Ian McDonough, Chief Executive of Forbidden said: "This is a
logical step forwards for the Company as we consolidate our
commercial efforts behind the Blackbird platform. The collective
noun for a group of blackbirds is a cloud. This is no accident. Our
unique Blackbird codec and toolset is completely cloud-native. The
Blackbird name is synonymous with speed and agility, and this is
exactly what Blackbird provides for our customers. It brings
workstation responsiveness together with all the advantages of the
cloud for collaborative workflows for video professionals and
teams, across the world.
We look forward to a bright future under the all-encompassing
banner of the Blackbird name, as we continue to pursue our mission
to revolutionise the way organisations work with video and maximise
the value of video assets in a rapidly evolving broadcast and
digital landscape."
