Successful completion of pilot with major North American media company
Forbidden Technologies plc (AIM: FBT) is pleased to announce that a pilot announced in July 2017 with a major North American broadcaster and sports rights holder has successfully completed.
During the period of the pilot Blackbird (formerly Forscene) provided producers and editors with a workflow and remote collaborative access to enable them to view and create clips prior to a final editing process.
The producers within the creative division of the Company will start using Blackbird Forte to view, edit and enrich the content of a major North American sports league.
Forbidden CEO, Ian McDonough says:
"We are excited to be taking this relationship to the next stage. I am delighted that the Blackbird pilot has been successful within the creative division. This is a small but crucial step to seeking wider adoption across the Company's media infrastructure."
