Mr. Butts Chairman of Honor Valor Courage Corporation has a very deep history in the development of Broadcasting and Television
Mr. Butts developed Digital Media Broadcasting Corporation into the first fiber Television Broadcasting Company. Delivering full televised sports over a fiber backbone. This was done with Lockheed Martin, SAVVIS Communications and Edge Technologies. The engineers from all three companies said it could not be done. Lockheed Martin provided 14,000 square feet of office space at the facility in Reston Va. and supported the backend development of the network. SAVIS engineers provided fiber engineering and head end connectivity and transport from their Weehawken, NJ data port. Edge Technologies provided the software integration and DMBC provided the broadcasting technology and uplinks. The Company began on the project on January 4, 2008, and did its first live broadcast on March 4, 2008, at the Jefferson Cup Soccer matches in Richmond VA. Proving Mr. Butts’ theory that you can change “situations, conditions and environments, but you can’t change people” and “you can’t operate in opposite of your most dominate thought”. The engineers were put in a changed situation, condition and environment, with the right dominate thought that they could do it and they did, in only two months.
Mr. Butts developed Digital Media Broadcasting Corporation, to deliver major content. This included signing a contract to broadcast the 2008 WNIT basketball tournament. The finals from Notre Dame, with Notre Dame University against Ohio State University. This was a major undertaking due to not knowing where the finals would be held until the day before the game. ESPN, COMCAST and FOX all turned the broadcast down because of this, but DMBC signed the agreement, provided the broadcast including, full color commentary and sideline interviews.
