How It Works the proverbial nuts-and-bolts

FloodGate™ is a simple streaming-media hosting solution that integrates with your existing payment system to stream non-DRM-protected files in a secure Web-based environment. FloodGate’s innovative protection mechanism turns the customer’s IP address into a digital key that unlocks specific content for a designated amount of time. After your content has been uploaded, FloodGate™ generates a link (similar to the one provided by PayPal’s online payment system) that can be displayed on your Website or embedded in an e-mail. When a user clicks the link, it opens a window with a secure payment form on FloodGate’s server. Once their payment is processed through your payment gateway, FloodGate™ unlocks the stream for a specified amount of time using the customer’s unique IP address. If the licensed customer sends the link to an unlicensed user, they are directed to the same convenient payment form, thereby increasing your streaming media’s viral marketing potential.

It’s a simple, secure system for controlling access to your streaming media files.

Just 3 Simple Steps a sure recipe for success

Floodgate’s naturally intuitive interface makes it easy for you to capitalize on your streaming audio or video content in three easy steps:


	Create streaming media files in a variety of acceptable formats. Floodgate’s Web-based protection allows your media to be viewed on any networked computer, regardless of the viewer’s operating system—which makes the tool a boon for media-savvy Mac-users.

	Upload content via user-friendly Web browser or FTP interface. Content is stored securely on our state-of-the-art servers and protected from viruses, malware, and, of course, prying eyes.

	Add the link provided to your website, or send it in an email to your customers. Then, sit back, relax, and watch the sales come in. Enjoy the fruits of your hard work, and find comfort in knowing that your content is secured by the most trusted name in the industry. And, rest-assured your customers are enjoying a level of convenience and seamless media experience that only MediaCinch™ can provide.

It’s that simple and that secure.
Once your media files are posted online, Floodgate seamlessly integrates with your existing customer payment system to instantly deliver a temporary license that allows the user to stream online content for a designated amount of time. Unlike Microsoft’s Windows-only Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology, Floodgate’s IP-based security system protects streaming content made or viewed on any computing platform—giving you more control, more convenience, and more customers than you ever imagined.
