The company is also showing Multicam Edit, Forscene's up-to-18-camera multicam logging tool which has been developed to now include multicam ed- iting as well as its Dual System Audio, designed to facilitate the ingest of native rushes directly into Forscene. The platform now has the ability to sync sepa- rately-recorded video and audio original source files. "We're very happy to be joining our Spanish dealer, AvCast, at their first BITAM show," says Jason Cowan, business development direc- tor, Forbidden Technologies.
