TAXI Complete
The first quarter of 2018 has seen the publication of the SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) open standard to bind Ad-ID and EIDR into video, using Kantar’s audio watermarking technology. This new standard can enable a variety of applications from streamlining media workflows and “programmatic TV” to more rapid tracking of assets and audience measurement.
A Proof of Concept Pilot Test of this technology was tested in the Fox Media Lab in December. The results have been shared at industry events and workshops for CIMM Member Companies, and others in the industry, to encourage innovation built on this new standard.

TAXI Background
Since its launch in 2013, the TAXI (Trackable Asset Cross-Platform Identification) initiative has helped significantly advance industry efforts to establish a system for identifying entertainment and advertising assets across distribution platforms and for setting standards for multi-channel asset tracking.
At the core of this initiative is the development of an open standard for binding assets identifiers to advertising and content that would help these identifiers remain embedded throughout the media distribution eco-system. Ad-ID is the standard for identifying ads and Entertainment ID Registry for content.
Aside from more accurate tracking and audience measurement of content and ads across platforms, the benefits of such an open standard range from greater efficiencies and cost savings throughout the cross-media ecosystem to improved workflows, to creating a foundation for the future of advanced advertising.

SMPTE Open Binding of IDs to Video Essence Study
The SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) Study Group selected a technical method to create an open standard for binding media identifiers into the essence of video. Standards in media asset identification will enable greater speed and efficiency throughout the media ecosystem, particularly as it relates to tracking videos for audience measurement purposes as they move across platforms. CIMM has selected two standard media identifiers: Ad-ID for ads and EIDR (Entertainment ID Registry) for content. Ad-ID is a joint venture from the ANA (Association of National Advertisers) and the 4A’s (American Association of Advertising Agencies), and EIDR is a joint venture of the movie studios through MovieLabs, Rovi, and CableLabs. Both maintain online databases of all registered assets, complete with standardized metadata.
