FORscene wins major sports deal with YouTube
Forbidden Technologies, the AIM quoted developer of the market
leading cloud video platform FORscene, is pleased to announce that
YouTube is using FORscene for a major sporting event being held in
London this summer.
Forbidden announced in December 2011 that YouTube had licensed
Forbidden Technologies' FORscene platform.
FORscene is being integrated into a larger YouTube system for
use by multiple YouTube clients for professional editing of dozens
of live and near-live sports feeds this summer. FORscene provides
the professional cloud editing and transcoding components of the
system.
Claude Ruibal, Global Head of Sports Content Partnerships at
YouTube, says:
"As the world's leading video site, YouTube has a strong
commitment to providing quality content, and sport is a significant
part of this. I am delighted to be using FORscene's exceptional
cloud-based video platform for the cloud editing and transcoding
components of YouTube's offering."
Stephen Streater, CEO, Forbidden Technologies, says:
"FORscene's scaleability and ability to edit content as it comes
in are well suited to sport. I am happy to have found an
opportunity to demonstrate FORscene's capabilities in a major
sports project."
