Blackbird UX/UI improvements
This latest release includes some speed and flexibility improvements for users to be able to perform quick publishes using a configurable button on the sequence player window.
Also on the ingest side, we now support extending of in progress recordings from the latest ingest UI.
The latest upgrade to the Blackbird platform is due to be released on 16th April 2024. This update will be made available during a maintenance window of 11:00-16:00 BST (6:00-11:00 EST) on the day.
Also as a reminder, in March we released other improvements and feature updates which are noted here
Blackbird Editor
New configurable quick publish button
This button can be configured with a custom name and publish action in order to provide fast preview ability or other workflow improvements for users to be able to review and export content faster than ever before.
New cache display bar
The video cache display now shows both download and decompression to assist with determining user performance within the editing interface.
Blackbird Ingest
Support for extending in progress recordings
The ingest jobs within the queue can now be edited to extend. This is particularly useful for sports and news where schedules may need to evolve with the action.
Security and Compliance work
Numerous updates to backend and Edge infrastructure for latest python3 and Angular for long term supportability.
