At BVE 2015

Forscene Commercial Manager

A

t BVE 2015, Forbidden will feature
the new and greatly improved
Forscene cloud-based video postproduction platform Forscene, which
was unveiled at IBC2014 and went live
in December.
The
new
Forscene
interface
combines professionally designed
graphics with an elegant colour
scheme and updated functionality to
provide an efficient and enjoyable user
experience.
Forbidden is also giving Forscene
a new infusion of functionality by
adding a Media Asset Management
(MAM) system. Through the Forscene
MAM, users will have the full potential
of the platform - from acquisition to
publishing - at their fingertips.

Other new Forscene features
include: the ability to publish with
burnt-in timecode or other metadata;
expanded multicam logging to support
up to 18 cameras simultaneously; and
increased support for different formats
that enables functions such as editing
MXF files during ingest.
Speaking Events At BVE 2015
Jason Cowan, Forscene Commercial
Manager at Forbidden Technologies,
will participate in a session and
present a case study during BVE 2015.

Cowan will present a case study:
Finding, On-boarding, and Managing
Resellers and Distributors.

New range
of EVS XS Servers

the new EXPORT feature from IPLink
for Adobe and the support of growing
files in FCP-X. As a result, editors

environment for playout.
Multimedia distribution platform
C-Cast technology extends the live
content experience beyond the TV
screen by providing content owners,
rights holders and broadcasters with
the ability to reach and engage more
diverse audiences with high-quality
and targeted content as the event
unfolds.
C-Cast connects on-site production
infrastructure to a cloud-based
platform, allowing the aggregation
of multi-angle video and statistics for

instant delivery to any platform. This
provides an enriched, personalised and
exclusive live sports experience.
Truck Manager is a new software
application that detects all EVS devices
in an OB van and enables the engineer
to configure them from a laptop to
meet the needs of the production.
Once complete, settings are stored and
can be recalled at any time, facilitating
the setup for subsequent production
teams.
Billed as a 'Next Generation Vision
Mixer' DYVI offers the next generation
of vision mixer technology to the
broadcast industry.
This IT-based live production
platform gives directors full control
of all key switcher functionalities no
matter where they are located.

In a topic that is very important
to many B2B organisations, this
case study will focus on how to find,
develop, and cultivate successful
partnerships with resellers and
distributors abroad.
On Thursday, February 26, from
2:10pm to 2:55pm in the Post
Production Theatre, Cowan will
participate in a panel discussion: The
Sky's the Limit - Getting Ahead in the
Cloud to See the Potential Value of
Remote Editing.
During this session Cowan, along
with other industry professionals,
will explore the fresh perspectives
of remote editing possibilities and
collaboration opportunities for post,
discuss the bandwidth requirements
for remote editing, and look at

innovative ways to create and transfer
content. The session will conclude by
suggesting best practices in blending
on-premise systems and the cloud
to save time and enable exceptional
creativity.
Forbidden delivers high-performance
cloud video services for media makers
and broadcasters.
Its flagship product, Forscene,
