NOVATO, CA (July 18, 2017) – Scenarist, LLC, the developer of Hollywood-standard professional authoring systems based in Marin County, California, announced today that Rob Aubey, well known and highly respected authoring industry veteran, has joined Scenarist as Director of Application Engineering. Rob will contribute his more than 13 years of format and sales experience with Sony’s Creative Software and New Media Solutions groups as the product manager for the Blu-print and DoStudio product lines to help drive the adoption of Scenarist’s products for Ultra HD Blu-ray. In his new role, Rob will focus his efforts on helping authoring facilities migrate their existing workflows and best practices to Scenarist UHD where they can easily harness the BD and Ultra HD Blu-ray formats and quickly begin providing authoring services to customers worldwide. The result will be more facilities delivering titles with the ultimate in quality and compatibility to meet the rapidly growing consumer demand for 4K content in the living room.
