Forbidden Technologies plc

Wins Royal Television Society Technology Award


Video streaming and editing specialist Forbidden Technologies plc, is delighted
to have won the Royal Television Society Award for Technology in the Post
Production Process, at last night's ceremony at BAFTA in London.

Forbidden's flagship product, FORscene is a 'pay-as-you-go' web-based tool for
video post production, (logging, editing, browsing and publishing) for
broadcast, Internet and mobile video. Its Java design allows modern PCs, Macs
and Linux machines to use FORscene without any software installation or hardware
upgrades. Its interface is designed to be intuitive, responsive, reliable and
accessible anywhere, anytime.

FORscene has been used by major broadcast and production companies including
GMTV, Mentorn and Granada.  Forbidden Technologies has a reseller partnership
with Nats Post Production the large, independent, well-respected provider of
post-production facilities.

The RTS Technology Awards, which are the 'gold standard of achievement in the
television community', seek to recognise excellence in technological activities
from 'scene-to-screen and back'. The award for Technology in the Post Production
Process was presented by Stephen Cole, Presenter, BBC World.  This award is for
products which have done the most to improve the processes between original
creation or capture of new content, or the restoration of previously-captured
content, and the storage of completed content prior to delivery to the user.

Vic Steel, Chairman of Forbidden Technologies, said today:

'It is particularly appropriate that FORscene should have been given such a
prestigious award. It underlines the recognition by the broadcast production
industry of a revolutionary new workflow based on web technology.

'The increasing success of FORscene is already reflected by the early stage
interest we have received from clients including GMTV, Mentorn, Nats, and
Granada. Granada's reality TV show 'Trust Me I'm a Holiday Rep' was the first
programme broadcast which was made using FORscene.

'The award is a credit to the hard work and dedication of all our staff.'
