Blackbird (formerly "Firebird") is a proprietary video codec developed by Forbidden Technologies and used by their flagship product, Forscene.
Blackbird is designed for both editing and video streaming over variable speed internet connections. Blackbird can provide consistent picture quality on slow connections by varying the frame rate through the use of tokens. The tokens represent each source image which are scaled versions of each source image.
History
Stephen Streater is the principle progenitor of the Blackbird video codec, which was released in 2004.
On 22 January 2017, Forbidden technologies released the Blackbird 9 codec.
