Geo location for DMA’s

After consulting with several customers, we have determined that customers often don't have easy access to the viewer DMA since the user identity component of the application is frequently outsourced to third-party providers. Genius Sports will perform region detection and blocking on the edge. If a user is not in a DMA where they can view a fixture, the video player will never dispatch the 'player_ready' event, and the player will not be visible. We would like to understand the preferred workflow from customers. If desired, Genius Sports can emit additional information about the user DMA to the hosting application.

Knowing in which DMA’s a fixture is viewable

An example DMA map where different fixtures are denoted by different colors. Viewers in the red and blue areas cannot watch the same fixture at the same time.

We have made some additive changes to our Video API to indicate which DMA’s a fixture is available in. Notice the "dmas" : [] field
