We evaluate selected feature films and documentaries in the cinema. Theatrical distribution in the Netherlands is handled by our own sales company. In Germany, Austria and Belgium, we work with various cooperation partners in what is known as "booking & billing". Through a theatrical release, a film receives increased attention, which usually has a positive effect on marketing in the subsequent exploitation stages.

About four months after the theatrical release, the film is usually exploited in home entertainment. This important business segment for the Splendid Group comprises the areas of rental and sales via the Internet (video-on-demand VoD and electronic sell-through EST), as well as the sale and rental of physical visual sound carriers (Blu-ray and DVD).
In the VoD/EST sector, the Splendid Group markets its content via all major Internet platforms as well as via its own portal maxdome. Under the "meinVoD" label, we also make our VoD platform concept available to business customers from various sectors (e.g. telecommunications, industry, trade), offering B2B customers a range of services including content, development, operation and portal management for their end customers.
Splendid distributes its own and third-party programs as a digital service provider and content aggregator. This includes the technical provision and processing of film content for our customers Amazon, Google, Apple, Sky and many other portals.

The Splendid Group's customers include all major streaming providers and TV broadcasters in German-speaking countries and the Benelux countries. We sell the license rights for a contractually agreed period of time or for a contractually agreed number of broadcasts in a given period. The exploitation of the product (film or series) on streaming platforms or on TV begins approximately four to six months after the start of home entertainment exploitation. As a rule, the film is first licensed to pay TV or SVoD (streaming) providers for the so-called "Pay1-Window", usually for twelve months. This is followed by the free TV window, a second pay window or AVoD exploitation ("advertising" VOD, with ad-financed portals instead of subscription models). As an alternative to this model, in special cases there is a "direct to stream" sale, in which the film or series premiere takes place on the same start date as home entertainment (or completely without) at the streaming service or pay TV provider, for a correspondingly higher license price. Once the license agreement expires, the film is available for renewed licensing (subsequent exploitation).

The Group company Splendid Synchron was founded in 1989 and is one of the leading service providers in the German dubbing landscape. At its two locations in Cologne and Berlin, Splendid Synchron is dedicated to the creation of German versions and edits series, feature films and film documentaries. The company handles content of all exploitation types: cinema, TV, streaming/mediatheques, DVD/Blu-ray. The clients are a large number of international and national producers, license dealers, broadcasters and streaming platforms. The studio capacities at both locations are equipped according to the latest security standards and work closely networked so that the creative pool of both locations can be accessed within a project.

At its corporate headquarters in Hamburg, the Group company Enteractive is increasingly providing its services via the platform-as-a-service solution todos© that it developed by itself. The technical expertise and long-standing business relationships with all major companies in the entertainment industry enable Enteractive to create innovative applications for the media industry and to penetrate new service areas. The development of the Group's own VoD platform Videociety is largely attributable to the know-how of this service unit.
