LONDON, Sept. 8,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackbird plc (AIM: BIRD; OTCQX:
BBRDF), the technology licensor, developer and seller of
market-leading cloud native video editing platform, Blackbird,
today announced that the Company is showcasing professional
browser-based video production at IBC 2022 with Microsoft.
Cloud native Blackbird is a professional level video
editing and publishing platform accessed through any browser.
Enabling fast, scalable and collaborative production, Blackbird
provides instant access to video content for the easy creation of
clips, highlights and long form content for rapid publishing to
digital channels. Blackbird also significantly reduces time and
resources for content reversioning and enables
universal content access for creation and distribution.
Reducing carbon emissions by up to 91% compared to traditional
video editing workflows, Blackbird also reduces infrastructure
costs by up to 75% due to its highly efficient cloud native
architecture. In addition, a recent study demonstrated that
Blackbird is up to 4 times faster than on premise video editing
platforms for popular workflows.
Blackbird Edge can be deployed on the Microsoft Azure public
cloud platform in minutes. Blackbird supports the use of Azure Blob
Storage of video for ingest and publishing which enables
transparency of operation between traditional and cloud enabled
workflows for high quality content creation and delivery to any
device. In addition to this, Blackbird is integrated with Azure
Media Services for stream handling and VOD encoding of edits.
A growing number of organizations use Blackbird on Azure for
efficient, sustainable video editing and publishing including
Deltatre and the National Rugby League (NRL).
During IBC Blackbird will demonstrate how its platform can run
on Microsoft Azure and integrate seamlessly with other leading
media production platforms for the fast, efficient turnaround of
premium live sports content.
Blackbird CEO, Ian McDonough,
said: "We're really excited to once again be partnering
with Microsoft for the first IBC in 3 years. The Microsoft and
Blackbird teams, in combination with other leading technology
players, continue to streamline, innovate and drive increasing
functionality, speed and carbon efficiencies as well as cost
effectiveness to media and entertainment cloud workflows. We are
thrilled to be building a deeper partnership and showcase our
seamless integration at IBC."
Blackbird will be exhibiting on the Microsoft booth (#1.D25) and
its own booth (#8.C01) at IBC 2022 from 9-12 September.
