Secure Path CEO Alan Haft states, "With cable retransmission royalty processing mandates already in place in France and Spain, and additional territories following suit, we are seeing a rapid increase in registration activity in both catalog and newly produced content. At the same time, multinational media companies are recognizing the need for a global content identification standard in order to audit and track the distribution of their media content, so it's no surprise we are starting to see so many companies coming to the table to begin registering their audiovisual assets."
Under the terms of the agreement, NBCU will save at least 30% from standard ISAN registration pricing.
Haft continues, "In order for the ISAN standard to be globally accepted, we have to make sure the registration process is both efficient and cost effective. Although the market for registration is far beyond its infancy, we still have to recognize the need to work with companies to help minimize the costs of adopting this very important standard."
In addition to the code registration agreement, Secure Path also provides NBCU with its proprietary MediaDNS(TM) metadata services platform that enables firms to not only register their content, but also to transform it into many different formats across multiple distribution channels.
"Our goal is to not only make the registration process simple and cost effective, but also to provide a company with a simple-to-use registration platform that also enables them to distribute their data in multiple formats. MediaDNS(TM) has proven to be very useful in helping us and our clients achieve this fundamental goal," states Haft.
