Forbidden Technologies Announces two leading UK companies to
integrate the Blackbird Platform
Forbidden Technologies plc (AIM: FBT), the developer and seller
of cloud video platform technology using its patented Blackbird
technology is pleased to announce two new Blackbird platform
customers are using Blackbird's mobile upload service and Mac Edge
technology.
A leading UK production company has now integrated the Blackbird
Upload App running on IOS devices as a major part of their
production workflow. User-generated content is a significant part
of television production giving more content and point of views for
editing. In this workflow, users are shooting over several weeks.
The Blackbird Upload App allows production to create a simple
'smartphone to cloud edit platform' using Blackbird Forte without
the need for time consuming and complicated exporting, backing up,
and transcoding media into a unified format for editing. The full
HD content will be uploaded to the Blackbird cloud where the
Blackbird codec is generated from the content. Editors will curate
and select content shot by 30 members of the public. Selects will
be exported as a DNxHD format from Blackbird publish and integrated
in post-production.
Middlechild, a leading U.K. production company is currently
using the new Blackbird Mac Edge technology on their series
Wildlife Rescuers with the requirement to transcode and upload
proxy video based on the high bit-rate content from numerous remote
locations. The speed efficiency of the Mac Edge transcode
accompanied by the light network requirements of the Blackbird
codec solves the challenge of low network speeds which are often
the reality during remote shoots. The Blackbird Mac Edge technology
is utilised on location as a standard part of the DIT file-based
workflow. The result is immediate accessibility of the content from
anywhere in the world.
Middlechild's Series Producer Tim Dalby who is working with
Blackbird says, the platform has been invaluable. "It gets the edit
closer to the story, so geographical distance no longer creates a
delay while you wait for rushes to be physically delivered back to
the edit suite. Every day I can see footage shot in remote parts of
England automatically transcoded on location into Blackbird proxies
with minimal delay."
Forbidden CEO Ian McDonough says, "We're delighted to announce
these deals as they showcase two new exciting innovations. The
successful deployment of The Blackbird Edge and the mobile upload
extends the reach of the Blackbird platform increasing our
addressable market significantly."
