Ronald Banks/Genesis Integrative Solutions
(GIS) has developed several Video Production Systems (VPS) models to interface control of audio/video (CAV), Network Device Interface (NDI), and GIS robotic cameras, UHD video capture, Next-Generation Embedded DevicesTM (NGeDTM), and transport. GIS VPS integrates multiple cameras, NGeDTM, image, audio, NDI, virtual set, and chroma-key sources. The VPS system ISO multi-records, distributes, web streams, and plays playlist functions to create professional broadcast ultra quality (BUQ) productions.

Specialist Engineer:
Performed system-level design for Space Station Freedom Audio/Video systems. Developed Information for Bids (IFB), coordinated system requirements (with subcontractors and management), and participated in system implementation and testing.
Telecommunications Engineer:
As Chief Engineer, I managed the multi-purpose television broadcast quality facility at Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL.
Provided maintenance and upgrades of broadcast-quality television: one (1) central distribution center (CDC), one (1) main video production, three (3) remote production, and three (3) editing facilities. Developed, engineered, and installed campus-wide fiber-optic infrastructure for video, audio, and information distribution between the CDC, remote broadcast-quality television production facilities, and news media distribution centers.
Managed, developed, and installed a cable television head-end system to upgrade from baseband to a broadband campus video distribution system.
I provided procurement technical specifications and requirements for the voice, video, and high-resolution graphic telecommunication demarcation interfaces between Spacelab Shuttle Payload, Marshall Space Flight Center, and other NASA locations.
Project Manager
As Project Manager, I provided NASA management with presentation objectives, descriptions, budgets, and schedule documents.
I developed and implemented the five-year, two-year, and one-year technical budgetary funding forecast plans for NASA Spacelab missions inter/intra telecommunication systems at Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL.
In addition, designed, engineered, installed, and maintained the Spacelab Mission Control Center (MCC) video display information wall and remote video production system, along with an indoor/outdoor public emergency warning system, various tourist exhibits, and multi-center high-fidelity voice-grade recording systems.
Managed and provided configuration management and maintained as-built drawings for WAN/LAN, telecommunications, security, and information technology systems in local and remote inter/infrastructure at Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL.
1. Revitalize Telecommunications and Public Safety infrastructure set to redefine the technology landscape.
Designed, engineered, installed, trained, and operated Primary Safety Answering Point (PSAP) 911 Police, Fire, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and Department of Army Security Guard (DASG), Army, DoD, and federal contract agency help desks.
Operations contract provided dispatch services and alarm monitoring of Integrated Commercial Intrusion Detection System (ICIDS), Fire, and Department of Public Works (DPW) functions via four operator workstations, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, at the Emergency Communication Center, Fort Campbell, KY.
2. GIS celebrates the Emergency-911 (E-911) design, engineering, installation, training, and operations services we provide to fuel our efforts and ignite inspiration for the Emergency Services Internet Protocol Network (ESINet) we deploy.
