Thought Equity Motion provides digitization, access, and monetization services to some of the world’s leading sports rights holders. Our Managed Services Platform delivers asset management, preservation, and access capabilities for sports motion content while our Content Services offerings drive monetization by licensing footage from the NCAA, Big Ten Conference, Raycom Sports, National Rugby League and more to producers of sports, advertising, and entertainment content. We are the exclusive licensing agent for thousands of hours of sports content spanning 80 years. Our Sports Collection is the largest online sports footage library in the world. We provide unparalleled access to digital sports content, licensing expertise and industry-leading technology to deliver fast-action sports content via virtually any media.

We digitize and catalog thousands of hours of footage for our partners, layering in robust metadata to make it available for easy online search, preview and purchase. The NCAA chose us to create a digital archive to preserve 80 years of footage, including deteriorating 35mm film.

Our advanced metadata and delivery capabilities enable leading edge sports applications that drive engagement, monetization, and rights value expansion. These include archival vaults, contextual feeds for broadband publishing, and API syndication. We created the first collegiate sports video iPhone app and we deliver fully-produced game highlights to online news portals within hours of the final buzzer. Always innovating, we bring our clients new ways to deliver a richer experience to their audiences with video.

Today NCAA sports footage is not only preserved in an online digital library and updated weekly; it has been monetized to create an additional revenue stream for the NCAA and its member institutions. We manage the footage libraries of the NCAA, Big Ten, Raycom Sports, Sony Pictures, MGM, NBC News, National Geographic and dozens of other footage partners.

We provide our customers unmatched licensing, clearances and research services. Our rights and clearances experts have licensed sports footage for use in thousands of feature films, TV programs, sports networks, commercials and corporate productions. We also have the ability to source virtually any piece of sports footage not in our library and assist in the licensing and clearances process. We’ve licensed and cleared footage featuring prominent former college players such as, Christian Laettner, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Philip Rivers, Joakim Noah, Greg Oden, Coach K., JJ Reddick, Sue Bird and hundreds of other athletes and coaches.
