MEDIA Programme: Video on Demand and Digital Cinema Distribution

Funding is available to support the digital distribution of European audiovisual works to a wider, international audience and/or to cinema exhibitors. This scheme funds advanced distribution services, integrating where necessary digital security systems in order to protect online content.
Two types of services are eligible:
· Video on Demand (VoD): Service enabling individuals to select audiovisual works from a central server for viewing on a remote screen by streaming and/or downloading (B2C - Business to Consumer)
· Digital Cinema Distribution (DCD): Digital delivery (to an acceptable commercial standard) of content to cinemas for theatrical exploitation via hard disc, satellite or online (B2B - Business to Business).
