Project description

The XAC Project consists of a pilot platform addressed to the Catalan audiovisual sector (local televisions, producers and other audiovisual entities) with the aim of easing the way of interchanging (sell/buy) audiovisual contents. To do so, a prototype has been defined and implemented, permitting the secure interchange of audiovisual content between different agents, in a digital environment (Internet). In the implementation of this prototype, different aspects have been taken into account: content presentation, content search, content governance (using licensing services), content protection, etc.
