Yes I think so.

Meanwhile I see another notification has been issued🤔

Blackbird is perfect Video Technology for local news

[_m_k] 28/3/2018 16:28

i hope so, the staff at field59 will have a fair bit of experience of our technology and reference sites in the us will help with winning new business.

[nickb] 28/3/2018 16:07

I would expect our Blackbird technology to have a role in any expanded platform as a result of the acquisition.

[_m_k] 28/3/2018 15:40

usually the new owners will want to consolidate around their existing platforms / people

depends i guess on how much cash field59 makes and how much they depend on forscene

you never know though

[nickb] 28/3/2018 15:11

Interesting, might be good for us.

[geheimnis2] 28/3/2018 14:19

seems like there is still a pretty decent amount of buffoonery going on here

i wonder if it will be possible to get cowboy boots with the new blackbird logo on them - that would be quite something!

[nickb] 28/3/2018 13:50

They really should be promoting this pre NAB ie NOW!
IMHO

So rebranding of Forscene to Blackbird Forte

[nickb] 28/3/2018 13:44

Blackbird Ascent

Simple and intuitive easy-clip cloud editor with precision, frame accurate control enabling anybody to create sports, news and event highlights from live sources for time-critical delivery. Ascent uses Blackbird Edge to transcode your live and production sources at hyper-speed to the secure Blackbird codec for use on the Blackbird cloud platform.

sickness well spotted

“Blackbird Forte

Easy to use full-featured cloud editor enabling the leading-edge content creation, including an Emmy nominated workflow with closed captioning for sports, news and event highlights as well as post-production for time-critical delivery. Blackbird Edge transcodes your live and production sources at hyper-speed to the secure Blackbird codec for use on the Blackbird cloud platform.”

Hopefully the @blackbird website launch is in the next few days to give it a week to make an impact prior to NAB (7th April) and to sort out any potential glitches.

Some technology advances or upgrades would be welcome.

I would like a section (blog)on the website that could (next to live) stream events from the show that highlight the strengths of the tech.

There is also no reason a first quarter 'operational highlights' couldn't be produced (prior to the 7th) that shows all the contract wins/contract extensions, Emmy nominations, any tech advances and new appointments and double digit revenue growth.
GL and IMHO

[sickness] 28/3/2018 13:36

Looks like they are offering Blackbird into two packages, blackbird ascent and blackbird forte. Two new posters on the nab site.

Sorry for the confusion

[bonio10000] 28/3/2018 09:06

I assume the NON-RNS was due to a new sector in a new market.

We previously had an education agreement in the UK, but no education announcements for North America.

Same way Gogglebox Iran was announced as a new market.

NickB,

You were the one telling Aimster it's not public. Fine if it's not happening.

[nick2412] 28/3/2018 00:00

Cab1 interesting point, if a fund raising was imminent surely I.M wouldn't buy a relatively small number of shares. Such action might risk suckering in retail buyers and inflate the share price and I couldn't see any CEO being so cynical if he or she knew a discounted funding was imminent. That would be akin to a Company suggesting that share purchases were made solely from a CEO's own resources when the reality is that the costs equated to, at the time, undeclared Company bonuses. That would never happen.

[nickb] 27/3/2018 22:56

Hoping for a breakthrough announcement around NAB so anytime within the next 2 weeks.

Got the new Blackbird website and branding to check out soon.

What fundraising? Not sure there is one and shareholders are not up for it since we have seen no benefits from the last two!

You could register your interest with FBT broker I guess.

[cabi1] 27/3/2018 22:45

What fundraising? Surely if a fundraising was imminent Ian wouldn’t have bothered buying more shares the other day, and they would have held off on his options. I think they will wait to see how things develop over next few months, before deciding on another placing. They could finally strike a few big deals worth a few quid, and share price might be much higher.

We are not buying Bridge Digital


We do need to buy Time ...😂
