The asset is a sequential storage medium for one or more program versions (movie, series, trailer, etc.). If a program does not fit on one asset, two or more assets are combined to one material set via so called reels. An asset is characterized via certain time code locations which define the start, duration and end of the stored programs on the asset. In addition, the asset has (among others) the following attributes:

• Asset name
• Reference number
• Asset category
• Asset format
• Asset length

Assets can be edited in the dialog Edit asset.
