ETERE RIGHTS MANAGEMENT

The integrated solution for managing the license rights and contract information.

Etere Rights Management is an integrated solution, available in the Etere BMS module, for managing the license rights and contract information. Through a centralized rights management module, Etere is able to cover all broadcasting operations including contract management, program finance and distribution licensing. The license rights are centrally managed to make it possible to validate on-air programming against licensing rights for multi-channel and multi-platform broadcasting.

Etere Rights Management features include expiry dates, license forms, multi-channel rights and restrictions, license pricing as well as allowed runs, days and formats. All these features permits Etere to make available for scheduling and transmission only those contents specifically licensed for on-air purposes. Using the Rights Management application included in Etere BMS, broadcasters can maximize the commercial value of their rights whilst ensuring that licensing terms and regulatory constraints are not violated.

Right Management allows having a real-time payment tracking of licensing rights, this by storing into the Etere's Database the information regarding rights payments (concerning purchased, sub-licensed, commissioned and produced programs) once a licensing contract is created.
