Full set of features

Umbrella licencing deals

  • Add content to licencing deals using Excel Avails files.
  • Search licencing deals: filter by platforms, licensors, business models, devices, territories and more.
  • Configure custom metadata at deal level: e.g.: licensor's contact details.

Flexible rights dimensions

  • Typical dimensions include: business models (AVOD/TVOD/SVOD/EST), territories, devices, etc. Record multiple sets of rights for the same content E.g.: "SVOD rights for US in 2019" and "TVOD rights for UK in 2020"
  • Record rights at title or series level.
  • Limit rights to certain episodes of a series: E.g.: for the pilot episode of a series.
  • Define blackouts (negative rights): date windows when the content cannot be scheduled on specific platforms, territories, business models, etc.
  • Define target platforms flexibly: either by selecting individual platforms or indirectly, through configurable rights dimensions: "applies to all SVOD platforms in the UK".
  • Define licence windows with fixed start/end dates and/or relative to linear transmission times.
  • Define catch-up rights (rights applying before or after a linear transmission happens). E.g.: online exclusive one day before linear transmission.
  • Configure catch-up rights for specific linear channels.
  • Support for costed runs and reruns in VOD rules, catch-up rights, and catch-up deals.
  • Catch-up rights for specific transmission repeats. E.g.: "use the 3rd linear TX within this date range as reference".
  • Record comments alongside rights.
  • Define specific clearances for individual episodes. E.g.: seek clearance of music rights separately.
  • Define exploitation limits: maximum and minimum number of days the content can be exploited within the overall rights window.
  • Define parity restriction: whether the content should be scheduled with the same dates on all the platforms the rights apply to.
  • Define utility limits: maximum number of episodes of a series that can be online at the same time.
  • Define repeats restrictions: Whether episodes can be repeated before the whole series has been scheduled.
  • Define rerun limits: maximum number of allowed reruns per title on the same platform.
  • Define rights exploitation limits per schedule window.
  • Schedule content without rights, before rights have been secured.
  • Clearly identify entries in VOD schedules not complying with recorded rights.

Powerful search and filtering

  • Filter VOD schedules by rights status: cleared, in conflict, clearance pending, no rights. E.g.: "Show me all Warner Bros titles with rights in conflict, scheduled for Spain in 2018".
  • Rights availability reports: e.g.: "what content do I have rights for, to schedule on SVOD services in the UK in January 2018?"
  • Rights exploitation reports: e.g.: "how much of the available rights of specific content have I exploited?"
  • Manage segments/cue points in assets/versions. Segments are defined specifying start–end timecodes in the 00:00:00.000 format.
