Blackbird PLC (AIM:BIRD, OTCQX:BBRDF) said its video-editing and publishing technology has been chosen by Eurovision Sport for a multi-year deal.
The browser-based editing system will be used to enable the Eurovision Sport editorial team and European Broadcasting Union members to access immediately multiple live streams, seconds behind live, from any location.
“Not only can users perform fast, collaborative clipping in Blackbird, but they can also take advantage of a multi-track non-linear editor with a professional toolset, creating high-quality content that would be impossible with any other video editing technology,” Blackbird said.
“Content can be rapidly published to media partners and multiple digital endpoints including social, web and OTT platforms for viewers to enjoy.”
Eurovision Sport - a division of the European Broadcasting Union - manages the media rights for 17 sports on behalf of its public service media members, delivering up to 30,000 hours of sport a year through agreements with international sports federations, including European athletics and swimming championships.
No financial details for the collaboration were given.
