Using SIVOO’s Distribution Network
CEDR customers can choose to have SIVOO manage and distribute their content throughout our distribution network for a share of revenue. Content is generally started on UGC and other open Internet sites, and - if successful - is “graduated” to closed sites and platforms like Joost, Verizon V-Cast, and even to IPTV and cable systems as transactional VOD.
Using or Creating Your Own Distribution Network
Large aggregators generally bring both their own distribution partners and a more limited rights basis to distribution. SIVOO can easily integrate any distributor, platform, or standard into CEDR, and can distribute to one, two, or all three screens. CEDR could simply serve as an administrative interface for MSOs to manage video assets for Internet and mobile platforms, for example.
Choosing Your CEDR Account Type
The CEDR Basic Account is free, but is limited as follows: you must upload electronic files, are limited to distributors with whom SIVOO has already integrated, and agree to share revenue earned from video put into CEDR with SIVOO. Custom Accounts pay to use CEDR, but may import video from any source, export video to any source - including TV and HD - and do not share any revenue with SIVOO. Take a moment to review these two account types in the table below to see what capabilities you need.
