Todd Collart

SVP, New Media, Deluxe Digital Studios

Todd Collart is responsible for Deluxe's new technology initiatives, including network services (BD-Live, Digital Copy), digital (electronic) distribution, R&D, and intellectual property development. His team has shipped over 1000 Blu-ray skus, 100 of which are BD-Live enabled, and delivered over 15,000 digital video files for electronic distribution in the last 12 months alone.

Mr. Collart was previously a SVP for Sonic Solutions responsible for driving corporate and technology strategy across Sonic's divisions, including the Roxio consumer software division. Mr. Collart joined Sonic via its acquisition of InterActual Technologies in 2004, where he was co-founder, President and CEO.

InterActual is best known for inventing what is now called "connected DVD" or "WebDVD" that shipped on over 1500 Hollywood DVDs and used by over 130M consumers worldwide.

InterActual's technology was the predecessor for the advanced interactivity features included in both Blu-ray and HD DVD.

In addition to his role as an evangelist, speaker, and developer in the DVD community for the last 12+ years, Mr. Collart was chosen by insider publications as one of the 21 most influential executives in the DVD industry since DVD's introduction in December 1995.

Prior to co-founding InterActual, Mr. Collart served in marketing and managerial roles with NEC Technologies, Synopsys, and Andersen Consulting.

Mr. Collart received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego. Mr. Collart has 18 issued patents and over 20 pending patents, several of which are essential for the Blu-ray and HD DVD formats.
