Forbidden Technologies plc (AIM:FBT), the AIM quoted owner and developer of the market leading Cloud video platform, FORscene, is pleased to announce that deltatre, the global sports media services company, has licensed FORscene to be incorporated into the video production services it supplies to its clients.

This follows integration of FORscene into deltatre's digital platform and successful trials at previous events. deltatre's client portfolio covers a global range of the leading sports rights owning federations and broadcasters.

FORscene will enable clips to be cut from live streams, edited and published to the multiple platforms as near-live highlights and enable faster syndication of content to global broadcasters.

Jim Irving, Commercial Director, deltatre said:

"Working with FORscene on some of the biggest sporting events last year, I realised how well it could complement our service offering.  FORscene makes it easier and faster for our clients to create and publish high quality video."

Stephen Streater, CEO, Forbidden Technologies plc, said:

"I was impressed by deltatre's understanding of client needs in the global sports market where deal sizes are significantly larger than in Broadcast Post. This collaboration positions us well for further sales in this lucrative sector and for our strategy of growth by developing partnerships."
