FORscene will then prepare the edited videos for export at HD resolution, with the finished videos being distributed through third party websites for viewing across several continents.

"FORscene's scaleability and ability to edit content as it arrives in real time are well suited to sport," said Chief Executive Stephen Streater.
"These applications demonstrate FORscene's exceptional capabilities in a major sports project."
