CES+’s Film Booking Service allows the client to delegate work to the CES+ Technical Support Team, such as scheduling, tracking, ingesting, and transferring all the movie, advertisement, and trailer content. Likewise, the lists of the shows can be managed in a uniform and standardized way throughout all of the cinema chain’s complexes.
This allows the customer to plan and automate all the shows in all the rooms of a complex throughout the week.
The only requirements by the client to handle the booking by CES+ include:
Confirm any content that is not sent by satellite
Connect the device (USB or DCP) with local advertising content that is not sent by satellite
Select the content, the room, and the time you want to put a show on the POS.
Some of the processes included in the Film Booking Services include:
Confirm availability of content on the satellite at the time of receiving the publication letter from the provider
Tracking of the DCP in case the content has been sent on a device (physically) and ensure that it is ingested so that it is available on time for scheduled events
