LiveU partners with Blackbird for cloud video editing
Enables faster, enriched video delivery from the field to
viewers, streamlining the live production workflow
18 March 2021, Hackensack, New Jersey and London - LiveU, the
leader in live video streaming and remote production solutions, has
teamed up with Blackbird plc (AIM:BIRD), the developer and seller
of the multi award winning cloud-native video editing and
publishing platform, Blackbird, to speed up the production process
and engage viewers with enriched live and video on demand ("VOD")
content.
The pre-integrated solution enables production teams to send
reliable, high-quality video from anywhere and remotely edit,
enrich and publish their live and VOD content to any destination.
This ensures a seamless, consistent user experience for the end
user.
Producers can bring any LiveU feed into the Blackbird editing
workflow in near real-time with no need to wait for the live shot
to be complete, for any files to finish uploading or for memory
cards to be retrieved from the field. This includes live feeds from
any LiveU field unit, and any feed shared by the LiveU Matrix cloud
management and distribution platform.
Using Blackbird's browser-based professional editing toolset,
users can easily create clips, highlights and longer form content -
even with low bandwidth - and instantly publish broadcast quality
content to multiple channels including social, OTT and web.
Blackbird enables enterprises to scale effortlessly, drive
significant productivity improvements and assist in meeting
sustainability and carbon reduction targets due to the platform's
highly efficient cloud native architecture.
Avi Cohen, COO and Co-Founder, LiveU commented: "Our
collaboration with Blackbird is another important example of the
flexibility of our cloud integration module with leading industry
vendors. Every live shot streamed over LiveU can be accessible in
the editing or clipping workflow. For example, customers can use
Blackbird for rapid clipping of any LiveU Matrix feed, as easy as
marking and dragging and dropping the clip to the social network or
alternative destination of their choice. This way, LiveU feeds can
be live on air with the clips posted on social media or on to OTT
or broadcast platforms in near real-time."
Blackbird CEO, Ian McDonough, said: "The world is quickly moving
to 'remote first' in its approach to sports and news production.
Our Blackbird and LiveU partnership is therefore both timely and
exciting. Quality, speed and ultimately exceptional user experience
are the core principles of both platforms and therefore ideal for
broadcasters and digital publishers alike. New and existing
customers of both platforms will be able to enjoy the agility and
flexibility of the combined solution safe in the knowledge that it
is robust, trusted and can also be a part of a sustainability
strategy."
