    Introduction

    Behind the broadcasting of content lies an extensive process that starts with creating this content. This includes, for example, programs (movies), series and series episodes, as well as trailers and commercials. Programs (movies), series episodes, trailers, and commercials each require versions (e.g., original and synchronized versions) in order to be scheduled.

    The Content App allows to create and manage all elements needed for linear program planning and broadcast planning (performed in the Programmer and Planner App respectively). The content entries represent what will appear in a schedule such as movies (programs), series or trailers. Later in the process, content needs to be linked  with the actual media files the audience will see, including video assets and images. Those media files (assets) are managed in the Assets App.
