LONDON, Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Forbidden
Technologies plc, the developer and seller of Blackbird, the
workstation experience in the cloud, has announced that the Buffalo
Sabres have extended their Blackbird partnership.
Blackbird enables the Buffalo Sabres' media team to access,
edit, add closed captions and rapidly publish video highlights of
the NHL team's games to social media and TV for the enjoyment of
fans worldwide. Leading sports production and content development
and distribution company, MSG Networks, which covers Buffalo Sabres
games is also a Blackbird partner.
Blackbird's super low-latency codec allows video to be
frame-accurately viewed and edited just 6 seconds after live from
anywhere using bandwidth as low as 2Mb per second. Video production
teams benefit from a workstation experience in the cloud using
Blackbird - significantly increasing productivity and eliminating
the potential technical points of failure that on-premise hardware
can cause.
Forbidden CEO, Ian McDonough
said: "The Sabres renewing is a great endorsement of how Blackbird
has become a vital part of their video production infrastructure
week in week out. We're delighted to extend our commercial
relationship with them."
"We rely on Blackbird to help us share our live content across
multiple platforms," said Mark
Preisler, Pegula Sports and Entertainment's Executive vice
president of media and content. "Blackbird technology keeps the
process of posting video with captioning simple and efficient."
