Forbidden Reveals IBC Forscene Updates

Forbidden is to unveil a new range of Forscene developments at this year's IBC show in Amsterdam.

• New Forscene user interface look and feel (fall 2014)
• High-res codec enables dynamic display of high or low res proxy
• iOS and Android Forscene apps
• New publishing framework
• Media asset management (MAM) system (in beta)
• Movement of original source from one Forscene box to another
• New documentation for supported camera and ingest formats.

Forscene has again been selected by IBC TV, the official broadcaster for IBC2014, to provide its self-service syndication workflow. A Forscene server based at the RAI conference center will compress and upload material shot by the IBC TV teams during the exhibition.
Participating broadcasters and IBC exhibitors will be given access to library content including rushes and daily program footage. Newly released is 24-hour coverage that will be available year-round to subscribing exhibitors and news outlets.
Stephen Streater, CEO of Forbidden Technologies, along with Donna Mulvey-Jones, head of post-production and facilities for Maverick TV, will co-present at the IBC Content Everywhere Cloud Solutions Pavilion in Hall 3.
Camera to Cloud: Cut Out the Delay Between Shoot and Post will demonstrate how a cloud workflow, in which footage is uploaded directly from the camera into the Forscene cloud, helps bridge the gap between acquisition and post-production. The session is scheduled for Sunday 14 September at 14:00.
Forbidden CEO Stephen Streater along with Paul Wilkes, technical director at Halo and Portland Post, will co-present at the IBC Content Everywhere Workflow Solutions Pavilion in Hall 9. Expanding the Use of Cloud to Create More Efficient File-Based Workflows will discuss how Forbidden and Platform Post designed and implemented a cloud-based archival workflow for the BBC that capitalises on the savings (both in time and money) that can be made by synchronising projects' post-production and archiving processes in the Forscene cloud. The session will be on Monday 15 September at 12:30.
"With our new brand identity, new collaborations, and new features, we are thrilled to again be meeting with our friends, partners, and customers at IBC," said Greg Hirst, Business Development Director, Forbidden Technologies. "The cloud has gone from buzzword to workflow reality, and Forscene is poised to help content creators be creative in the smartest and most economical way possible."
