Neil Feldman studied Electrical Engineering at Case Western University in Cleveland Ohio. He graduated with Honors in 1977 with a BSEE. Upon graduation he also received the "Theta Tau Award" given by the Delta Chapter of Case Institute of Technology. While an undergraduate he was also elected to both Etta Kappa Nu (Electrical Engineering) and Tau Beta Pi (Engineering) honor societies.

While at Case Western Neil served for two consecutive years as the General Manager of radio station WRUW-FM. He was also a founding director in the effort to establish a full service public radio station (WCPN) in Cleveland. Upon graduation Neil went to work for Motorola, Inc. at their Portable Products Division in Plantation, Florida. He participated in the design of the PT-500 series of public service VHF transceivers. Later he was selected by the Paging Products Group to be one of two engineers sent to Austin, Texas to work on the first generation Motorola CMOS family of microprocessor products (the 146805 IC series). During this period he designed the MC146818 and the MC146819 CMOS Real-Time Clock chips. As part of this effort he was awarded his first patent (#4,366,560) for a unique automatic Power-Down Detection circuit issued on December 28, 1982. Neil left Motorola in 1980 and briefly served as Chief Engineer for Third Coast Video in Austin. During this time period he became one of the few individuals in America to ever win a case under the FCC's Fairness Doctrine (involving the public television station in Austin.) In April 1981 he moved to Dallas, Texas to begin a new company called Video Post and Transfer.

Neil Feldman is the President and owner of Video Post & Transfer, Inc., the first video post-production facility totally dedicated to independent producers. Video Post & Transfer has since carved out a national reputation for technical innovation in the post-production industry, pioneering a number of firsts in the field. Some of these include:

·(In 1982): A system for "burning" into video transfers of film the actual laboratory film frame numbers printed along the edge of the film. This system worked at the TV field rate to assign the edge number to every picture field at the correct 3-2 pulldown rate. This approach allowed feature film editors to electronically edit a project solely on videotape, yet still ultimately derive an accurate film cutting list for negative film conforming. The independent feature film "Benji, the Hunted" utilized this unique system. Upon completion of this film we suggested to Kodak that they should put a bar-code on the edge of the film along with the edge code. At that time Kodak refused to do it. Fuji was more receptive to this idea. They told us that "if Kodak does it, we will do it". Years later Keycode was finally introduced by Kodak, albeit without acknowledgement of these earlier suggestions to them.

·(In 1983): A scene-by-scene color corrector for Rank Cintel MKIII telecines that allowed programmed moves, pans, and zooms on 35mm slides or stopped 16mm or 35mm film frames. This unique system also utilized "Bubble Memory" for storage of all color corrections.

·(In 1984): A proprietary "foolproof" automatic scene detector that identified the last frame of a given scene without having to shuttle the film back and forth in the telecine. This system was called foolproof because it never sensed falsely and it worked on scenes that ended in dissolves, or contained pans or fast moving action. Neil Feldman was subsequently granted his second patent (#4,698,664 - Audio-Visual Monitoring System) for this idea on October 6, 1987.

·(In 1984): The world's first 35mm "anti-weave" gate for Rank Cintel MKIII telecines.

·(In 1985): A fully digital color corrector for Rank Cintel MKIII telecines that accepted "trackball" entered differential inputs for registering color corrections and x-y position and zoom parameters

·(In 1986): Assisted Litton Industries in the development of new Cathode Ray Tubes for flying spot scanners. These tubes served as the source of illumination for these telecines. These new CRT's featured higher resolution, longer life, no phosphor burn patterns and much higher blue light spectrum output. These features translated into less noise on film to tape transfers and cleaner edges for Ultimatte special effects.

·(In 1990): The world's first all Digital Real-time Editing and Audio Mastering system (Dream) for on-line audio post-production directly in the linear digital video edit suite. The DREAM system was both a real-time mixer and work-station combined. It was directly compatible with the AES/EBU 48khz digital audio formats found on all high-end digital tape decks.

·(In 1993): Introduced the Meta-Speed Digital Servo System for all Cintel flying spot scanners (MKIII, Turbo, URSA Gold, and URSA Diamond). The Meta-Speed system is a full "board swap" that replaces the earlier Cintel built analog servo system. It features extreme vertical film stability, very broad speed range (0 to over 120 FPS) and numerous other enhancements. Video Post and Transfer was granted a patent (#5,680,172) covering this system on October 21, 1997. Meta-Speed is now a Cintel factory-installed option on all new URSA Golds and Diamonds. There are over 225 systems installed worldwide.

Neil is a member of the IEEE, SMPTE, SPIE, SBE, and the ITVA. He has served in a variety of positions within SMPTE. He was Dallas Section Chairman for two consecutive terms. He was then elected as one of the Governors for the Southern Region in 1990-91. He served as an At-Large Governor in 1992 and then was re-elected Southern Governor in 1993-94. He became Financial Vice-President in 1996-97. He also served as the National Membership Chairman and on various committees (Education, Sections, Financial and Fellows) during those years.

Neil is also an active amateur radio operator (W3CAF) and private pilot.
