content needs grow.</p></div>
