News of the death of TAG Video Systems’ chief strategy and cloud officer Peter Wharton has prompted an outpouring of condolences and laudatory comments about his technical contributions to the industry.
“A star in our skies has gone supernova, our beloved friend Peter Wharton has passed on,” noted Paul Briscoe, chief architect at TAG Video Systems in a lengthy LinkedIn post. “I've had the incredible pleasure and privilege of knowing Peter initially through our varied SMPTE work over many years, and most recently working shoulder-to-shoulder with him in our roles at TAG. Peter was an amazing friend, generous, thoughtful and kind with a huge heart. He could be as objective or subjective as a situation called for, was persnickety on demand and always brought an enlightening and thought-provoking point of view to any conversation.”
