Pilat Media At NAB 2014

At this year's NAB show in Las Vegas, Pilat Media is to demonstrate the latest enhancements to its Integrated Broadcast Management System (IBMS).

IBMS is a scalable software system for content and rights management, media trafficking, airtime scheduling, and advertising sales.
New features address genre-specific and platform-specific scheduling, workflow orchestration and business dashboards and delivering increasing asset volumes across a multiplicity of direct-to-consumer and syndicated content services.
Enhancements will include functional and usable additions to the following areas:

IBMS Rights: Either as a stand-alone solution or as an addition to IBMS-managed environments, IBMS Rights delivers centralised rights management across all broadcasting operations, covering contract management, program finance, and distribution licensing for linear and on-demand multiplatform content services.

Ad sales management with IBMS Sales: Covering airtime and non-airtime sales, traffic, finance and business intelligence for complex multichannel and multiplatform operations, IBMS Sales provides users with ad sales management.

Semantic Layer, Enhanced Analytics and Reporting: Pilat Media has augmented its IBMS:Adapt suite of customisation tools with a new semantic layer that lays the foundation for connectivity with the IBMS database.
Pilat Media will also launch a new reporting server that leverages the semantic layer. Supporting scheduled execution of reports and subscription-based delivery to users, the new custom reporting capabilities are available through a Web interface or through the native IBMS interface.
The new semantic layer will also support integration with custom and third-party business applications.

The Full IBMS Express Cloud-Based Product Suite: Offers smaller networks and stations a fast-to-deploy cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. IBMS Express provides a streamlined workflow and user interface that addresses the full gamut of management functions including scheduling, media, airtime sales, traffic, and reporting for linear and on-demand multiscreen services.

Glocal IBMS Deployment Blueprint: Pilat Media has introduced a blueprint for a modular deployment concept of IBMS, allowing users to harmonise their central and geographically dispersed local operations.
The new architecture integrates local deployments of IBMS Express with a centralised Enterprise IBMS to permit sharing of content and rights metadata across the entire ecosystem.

OTTilus Next-Generation TV Everywhere Platform: Pilat Media's OTTilus provides enterprise-class OTT solutions that enable broadcasters, platform operators and new media ventures to launch the next generation of TV Everywhere services.
At the 2014 NAB Show, Pilat Media will highlight the OTTilus Service Manager for advanced backend service management, monetisation and unified operation of TV and OTT services, as well as the OTTilus Video Platform, a pre-integrated end-to-end solution addressing media preparation, secure content delivery and end user applications for all popular consumer devices.

"More than ever, media companies benefit from Pilat Media's continuous investment in the most powerful software platform for broadcast business management and service delivery," said Fabrice Beer-Gabel, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Pilat Media.
"The new semantic layer, 'glocal' IBMS, cloud based IBMS Express and OTTilus Video Platform are the latest additions on display at this year's NAB Show. They give media businesses, large and small, an efficient path to business diversification and growth while giving their business users, and IT managers the agility they need to respond effectively to constantly changing business requirements."
