The method comprising recording digital media content on a DMR device, managing distribution of the digital media content to one or more remote devices, automatically distributing the digital media content to the one or more remote devices, the distributed digital media content configured for local hosting at the one or more remote devices, and monitoring consumption of the digital media content distributed to the one or remote devices. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for providing on-site content delivery and on-demand content access, the method comprising: loading, to a digital media recorder (DMR) device, parameters from a reader device that were received from a wireless portable identification key device upon verifying authorization of a user in possession of the key device to access the DMR device, the parameters defining location-specific configurations to operate a plurality of recording devices by a specific user using the wireless portable identification key device, wherein the plurality of recording devices that receive the parameters are determined to be located at different locations; recording digital media content on the DMR device by combining media content received from the plurality of recording devices in conjunction with automated operation of ancillary equipment according to the parameters and a location of the specific user corresponding to one of the different locations, wherein the ancillary equipment includes one or more of the following: lights, projectors and switching systems; starting and stopping the recording of the digital media content based on the wireless portable identification key device entering or exiting a given location that is detectable by the reader device; managing distribution of the digital media content to one or more remote devices; automatically distributing the digital media content to the one or more remote devices; and monitoring consumption of the digital media content distributed to the one or remote devices. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving polling requests from the one or more remote devices to refresh the distributed digital media content. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless portable identification key device includes predefined instructions to create, tag, and distribute the digital media content. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein managing distribution of the digital media content to the one or more remote devices is based on a configuration associated with the wireless portable identification key device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein automatically distributing the digital media content to the one or more remote devices is based on a configuration associated with the wireless portable identification key device. ### Claim 6 A system for on-site content delivery and on-demand content access, the system comprising: a digital media recorder (DMR) device; a reader device coupled to the DMR device, the reader device receives parameters from a wireless portable identification key device upon verifying authorization of a user in possession of the key device to access the DMR device and loads the parameters to the DMR device, wherein the parameters define location-specific configurations to operate a plurality of recording devices by a specific user using the wireless portable identification key device, and the plurality of recording devices that receive the parameters are determined to be located at different locations; a processor; and a memory having executable instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: record digital media content on the DMR device by combining media content received from the plurality of recording devices in conjunction with automated operation of ancillary equipment according to the parameters and a location of the specific user corresponding to one of the different locations, wherein the ancillary equipment includes one or more of the following: lights, projectors and switching systems; start and stop the recording of the digital media content based on the wireless portable identification key device entering or exiting a given location that is detectable by the reader device: manage distribution of the digital media content to one or more remote devices; automatically distribute the digital media content to the one or more remote devices; and monitor consumption of the digital media content distributed to the one or remote devices. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the processor is configured to receive polling requests from the one or more remote devices to refresh the distributed digital media content. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the portable identification key device includes predefined instructions to create, tag, and distribute the digital media content. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the processor manages distribution of the digital media content to the one or more remote devices based on a configuration associated with the wireless portable identification key device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the processor automatically distributes the digital media content to the one or more remote devices based on a configuration associated with the wireless portable identification key device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the digital media content includes content generated by or in the presence of the specific user. ### Claim 12 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the digital media content includes content generated by or in the presence of the specific user. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying the location of the specific user based on a location corresponding to the parameters received from the wireless portable identification key device by the reader device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13 further comprising monitoring the location of the specific user. ### Claim 15 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the processor identifies the location of the specific user based on a location corresponding to the parameters received from the wireless portable identification key device by the reader device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15 wherein the processor monitors the location of the specific user.
