Blackbird Share Discussion Threads

So coming up to 4 year anniversary.

Will be interesting to see whether it is renewed.

If EVS was a 5 year deal, I believe the large financial media company was a 5 year deal as well, then you would think 4-5 years would apply to TATA too.

Yes Via Map.1.0
Looks good but revenue for us will be sometime away I would think.

Hyper - they hinted at it and why the relationship never really developed sometime ago.

My reading is that other than the initial deployments both parties reached an impasse and moved on.

[nickb] 20/6/2024 09:43

Yes not now a good idea to licence our ip.

We are safe with EVS

The route to the M&E space will be via elevate ‘enterprise217; tier as that becomes feature rich and people write plug-ins for M&E workflows.

elevate platform is a simple buy in /set up no 2 months of engineering consultants
(Covered in the AGM)

M&E could be a big customer of elevate since a lot of M&E content gets re edited and pushed to social.

Bonio I bet it’s the new EVS platform IM was talking about which incorporates Blackbird.

"But they did suggest with TATA that the degree of access and control over the IP was an issue."

When did they mention this?

[bonio10000] 20/6/2024 09:35

0.35 - 0.50

I assume this is us - or the timing is very coincidental.

The launch of VIA MAP represents a significant step in this journey, offering users a unified and cohesive platform that seamlessly connects every stage of your content journey, from production to distribution.

The patents are already in the public domain. So I assume anyone could theoretically replicate them, but obviously for commercial use that would be illegal. It would also be very difficult without the knowledge of the creator.

[bonio10000] 20/6/2024 09:27

I would go 75% that nobody wants it.

I don't have confidence that 30 to 40 deals was ever a thing.

But they did suggest with TATA that the degree of access and control over the IP was an issue.

Given, in the scheme of things, EVS is a rounding error of a deal - I wonder if they looked at the risk/reward and just thought that it wasn't worth the risk for, say, £500k p.a. when the rewards for Elevate are multiples higher.

[cabi1] 20/6/2024 09:22

That’s a good point Bonio around licensing our IP

Don’t want a competitor getting it, and replicating elevate.

[richard188] 20/6/2024 09:21

Nonsense . Allenby are doing a good job in the circumstances . The real problem is Blackbird who have spent the last 25 years promising a lot and delivering nothing - apart from endless share placings . Investors are fed up with companies like this . The longer they take to bring Elevate to fruition the more other companies will bring to market a similar or better product - and probably cheaper . They will also find it very difficult to attract good staff who will look at the track record and share price and conclude that they might not have a job for long !

[bonio10000] 20/6/2024 09:17

50% agree

PBB is dead (my theory is they pulled it as they want to keep the IP for Elevate and it is too risky to let larger third parties have access - but I may be delving into too much 4D chess there).

Enterprise is dead.

But in the next month we now know we have pro-tools launch for Elevate, which should be a big deal, and EVS launching their product.

But I agree that there won't be any large deals announced, outside of indirectly through EVS or maybe Blox, that seems clear.

[cabi1] 20/6/2024 09:12

So basically there’s nothing to see here until Q1 2025.

Enterprise is dead, and doesn’t sound like AVID are coming back to the table for a PBB deal, and there’s nothing in the pipeline.

Only thing of interest will be any updates, and new functionality in elevate.io, which hopefully NickB can keep us updated on.

I doubt there will much buying interest to drive share price up now, until we get some hard evidence people are willing to pay for elevate.

Plus we have the threat of Miton selling more, and another fund raise, which at current levels will be a massive dilution.

Fvcking great.

Yes it did sound pretty offensive considering the effort and support over many years by so many here.

[sideshowbull] 19/6/2024 22:47

Rubbish They are useless.

Every time I meet them I am like WTF seriously.

My best one was the 7p placing chat or any placing chat.. mind boggling.

Was hoping BOD woud wake up?

Well that is a no

BB Warrior in the house!

Ian seems to rate Amrit for helping

Maybe this is something for Anne de Kerckhove our new chair to look at.

I disagree It's not the broker that is poor its the management here.Even my favourite DCF model from Simply Wall Street has a valuation of N/A.
