RTL Technology has a large catalogue of items and acquires/produces new materials at a high rate. RTL runs several own VOD platforms, and licenses/supplies content to third-party platforms and channels. x-dream-group, in partnership with Flow Works, built a system that automates the processing of new/existing items from ingest to delivery to a growing number of VOD targets. 

RTL now has a highly automated processing workflow covering all steps: ingest, metadata acquisition & matching, transcoding, QC, editorial control & augmentation, transfers (in & out), and publishing (internal & external). RTL now has a highly flexible system allowing for full creation, building, editing and monitoring of workflows.
