Movida provides a complete solution for managing catch-up
and Video On-Demand services. It enables you to manage the
editorial side of your Video On-Demand business across
multiple platforms, devices, business models and countries.
Movida allows your teams to be more productive: more titles can be distributed to more platforms, with speed and quality.
Movida is a complete and web-based scheduling
solution for Video On-Demand services. It enables
you to manage the editorial side of your
on-demand business across multiple platforms,
devices, business models and countries. You and
your team just need to upload your content
catalog, optionally record rights and Movida will
help you schedule accordingly in all of your
platforms.
Movida means not having to worry about things
outside of your control; it means knowing at all
times whether you are scheduling all your content
correctly or not; knowing that everyone else on
the team will have access to the same exact
information and will work in unison without
having to rely on emails or Excel documents; that
all downstream operations and teams will be
driven by this very same information, because it
has all been put together through a single and
easy to use web application that sits at the heart
of your Video On-Demand world.
Setting a Movida account up involves configuring
the platforms where the content will be
scheduled, which often coincide with the
platforms you are distributing or publishing
content to.
These platforms are “rights-aware” and carry a set
of Scheduling Requirements, or to put it
differently, the Rights requirements that content
must meet in order for you to be able to schedule
it on a given platform. For instance, you might
want to schedule content on "iTunes" in the UK;
the requirements for that platform could be that
any content scheduled on it must have rights for
the UK territory, for the "Download To Own"
business model and for the "PC" and "Mobile"
devices. Any piece of content that does not have
at least that combination of rights in the system
will not appear as "Rights cleared" in that
platform's schedule.

All platform requirements are fully configurable per account
A clear and rights-aware schedule is the output of Movida
In order to help put together a schedule, Movida
needs titles! And it provides a great place to store
them: a comprehensive Title Catalog that sits at
the very heart of Movida.
Sometimes you will just have a small number of
titles or series to work with, or simply want to
start scheduling as soon as possible; in those
cases, creating the titles directly in Movida is the
most efficient way of going about it.
As part of the creation process, you can specify
the title, an optional External ID if you use your
own identifiers, who you are licensing the
content from, add thumbnails to quickly identify
it, classify it with tags for enhanced filtering
capabilities and, if what you are creating is a
series, you'll be able to create its episodes quickly
on the spot.
Although our world domination plan involves
getting everyone in media to stop using Excel for
Video On-Demand management, we know that
our customers often receive their content or avails
lists in Excel. If that is your case, or if you have
most of the information about your titles in
advance (e.g. metadata or scheduling information)
and wish to upload it all at once, your might want
to try our mighty import process.
Simply filling in the sample Excel document we
provide, selecting it from our import page and hitting
the import button will do the trick. You can safely
browse away while it is being imported and, for long
running imports, get notified once it finishes.
Create Series and its Episodes easily from the same form
Once the import is done, each piece of content
can be accessed individually. Each Brand, Series or
Title has its own page in Movida that gathers all
its information in a single place and provides
quick access to anything related to that particular
piece of content, because in order to better take
decisions, a scheduler needs to be able to know
everything about a piece of content, and more so
when working in a team environment.

Start withthe content
Title Catalog’s landing page provides easy access to all content
The Activity page provides a comprehensive audit trail
“Did we schedule Mad Men on this or that
platform?”, “Who deleted these images?” All of
these questions and more can be answered
through the sections of a content page:
• The Activity page, an exhaustive audit trail
where every single event in the history of that
piece of content is recorded.
• The Edit Information page, where all the basic
information can be edited or where a nice
thumbnail can be assigned to it.
• The Rights, Scheduling sections.
• The Assets, Images and Metadata information
(covered in depth as part of our Metadata
Brochure).
Some users want to be able to schedule content
well in advance without knowing whether they
will have the Rights for it; some other only
schedule content once they are positive they have
Rights for it. Movida supports both approaches
and it will always display what the Rights status
is for any given piece of content on the schedule
(No rights info, Rights Cleared, In conflict, etc...)
In the Rights section of a Series or Feature, you
can either record Rights, record Blackouts or Deny
Rights. While the former two will establish how
that content can be scheduled, the latter is used
when the content for whatever reason must not
be scheduled under any circumstance in some or
all of the configured platforms.
When adding rights or blackouts, they should be
recorded to match as closely as possible the
exploitation rights as specified by the licensor,
independently of the platforms that might be
setup in Movida at one moment or other; this will
ensure that, as more platforms are added, those
rights will be exploitable as well.
Normally rights involve a combination of
parameters; for instance, a distributor might
acquire rights for any platform and any device, but
only for a given country. Or it might acquire rights
just for Mobile devices as long as the business
model is Advertising funded. All of these
combinations are easy to specify when recording
rights in Movida, along with:
• Whether it is a Catch-up or a pure On-Demand
right.
• Its license window (when the content can be
put up and when it should be taken down).
• Limits like Utility (how many episodes of a
given series can be scheduled at the same
time).
Recording Rights Recording rights for a Series
Many different rights combination can be recorded per title
• Limits like Exploitation (minimum and
maximum number of days each title can be
scheduled).
• Other settings like Clearances (whether rights
need to be secured individually for each title),
Parity (whether different schedules should have
the same content), and Repeats (how content
can rerun in your schedules).
• Whether all episodes of a series are affected or
just a subset of them.
You can associate as many rights as required to
any given piece of content in order to cover all
possible combinations. For instance, a Broadcaster
might have certain Catch-Up rights but acquire
Subscription Video On-Demand rights for a second
run of the content on a given platform.
Rights can also be entered as part of a “Deal”.
A Deal provides a way to store all rights information
as agreed in a licensing deal, where a set of
umbrella rights will be agreed (license windows,
business models, devices, platforms, etc.) and a list
of features or series with equal or different
availability windows will be governed by them.
All the individual rights resulting from deals will
also be visible as part of the series or features
affected.
Adding content to one or more platforms
On-Demand
Content can be scheduled in two ways, and the
first one is by going to that specific title or series
and adding it to one or more schedules:
This is very handy when a whole series needs to
be scheduled across multiple platforms. From this
same page, you can access the main schedule
page just for this piece of content in order to
perform further operations with it, such as
exporting it or sending the content to Sequence
(one of our other products, fully integrated with
Movida).
The second way to schedule content involves our
visual schedule, which is much better for longer
scheduling sessions that involve multiple titles; for
instance, when you need to put together a
schedule for a whole month on a given platform
taking into account volumes of content and
available rights, the visual schedule is just the tool
for that.
The visual schedule will let you modify a schedule
just by dragging and dropping elements on the
screen and will visually inform you of the rights
status of each episode or feature. It also enables
you to:
• Do powerful filtering: by tag, rights status or
name.
Catch-Up
created. These rules are closely related to rights,
and the rules page will warn you as to whether
you are scheduling within your catch-up rights or
not, and adjust rules to match those rights if
necessary.
• Change the scope and work by week, month or
year.
• Change start or end dates by simply extending
or reducing content.
• Reschedule content by moving multiple titles or
series back and forth.
• Stagger scheduled series so that one or more
episodes come in every week.
• Keep track of content volumes and rights status.
And much, much more!
Results & Benefits
As shown at the beginning, the main output of
Movida is a comprehensive schedule across all
platforms and territories that can be consumed in
a number of ways, like:
• Sending it to our Sequence product for the
operations team to commence encoding,
subtitling or transcoding operations.
• Publishing scheduling information and metadata
directly to the platforms in XML format for those
users who use our Metadata product.
• Consuming it through our APIs to drive other
systems or consumer apps.
• Simply exporting it to Excel to send to other
people or departments.
All of these features allow your teams to be more
productive: more titles can be distributed to more
platforms, with speed and quality. The systematic
approach of Movida also lets you optimise
exploitation of your on-demand rights, and of
your non-linear ad inventory.
The favourite feature of any Broadcaster (or
Network), our Catch-up module drives automatic
scheduling based on a Linear Schedule import of
one or many TV channels. The Catch-up section is
organised as an inbox, where you can see what
new linear content has been imported, whether it
has already been scheduled as catch-up or should
be discarded for catch-up or whether there are
any rights conflicts that need to be solved.
When you select a programme for Catch-up,
Movida will take you to the Rules section of that
programme where one or more rules can be

Our products have well designed, powerful yet
simple web service Application Programming
Interfaces that are publicly documented. Everything
a human can do in Movida can be achieved using
the API. Movida can be fully integrated into our
customers media operations through its API,
working seamlessly with other systems such as
Linear Scheduling Systems, Media Asset
Management or Advertising Campaign Managers.
Deep integration like this enables Movida to show
our users the results of work initiated in other
systems or to drive work in those systems.
