Session Details: SMPTE 2020

This session discusses a new novel Just-in-Time supply chain approach for streaming and servicing film and TV catalogs direct from their source assets for sales, licensing, and ticketed direct exhibition. The approach has been recently used to stream private global exhibitions of films such as Bill & Ted Face the Music and Wolf of Snow Hollow in 4K/HD to browser, smartTV and mobile platforms with individualized secure watermarking, DRM and secure individual tickets, direct from source asset with no intermediaries via a new platform. Neither cloud nor CDN, the Eluvio Content Fabric platform allows content providers to manage and distribute video content directly from source as on-demand streaming, live streaming, and dynamic sequences, and without the use of any separate transcoding service, content distribution service, or aggregation service, and without creating file copies. An embedded blockchain ledger, contract-backed content, and just in time composition of media and metadata enable personalization, rights control and monetization of the content.
