[{"type":"text","content":"\n RNS Number : 8076R Forbidden Technologies PLC 31 August 2010 \n \n\n31 August 2010\n \n \nForbidden Technologies plc\n \n(\"Forbidden\" or the \"Company\")\n \nFORscene to output HTML5\n \nForbidden Technologies, the AIM quoted developer of the market leading Cloud video platform FORscene,is pleased to announce the addition of another industry standard, HTML5 video publishing, to FORscene. Video published in FORscene can be viewed through any device with a compliant web browser, for example Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, iPad, iPhone, Android and Nokia smartphones.\n \nHTML is the standard for structuring and presenting content on the Web and HTML5 is its next major revision. HTML5 is the first HTML version to support video playback without a third party plug-in such as Adobe Flash.\n \nWithout HTML5, there is no effective video format which works on all web pages and all desktop and high end mobile devices. Even devices such as the Apple iPad and iPhone, which do not have Java or Flash plug-ins, can still play back videos through their HTML5 compliant browsers.\n \nHTML5 publishing is ideally suited for professional web video clients, as HTML5 is expected to be rolled out across every major browser over time. FORscene supports multiple publishing formats, including MPEG and its proprietary Java codec.\n \nPublishing HTML5 in FORscene is simple: users drag a video icon onto the HTML5 publishing button. The published videos are automatically hosted by the FORscene video platform.\n \nFor those with older browsers that don't yet support HTML5, Forbidden's HTML5 player automatically falls back to its proprietary Java web player.\n \nStephen Streater, CEO, Forbidden Technologies, said:\n\"The addition of HTML5 publishing to FORscene is an example of our policy to incorporate the latest global technical advancements. FORscene is an outstanding post-production platform. HTML5 increases FORscene's relevance as a publishing platform in its major markets.\"\n \n \n-Ends-\n \n \nFor further information please visit www.forbidden.co.uk or contact:\n \nForbidden Technologies plc\nTel: +44 (0)20 8879 7245\nPete Burns\n \nBishopsgate Communications &nbs...
