Video editing platform specialist Blackbird has announced that it has signed a deal with CBS Sports Digital for cloud video production.
CBS Sports Digital, a division of ViacomCBS, will reportedly use Blackbird for “professional, collaborative and scalable cloud video editing and publishing of sports content”, with its editors able to access Blackbird through a web browser to edit live and file-based content.
In its announcement, Blackbird said that its platform will be deployed within CBS’ cloud infrastructure, which will “remove the need to travel to a facility and also eliminate the need to transit material to and from multiple local storage environments”.
Blackbird now works with a variety of brands in the sports, news, entertainment and enterprise sectors, including Tata Communications, EVS, BT, Univision, IMG, NHL, Eleven Sports, and Riot Games.
