Can I offer On-Demand Versions of my PPV Live Event?
Yes, you can. There are two options:
1. Using the same PPV product:
In your PPV Agreement & Specs Form, request an extended ticket-validity-duration of the PPV product until a future date of your choice (past the live-event date). This will allow PPV Live Event ticket holders to play back the On-Demand version right after the event is over, as soon as you make the recordings available, or upload local recordings you edited in post-production. PPV Live Event ticket holders won't need to pay an additional ticket to play back the On-Demand version.
Please keep in mind that this option works best if you do not intend to make lengthy post-production edits to the live-events, but you are able to upload the On-Demand recordings right after, or shortly after, the end of the live-event.
2. Using a separate PPV product:
Request a separate PPV product for the On-Demand versions, with a new, separate ticket-validity-duration after the event. Please keep in mind that with a separate PPV product, ticket holders from the PPV Live Event will have to purchase another PPV ticket to access the on-demand version. In other words, PPV ticket holders won't be granted access to the on-demand recording due to the PPV product being a separate product.
This option is better if you do not know how quick you can upload the on-demand recordings following the event, and if you need several days to edit the recordings before uploading them and making them available as on-demand videos.
