And is your friend....good start this morning,sailing past 7p now....
Flying beautifully now.
TheTA is beautiful
Razorman. Hopefully not. Would like to get a few in at 7p or below.
£116k in four buys... great signal that sp has strength at 7p. Roll on tomorrow. Surely has to open up
Well now we know why there was nothing on the offer. Four large late reported Buys at 6.90 and 7p. I think this is about to pop. I think I’m going to get involved tomorrow, and add a few more, as it looks like it wants to Breakout.
Can’t even get a fixed quote to Buy 1k shares. Well bid at 6.60.
The "ducks" are all lined up - need contracts, orders and revenue to start following.
You should be on the company payroll mate as a PR rep.....another good link,thanks.
...I’ve had very big broadcasters in the UK and U.S. telling me that they no longer want to be sending huge amounts of journalists and technical people to major sporting events around the world. It’s not cost effective and it’s not sustainable from an environmental perspective. They can now have smaller footprints of people going to these places and create most of the content remotely. So, it’s great to be where we are at in terms of cloud [capabilities] as the market is undergoing this change. Steven [Streater, Forbidden Technologies Founder and Director of R&D] and the technical team have done a great job of making sure that the software has moved with the times and is futureproofed. So we feel like we’re in a really good spot for this [transition to the] cloud. How are you seeing Blackbird’s role in the M&E market evolving as more organizations look to migrate towards the cloud? The conversations we’re having are with completely different scale than what they were six months ago, and six months ago they were at a different scale to the six before that, so it’s a very exciting time. I think our market is only limited by our imagination, so we have to make sure that we keep focused and we deliver our certain verticals. We have launched two new verticals in the last few weeks as well. We’ve launched a dailies vertical, which one of our new Hollywood customers Atlas Digital will be using. And we’ve launched localization as well. We’ve got our first customer already in localization, which is a very fast-growing business. You can now localize in our cloud live and that codec never leaves the cloud and never gets downloaded, so there’s no security risk – unlike if you’re selling DVDs or emailing files out. It looks like it’s a very promising area for us to develop further in. Earlier the year, you announced a technology alliance with Veritone for its aiWARE artificial-intelligence operating system. How do you see AI and machine-learning impacting the industry today and in the future? I think a lot of people are asking right now “are you AI yes or AI no?” I am definitely AI yes in the right use cases. We’ve seen some very simple use cases for the Veritone technology, such as compliance workflows where you’re pulling out images that shouldn’t be there, like logos. Also there’s logo [detection for] advertising to create an ad count. And then there is simple transcription and translation, which has gotten very good at this point – I think it’s really come a long way. I don’t think we’re there yet with automated clipping, though. We all know how quickly technology can move, but I think it’s still a bit too early. And I think those people who have [adopted auto-clipping technology] this early have probably regretted it. But I’m sure its time will come.
What are the big announcements at IBC this year for Forbidden? We are launching two products here at the show. First is the Mac version of our Blackbird Edge software. This means that any Apple laptop now can [utilize] Blackbird, which opens up remote workflows, particularly. We already have four customers using that product and they’ve gone to remote locations like the Philippines and Cook Islands, and remote locations around the UK – all using very simple Apple hardware to upload into the cloud. The next [announcement], which is the really big one for us, is that we’ve translated our entire digital toolset into JavaScript. This does many things for us, but most importantly it completely futureproofs us. We [have] now moved away from Java, which was problematic for people to download and configure. Now, no integration needs to be done; people can literally log on from any browser to Blackbird and they can edit with just 2 Mbps of bandwidth. So, it massively increases the addressable market for us. Can you tell us a bit about the Blackbird cloud-based workflow you’re demonstrating here at the Microsoft Azure booth? We are showing our Microsoft Azure workflow. This is very handy for the [sports community] and members because it’s the workflow we do with deltatre, which they use for live and VOD content for [American football] and other sports. We have a team in Santa Monica that is editing those very long [football] games down to short highlights and a 40-minute package for [distribution] to European fans of the sport. Microsoft and deltatre are fantastic partners in that. We also work with the European Tour on this [platform] for golf, as well as other sports across the world. It’s a very solid, slick workflow and we’re excited to be demoing it here because we’ve gotten a lot of interest. Everyone wants to make more content, faster, and at a lower price – always while keeping the quality up. And those are exactly the needs that Blackbird can fulfill. People are moving very much towards the cloud now to achieve that, which is very exciting because [Blackbird] is the only truly native cloud editor out there. Your company has been pushing cloud-based workflows from the beginning. So, as more and more M&E organizations now look to shift pieces of their production ecosystem to the cloud, do you believe the market is finally catching up to what Blackbird/Forbidden has been preaching all along? It’s very interesting. Being the only native cloud editor is sometimes a blessing and a curse. You’re out there banging the drum for cloud and waiting for the market to turn towards it. But the we are now at a tipping point, where the market is now approaching us to say, “we need to be in the cloud.” I’ve had very big broadcasters in the UK and U.S. telling me that they no longer want to be sending huge amounts of journalists and technical people to major sporting eve
Not really....the buyers are the ones that knows what is coming.....then you always have the sellers that bank some profits,(and who can blame them???....)
possibly a rumour was a lot of buys first thing now a lot of sells.
who knows not me.
Agree, but bare in mind the consolidation and the dilution,so it's a different story now....YET, the company never been is better shape than now and blackbird is a massive success,or should I say WOULD be a massive success....IMHO.
And the company is in much better shape with much better prospects now, than it was then.
Read the latest RNS's ,which the company reported,BUT open many links that our good regular poster FBT1 was kindly provided......enough said...
