Counterpoint System announces the availability of Media Maestro Merchandising, the latest version of its rights management and royalty processing software used by major studios and independent producers worldwide.

Manage content and entertainment brands across any market

Media Maestro’s merchandising module allows media and entertainment brand owners to track content and brand exploitation across any sales channel. Media Maestro’s licensee agreements manage entertainment properties, sales channels and products at SKU level, and seamlessly integrates with media rights and participation contracts. This allows you to calculate producer and talent participations for media, home entertainment and merchandising from within a single system.

Save time and money managing complex participations and royalties

Media Maestro’s calculation engine allows you to automate even the most complex participations and royalties. Media Maestro now includes a whole range of new industry standards driven primarily from the new media and subscription markets, allowing users to centralize data which can be used to automatically calculate royalties due to all content providers. Revenue and royalty pools, pro-ration and apportionment, usage and activity reports and subscription models now form a core part of the calculation routine.

Seamless Financial Integration

Media Maestro contains a full sub-ledger with accounting policy manager which allows you to control how and when you want to create ledger postings, and code those postings to integrate with your coroporate ledger. Every financial posting is automated along with the revenue recognition and billing process based on your rules. Media Maestro’s AR gives you the complete picture covering aged debtor analysis, invoicing and cash entry and application for your media, home entertainment and merchandising deals.
