EASY DISTRIBUTION PROCESS

SITE MANAGEMENT
  • Sites are managed by KeyMaster on very high level: screens are part of a geographical location, linked to a main account, like a cinema circuit.
  • Screen information includes DCI server and projector details, screen size, sound system and much more.
  • Supported screen certificates are MPEG, Interop and SMPTE.
  • The time zone management per Location allows worldwide distribution.
  • A Contacts directory allows to immediately reach the person in charge of a particular location for a commercial question or a technical issue
CONTENT MANAGEMENT
  • KeyMaster manages content and content owners under the Movies registry.
  • A Movie holds all the DKDMs (Distribution KDM) available for each version of a content (composition).
  • Each DKDM displays important information like subtitles, resolution, audio type for an easy organization.
DISTRIBUTION LISTS
  • KeyMaster allows the creation and multiple use of lists for distribution purposes.
  • New distribution lists can be created for every new content release, or re-used and modified in the case of yearly contracts.
