Media Monitoring

Technology

With our in-house monitoring system, we are able to forecast the amount of royalties to be expected at any time.

In the event of a complaint, our claims based on the audit proof data are accepted by GEMA.

How it works
  1. Fingerprint

    Creating an audio fingerprint based on the voiceover version

  2. Upload to the monitoring system

    For each track an audio fingerprint is created in the system. Tracking and documen­tation in our IT monitoring system follows the fingerprint upload immediately

  3. Evaluation

    The analysis of the recorded broadcast data is possible at any time and includes all broadcast information such as channel, date, time and royalty amount
