Available through a web browser, FORscene will be available to repurpose both material for broadcast pieces and website videos during and after the exhibition. \n\nA FORscene Server based in Amsterdam will provide immediate access to upload and edit material shot on JVC's GY-HM100 and GY-HM700 cameras used by the IBC TV News teams. Additional video contributions from participating broadcasters and IBC visitors will be uploaded under editorial control creating a library of material including rushes and delivered daily programmes.\n\nBuilt-in moderation tools through a range of access levels enable users to search metadata attached to material. FORscene's editing tools support repurposed material as required for broadcast. Once complete, FORscene's auto-conform process will provide a high-resolution DV or MPEG-2 file to be used in final broadcast pieces or to deliver news to exhibitors' websites.\n \nStephen Streater, CEO of Forbidden Technologies, said: \n \n'FORscene has been providing professional post-production services through the web for over 5 years. We are looking forward to helping IBC TV News to use the speed and flexibility of web-based syndication and repurposing to secure the maximum coverage for IBC2009 and all its participants.'\n \nIBC 2009 runs from the 11th to the 15th of September.
