Blackbird is an optional third-party integration available with BLOX VMS for advanced cloud video editing. It provides frame-accurate, near real-time editing tools so teams can edit multiple videos from any location and publish clipped content without waiting for an entire newscast to finish airing. An associated Blackbird hardware option, a rack-mounted edge server, can capture SDI video on-site around the clock for editing in the cloud, with installation and support included.
