Ascent Media has become a trusted partner to the cable industry by providing everything from the industry's most efficient and robust content tracking and distribution systems for cable MSOs to the design and construction of custom media facilities for cable networks.

Utilizing our proprietary Ascent On Demand services like Locale^TM and Vodera^®, we are able to track and manage material with live metadata from the time it arrives from the content provider to when it is ingested at the cable provider. Locale is Ascent Media’s proprietary digital content distribution tool, which provides the most efficient movement and ensures on-time delivery of content from providers for insertion by cable outlets nationwide. Ascent Media’s Locale greatly eliminates errors before delivery even begins. Vodera is a metadata management tool allowing cable operators to more efficiently manage the movement and storage of content. Currently Ascent sends and tracks over 34,000 titles per week from 200 different content providers for 34 cable systems. Our systems work with third-party vendors and allow you to prioritize content by revenue generation. Robust reporting with workflow callouts makes tracking easy.

Our networks team provides the facilities and digital media services necessary to assemble and distribute programming content for cable networks via fiber, satellite, and the internet to viewers in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Finally, our systems integration specialists offer systems integration, design, consulting, engineering, and project management services. We are a builder of custom media facilities that allow cable MSOs to take content distribution and network origination into their own hands and provide richer broadband offerings, including interactive TV options and VOD services.
