MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and
LONDON, Aug. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TVU Networks, the
market and technology leader in cloud and IP-based live video
solutions, today announced a partnership with Blackbird plc,
developer and seller of the Blackbird® cloud-native video editing
and publishing platform. The agreement seamlessly adds access to
Blackbird's real-time editing tools into the TVU Producer
cloud-based live production platform, opening the door to
simplified camera to cloud to consumer workflows complete with
powerful cloud editing.
Improved access to content for editors reinforces TVU's
commitment to making its cloud-based solutions as robust as
possible. Without leaving the TVU ecosystem, sports productions
have immediate access to multiple ISO recordings, which makes it
faster and easier to edit timely highlight reels that can be
included in the production as well as shared on social media
platforms, OTT, and the web. The same efficiencies can improve live
production workflows for other events as well, from political
debates to concerts, as editors do not have to wait for files to be
uploaded before starting projects.
"Partnering with TVU provides an exciting opportunity for
Blackbird users," said Ian
McDonough, Blackbird CEO. "The ability to access live video
from TVU Producer, TVU Grid, and other areas of the TVU cloud-based
platform makes it easier and faster for editors to access content
from multiple sources. Immediacy is an important element in today's
broadcast environment. Working within TVU means Blackbird editors
can deliver polished packages faster than ever."
Blackbird provides frame-accurate editing with a fully-featured
professional video editor for all skill levels. The browser-based
platform supports up to 12 video and 36 audio tracks with real-time
video and audio transitions, alpha channel overlays, color
correction, and subtitles and closed captions. Blackbird also
features direct publishing to social media platforms, as well as
OTT, web and other digital platforms.
"TVU continues to partner with industry leaders to provide more
functionality and creative freedom for our customers," added
Greg Doggett, Director of sports and
entertainment and strategic partnerships, TVU Networks. "The
integration of Blackbird brings essential editing tools directly
into the TVU ecosystem, which can save editors valuable time while
producing packages during live events."
TVU Producer provides powerful live multi-camera video
production in the cloud with no latency. Transmit live to TVU
Producer from any camera using TVU's range of live video
transmitters, receive live feeds from TVU Grid and TVU RPS, or use
the TVU Anywhere app to receive live video from mobile devices.
Other features include distinctive transitions, graphics overlays,
advanced audio mixing, closed captioning, live audience
