With the launch of NEXTGEN TV and the rollout of television sets with ATSC 3.0 receivers in them, it is now the time to help your viewers find your NEXTGEN TV Channel. Let AntennaWeb.org help you do that. AntennaWeb now includes NEXTGEN Channels in the results on the website. There is also a section that helps educate consumers about what NEXTGEN TV is and how they can watch it. Heidi Steffen will walk you through the site and what it has to offer your viewers.
TitanTV, Inc, has been working with others in the broadcast industry to develop the Addressable Asset Identification Standard (AAIS) in association with NextGen Distribution. We will review TitanTV’s contribution to the development of the new standard.  We will also discuss how  MediaStar Scheduler will be used to enhance efficiency in the AAIS workflow. We are anticipating several other companies involved with the AAIS to join us on this webinar.  The description for this webinar and its participating companies will be updated as plans are finalized.
Performing content replacement in live linear program content can be difficult or impossible due to the ever changing nature of live events. Some of the most valuable opportunities to serve consumers on their mobile, desktop and large screen devices exists in live streaming content. Add in the complexities of replacement rules that surround “Server Side” and “Client Side” applications and we find a recipe for missed opportunities.
The Addressable Asset Identification Standard for NEXTGEN Distribution (AAIS) project seeks to resolve these issues. AAIS creates standard process to include: the registration of advertising and program assets using Ad-ID and EIDR services to quickly and accurately identify material assets, share and update live log made by operations with listing services and content replacement engines and create a common process and nomenclature for reconciliation down to the client application.
AAIS defines the process from scheduling to air to the reconciliation of client activity in addressable media. By standardizing naming, signaling and reconciliation process across all media platforms.
Let the EPG help convert consumers to NEXTGEN TV with a user experience similar to OTT, but with customization alternatives that fit your station’s brand. Heidi Steffen will discuss providing an engaging user experience with your EPG with the options that are available to provide different metadata and rich media in your ATSC 3.0 signal. She will also discuss the available tools that allow you to provide customization to the metadata and rich media.
Direct Data Reporting – Wednesday, December 15th at 2pm EST/1pm CST/11am PST
Heidi Steffen and Chelsea Stumpff will introduce you to Direct Data Reporting, a new feature in MediaStar Scheduler. This new option under the Reports menu allows Scheduler users to electronically send schedule reports directly to the major U.S. Data Providers. They will also review which data providers the reports may now be sent directly to and explore timeframe for the anticipated acceptance of this new feature by the remaining data providers. This new way of sending weekly/monthly program reports to the major data providers will reduce report processing time and eliminate the possibility of human error through the several steps in the current manual processing system.
All webinars will be recorded for later review. The link to the video for a webinar will be sent to everyone who registered to attend that webinar.
