Deliver is made to monetize your content via 3rd party platforms.

DELIVER aggregates media essence files (video, audio, subtitles, pictures) and
metadata (short and long description, structural data, rights, pricing, etc.)
to become an asset package that is complete for publishing or playout.

The delivery can happen either immediately or upon request to generic targets or known players according to their specifications.

DELIVER consists of the x-dream-Fabrik modules Upload, Archive and Deliver. It can be combined with all source modules like Record, Ingest, File Exchange, with the post-production product PRODUCE and with the output products like PUBLISH and PLAYOUT.

Deliver - Empowering you to manage and deliver your content. Always. Anywhere.

DELIVER manages and automates the monetization of your ARCHIVE content. This can include individual media assets and series, seasons and episodes. Firstly, the delivery job is set up, which means defining the technical delivery target and the requested essences and metadata to be delivered. Practically, this means selecting the languages to be delivered from the archive to the 3rd party system. Afterwards, content is simply taken from the archive via drag&drop. An automatiion selects the right essence files and metadata to be packaged. Missing essences or metadata are flagged and requested for manual AI-supported case handling.

For complex content, like series or sports, assets are organized in a three-level hierarchy, enabling large-scale packaging with a single action. Various essences – video, audio, subtitles, pictures – along with descriptive, business, and technical metadata, are automatically processed and delivered. Control data ensures precise scheduling for publishing and unpublishing.

  • NESTED CONTENT

For series with or without seasons or content from sports, news, etc. the assets can be organized in a three-level hierarchy. More levels can be provided on special request. This allows packaging of larger content structures with just one drag&drop action.

  • VIDEO ESSENCES

Besides the original = master asset any derived editorial version such as director's cut, trailer, or technical versions such as streaming renditions can be delivered.

  • AUDIO ESSENCES

Language versions, sound tracks, dialogue tracks can be delivered as separate audio essence files along with the video master file as part of the package.

  • SUBTITLE ESSENCES

The subtitles in various languages can be delivered as separate subtitle essence files along with the video master file as part of the package.

  • PICTURE ESSENCES

Various artwork such as, for instance, cover picture, series picture, season picture, episode picture, chapter picture, scrubber board, etc. can be automatically reformed and delivered as part of the package.

  • DESCRIPTIVE METADATA

Various structured metadata like title, genre, categories, subcategories, creation year, release date, age rating, etc. and also unstructured metadata like synopsis, description, directors, actors, filming locations, etc. can be transformed and delivered as part of the package.

  • BUSINESS METADATA

To automate cross-media publishing at the target platforms, business data e.g. publishing target platforms, content usage rights, business models, pricing, etc. can be delivered as part of the package.

  • TECHNICAL METADATA

Technical metadata relates to the individual essence files and describes the technical parameters of each individual file, e.g. format, codec, resolution, frame rate, frame mode, bitrates, sampling rates, bit depth, etc. It can be delivered as well.

  • CONTROL DATA

The control data, e.g. approval, date and time for an automatic publishing / unpublishing, is finally deciding about the publishing and unpublishing to end-customers.
