New partnership between standards bodies will collaborate on new, more efficient methods to optimize universal identification and tracking <\/em>between Music and Film\/TV Industries<\/em><\/p>\n

Nashville, TN – May 6, 2019 \u2013 DDEX<\/a>, the international standards-setting organization dedicated to improving the exchange of data and information across the music industry, and the Entertainment Identifier Registry<\/a> (EIDR), the global, non-proprietary source of universal unique identifiers for digital distribution of movies and television assets, today announced a partnership aimed at streamlining the use of metadata standards in the music and film\/TV industries.<\/p>\n

The organizations will work together to help increase supply chain efficiencies and enable value added services in the film and TV industries by aligning on a variety of universal identification and tracking issues such as cue sheet standards, finding common language to express relationships between visual media and sound recordings, and ensuring that metadata about music in films and TV programs is sufficiently robust for the various business interactions between the two industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the massive success of film soundtracks like A Star Is Born<\/em> and Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em>, alongside the explosion of music usages in TV and film, it simply makes sense for the music and visual industries to collaborate on establishing a common language,\u201d said Mark Isherwood, Secretariat of DDEX. \u201cThe ultimate goal is always to get rights-holders paid fairly in the most efficient way possible. This partnership with EIDR will go a long way toward ensuring exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic synchronization is an inseparable part of film and TV production. This partnership will have a truly significant impact on all rights-holders,\u201d said EIDR Executive Director, Will Kreth. \u201cIt may seem trivial to agree on standard IDs and common wording, but you can\u2019t effectively measure or monetize what you can\u2019t easily identify – and the truth is, even small inconsistencies can hold up payments of sync rights. We are excited to work with DDEX to make the whole process more efficient on all sides.\u201d<\/p>\n

EIDR\u2019s distinctive identifiers can be easily placed as metadata within audio-visual objects across a wide variety of content, including film, SVOD and OTT, digital content and television (shows, seasons and episodes). The accompanying metadata includes titles, primary credits, edit details and technical details, enabling users to positively and precisely ID content, thus mitigating legacy inefficiencies within cross-platform media workflows, such as time-consuming title matching and identification.<\/p>\n
