Ateliere Connect is a fully cloud-native platform for content servicing that centralizes geographically-distributed workflows, allowing content owners full control and visibility. It’s designed to operate natively in the cloud to scale up and down automatically depending on volumes and urgency. With Connect, content owners can efficiently manage and store assets, create versions, and deliver content to countless broadcast endpoints from one unified platform. Our proprietary parallel-scaling technology, made possible by the cloud, enables efficient and high-quality production workflows.

Connect is fully provisioned to manage workflows for over 100 platforms, which means every step can be handled within our platform, from ingest to delivery. End-to-end supply chain workflows can be completely automated with AI-driven microservices within Connect.

FrameDNA™ is an AI image recognition tool within Connect that scans multiple versions of content, identifies the frames that are similar and different, and automatically deduplicates the versions, allowing users to consolidate multiple versions into lightweight, nimble IMF packages. By running their content libraries through FrameDNA, companies have been able to reduce their overall storage footprints by an average of 70%. In addition, their titles are now ready to be rendered out in any localized or conformed version quickly and efficiently for global distribution to any platform endpoint.

FrameDNA works in tandem with Deep Analysis, a media probing tool within Connect that rapidly analyzes video files, identifies various elements, including scene changes, color bars, blacks, texted scenes, slates, and essences, and displays them on a graphical timeline view without the user having to watch the file back. For a 54-minute 2K HD ProRes show, this process happens in about 10 mins--that's a time savings of 80%. Deep Analysis can also detect when subtitles overlap with on-screen text. The push to bring legacy libraries into global streaming services requires language/caption support in 26+ versions. All major streaming services immediately reject a show if there’s an issue with caption/texted scene overlap. The quality assurance task once only performed by humans is now fully automated with Deep Analysis. It can detect instances of timed text/texted scene overlap with around 40% more accuracy and 80% faster than manual QC methods.

Connect affords studios and post houses maximum flexibility under their control. Companies can choose the model that works for them--SaaS or PaaS-- and use our modular framework to select only the components of the platform that they need. They don't have to build an entirely new supply chain from scratch to take advantage of the benefits. Connect seamlessly integrates with existing partners and systems via a fully accessible API.

Ateliere Discover is a powerful white-label OTT service designed to help companies create their own branded iOS, Android, and Web applications in a fast and reliable way. Discover is entirely cloud-based, which maximizes efficiency and flexibility while minimizing costs. Content available on branded applications built with Discover has the power to reach millions of users worldwide.

Discover helps content owners better leverage their content libraries to reach wider audiences, increase profit, and lead programming and marketing decisions based on robust analytics. Our rich CMS allows users to easily create new media as well as organize and manage their content. Discover’s “WordPress-like” interface allows users to customize the content available and its arrangement on the screen, content metadata, and the app layout. App analytics allow users to retain customers better and longer with notification scheduling (push and in-app), reminding them to re-engage with the content they love. With Discover, all your video assets are in one place, so you can group, customize, and deliver your content in a matter of minutes.

The platform comes equipped with DRM, allowing companies to publish in different regions and have certain language localizations available in specified licensing windows. There are multiple monetization models for companies to choose from--AVOD, SVOD, TVOD, or a combination of the three. With Discover, companies are empowered to eliminate the middlemen, connect directly with their viewers, and receive all the revenue. Out of the box, Discover comes seamlessly integrated with Ateliere Connect™, the content servicing and supply chain platform in the cloud. Companies can use Connect-generated content to seamlessly deliver camera-to-consumer content, thereby doubling the benefits of leveraging Discover on its own.

Discover is unique in that it was originally built as a B2C white-label OTT platform. From its conception, a focus on delivering a premium user experience with a rich CMS was the driving force throughout the development of Discover. It’s the only product that will be on the market that provides a premium B2C experience for B2B use in streamlining the end-to-end content buying and delivery workflow.

With Rights Out, MEDIAGENIX extends rights management to content distribution and licensing. Integrated with WHATS’ON this cloud-native solution completes your overview on the consumption of rights across scheduling and sales. Rights Out cuts through the complexity and pitfalls of selling rights, eliminates time consuming chores, and leaves more time to optimise a key revenue stream.

Rights Out supports the complete sales workflow, enabling your commercial department or distribution unit to

• manage a catalogue of saleable rights;


• ensure that rights can be shared across scheduling and sales departments;


• make a proposal to the market, or at request of a potential customer, and define clearly the licensed rights, conditions, pricing;


• be warned about conflicts with your own exploitation right and the already sold rights;


• process the actions to be performed in order to conclude a deal: clearing rights with actors, archives, rights owners;


• finalize the deal via a deal memo document that will officialise the agreement;


• manage the costs and revenue distribution to the various parties involved.

The sales catalogue lists the titles that can be sold as well as the distribution rights, which describe where, when and how these titles can be sold.

Supporting offers and deals

Offers and Deals in Rights Out support the sales workflow with (potential) buyers. Additional information about the proposal will be stored according as the offer converts into a deal. Throughout this entire workflow the licence rights capture the rights information you are selling to the buyer. On the licence right you will, for instance, specify that the deal concerns a TVOD right in Australia for three months, in English, for 10,000 euros and that the buyer has exclusive rights within the first month.

Rights Out also supports the sales of holdbacks, which grant additional exclusivity to the buyer.

Keeping track of tasks

In order to finalise the deal, additional clearing for a music piece might be needed, or additional subtitles need to be produced. You can keep track of all this work to avoid that the deal is jeopardized because crucial steps have been skipped.

Suppliers, Rights Holders and Revenue Distribution further help to ensure that the negotiated price covers all of the costs and fees of a proposal to a customer.

Scheduling and distribution in perfect synch

Once the deal with the customer is finalised, the rights information will impact the scheduling department, which might have to reschedule your top-running show, because it has been sold exclusively. All of this information is synchronised seamlessly between both systems and both the scheduling and distribution departments will be kept up to date of any upcoming changes.

Dashboards in Rights Out can help to ensure that deadlines are met or help to better understand which titles are most profitable.

Cutting through complexity and eliminating time consuming and error-prone chores, you will find more time to close more deals with optimum efficiency.
