VIDA, the secure cloud-native media asset management system, will launch Connect2, their latest application, at IBC 2024 in Amsterdam, from September 13-16, on their stand 5.B44 in Hall 5, Content Everywhere. This solution empowers film and TV content owners by streamlining the self-service process for licensees, providing seamless access and control over valuable media assets.
Connect2 integrates within the VIDA Content OS, used by global broadcasters such as the BBC, to revolutionize the management of master intellectual property (IP) for film and TV content owners. This includes video, audio, documents, and marketing files stored in VIDA. The application allows licensees to independently access these assets, thereby reducing administrative overhead and expediting content distribution and utilization.
“We developed Connect2 to transform media asset access and management,” said Symon Roue, Managing Director of VIDA. “By empowering licensees with self-service capabilities, we enable content owners to focus on creating and curating outstanding content while ensuring effective and secure IP use.”
