Etere Scheduling boosts efficiency in managing long-term scheduling. The product's main features derive from the Etere Airsales experience (i.e. As Etere Airsales manages commercial advertising, Program Scheduling manages Serial TV copyrights). Etere Program Scheduling underlines the Strategic Editing aspects. It is an integrated solution to manage copyright contracts, serial metadata and clips at the same time. The schedule grid may be segmented in advance according to the planned future programs to broadcast, so that serials, promos and short events may be scheduled apart from the digital content (i.e. before handling actual clips to broadcast). Etere Scheduling allows operators to use a schedule grid to plan their own dynamic strategy over a virtual canvas in a shared environment. This grid allows operators to reduce error occurrences. A program sequence is pre-selected and automatically located, being careful to maintain a stable TV format. for instance, a typical grid can be made as follows:
• Station promo;
• Future programming promo;
• Commercial break;
• Station promo;
• Live announcement;
• Program 1st part:
• Station promo;
• Commercial break;
• Future programming promo;
• Program 2nd part. The scheduling composition starts from parts of the day, then continues with the program definition (e.g.: cartoons, movie, etc.) and ends with the schedule template. Schedule simulations are allowed at any time. The following properties must be set:
• Foreseen duration;
• Actual duration;
• Program details;
• Scheduled Day (e.g. Monday);
• Scheduled Time;
• Parts of the day Position. The well-organized playlist built-up by Etere Scheduling permits operators to easily ask the purchasing department for the kind of contents to schedule.
