Silvermouse is a web-based system which issues forms to production teams to record the post-production paperwork for their TV programmes and non-linear audio-visual content.
Although independent production companies may be familiar with Silvermouse and already use it for production paperwork for other broadcasters, this video shows the 成人论坛's specific requirements.
From August 2020, non-linear content (including diversity reporting) should be reported in Silvermouse as well as linear TV programmes. Please speak to your 成人论坛 contact for more details.
The following helpcards provide detailed support for each of the forms, identifying what information is required by the 成人论坛. If you have any questions about content, please refer to your 成人论坛 contact in the first instance.
