TRX and Vistex Offer Rights Integration for TV Distributors
Partnership allows sellers to send content avails direct to TRX platform
LONDON, April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vistex, the leading provider of rights and royalty software solutions, is pleased to announce its integration with TRX, the world's TV rights market solutions provider. With complete compatibility between Vistex and TRX, the solutions allow distributors to send up-to-date TV rights availability data from Vistex to the TRX platform.
UK-based Jetpack Distribution was the first to utilize this new service, making their rights available on the TRX platform from the point of contract entry into their Vistex rights management software. Dominic Gardiner, CEO of global content producer and distributor Jetpack Distribution, said, "We have been clients of both TRX and Vistex for over 18 months, and this combined initiative allows our catalogue to be made available at literally the click of a button. Having our catalogue on as many platforms is vital for us to invest in our content. The time-saving element is not to be understated."
Phil Bird, head of sales at Vistex, elaborated, "Vistex and TRX have had a close working relationship for over two years. We have integrated two of our solutions with TRX. This has provided enormous confidence to companies such as the BBC, Jetpack, Lightning, Insight and Gusto, knowing that any rights information passing through from Vistex to TRX is accurate and up to date, which is the essence of good avails. Matt, Dan and the team at TRX were also a breeze to work with."
Matthew Frank, CEO of TRX, added, "Being able to check instant avails online is a key feature of TRX, and this integration means that TRX is always displaying the correct rights picture to our 1000+ buyers. Working with Vistex has been quick and easy, and we look forward to integrating with many more Vistex clients in the future."
At MIPTV April 8-11, Vistex will be exhibiting at Booths #P-1.B60/#P-1.C61. For more information, or to arrange a meeting at MIPTV, please contact: tom.royds@vistex.com
