Charles Brown became President in 1948,of the Academy of Television Arts and Science (ATAS) the year during which the Emmy was named by Harry Lubke, the Academy's third President. It was also in 1948 that Emmy Awards were first presented in Hollywood.

Joe Bluth, Oscar Wilson, Bradley Kemp, and Bob Ringer proposed a tape to film system for Technicolor, obtained the funding, and started Vidtronics. division of Technicolor. Vidtronics was originally housed in the original (1929) west coast headquarters of Technicolor (now owned by Laser-Pacific). Vidtronics then moved to larger quarters (the former Bruning building) in the early '70s. Many interesting people worked for Vidtronics during its 20 year history. Bill Hogan, Jim Mendrala, Sterling Davis, Jack Calloway, Andy MaCintire, Gary Thompson, and Others
Pete Comandini started YCM Labs in Burbank, CA and also worked with Bob Ringer at Vidtronics and Image Transform.

Joe Bluth left Vidtronics and headed CFI Video in the later '70s (until Mel Saulsen took over after selling Acme Videotape to CFI), then formed Bluth Video which, I think, was purchased by Andy Macintire, who previously worked for Vidtronics. Many interesting people worked at Bluth Video, CFI Videotape, and Andy Macintire Enterprises. 20
