Launch of FORscene HD

Posted: 10/09/2009

Forbidden Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of FORscene HD. This new functionality allows videos which have been edited within FORscene to be conformed automatically at anything up to 1080p – full High Definition (HD).

After editing high quality internet-ready video, FORscene uploads the full HD quality frames used in the finished programme into the Cloud. The special effects, colour correction and titles are combined at full resolution on a FORscene Cloud Server for download to a broadcaster, ready for transmission.

FORscene HD, which can also be used in Standard Definition (SD), provides multiple efficiency gains:

Greg Hirst, Business Development Director of Forbidden Technologies, said:

"FORscene HD extends Forbidden's remarkable FORscene video platform into the world of High Definition. FORscene can now provide a complete end-to-end HD solution, or be part of a more complex workflow.

We look forward to welcoming visitors to the Forbidden Stand at IBC2009."
