Geographical Restriction Feature
Geographical Restrictions
Geo Restrictions are a standard yet powerful feature within the product entitlement section of Cleeng Core. This is an important and sort after feature especially for broadcasters who only hold rights to content in particular locations. Broadcasters can decide to restrict access to their premium content in specific countries. For example, if you want your Live PPV event or Subscription VOD's to be available only to US-based viewers, you can use the Geo restriction feature to set these parameters.
