could it be cowboy boots and caviar in 2020?

But that won’t make Blackbird an industry standard.

I want to see who the OEM’s are and their clients etc.

Interesting times for sure.

Why couldn't McChief say Bloomberg in the vox podcast. It's no secret

[cabi1] 29/1/2020 13:37

Bonio. Of course.

[bonio10000] 29/1/2020 13:18

Is it worthy of a post?

"27th January 2020
Blackbird has joined SVG Europe as a Gold Sponsor and is looking forward to becoming an active feature of the association’s events throughout 2020.

The company is a cloud-native provider of production and delivery tools. The Blackbird cloud video platform looks to change the way people work with digital video, maximising the value of video assets, and creating increased monetisation.

Blackbird CEO, Ian McDonough, said: “We’re very excited to join SVG Europe as a Gold Sponsor. SVG Europe is a fantastic community of sports professionals dedicated to the creation, production and distribution of the best possible sports content and we can’t wait to make new friends and partnerships during this tremendously exciting time for the industry.

He went on: “The Blackbird team will be very active at SVG Europe events this year. We very much welcome teams, leagues, federations, broadcasters, rights holders and other technology providers to contact us any time to see how we can work together.”

“Simply put, Blackbird enables our customers to clip or edit video, from live or file-based content to a professional standard, all in a browser. By professional we mean a feature-rich toolset publishing at industry-leading speed after live. The browser aspect means we are cloud-native and highly efficient from both an OPEX and CAPEX perspective.

“We are cloud-agnostic and can be used standalone as we are with MSG Networks and Eleven Sports, or interoperable as part of our customer’s solutions as we do with IMG or Deltatre. These leaders in innovation and tech use Blackbird to create and publish video content rapidly from live to online, driving awareness, engagement and monetisation for a whole range of sports. Built on our own patented technologies, our clients all say the same thing; that Blackbird can do things that they didn’t think were previously possible,” he concluded.

Blackbird brings workstation responsiveness and richness together with all the advantages of the cloud for collaborative work for video professionals and teams, across the world."

thx for posting that list cabi1

Frameio doesn’t video edit it’s a plug in to traditional edit software to help with collaboration/review.

Never heard of IIUC What’s that?

[gnnmartin] 29/1/2020 12:23

Intriguing, cab|1. I see Forescene are mentioned as well as Blackbird. I assume we are not marketing both. Frame.io comes top by a whisker, but with only one voter. IIUC it gets adulation for its tools for community editing, rather than for speed of editing. Probably mostly aimed at creating low budget films, advertising videos, etc, where final content is all important, and speed of creation not critical.

I've no idea how important this listing is, but my guess is 'not very'.

Don't reappoint Main and use his salary.

Done.

[cabi1] 29/1/2020 11:43

Bonio. Support staff. They are currently advertising at the moment.

[bonio10000] 29/1/2020 11:19

Which is the dichotomy between the interview and being told we need money for more sales staff.

[chriscallen] 29/1/2020 11:16

I listened to the interview and the key point he made was that the wins so far are good but they are to interim customers. The focus now is on OEMs which he defined as Cloud providers and Telcos who will sell BIRD as part of their products - he said that the analogy was that up to now they had been running a fleet of taxis in London whereas BIRD wanted to be integrated into the car manufacture. So the strategy continues to be to get the interim customers to buy it from the likes of Amazon, Microsoft and Google as part of the package.

The OEM strategy limits the need to employ sales and marketing people and all of the support costs such as travel and exhibition attendance.

So results and then NAB announcements from mid Mar to mid Apr

[nickb] 29/1/2020 11:09

NAB 2020 show starts April 18th so we will have those OEM companies names by then.

[nickb] 29/1/2020 11:04

Geh
That’s a great idea

[flashheart] 29/1/2020 10:59

Not sure the BIRD will exist by then. Bought out before imo.
