Images dominate traditional programme guides and content discovery services alike. Across TV listings, TV screens, mobiles and tablets. The number of EPG images required is growing. Whilst offering a richer experience to viewers, this can prove a headache in sourcing, organising and distributing high-quality images. Outsource this operational headache with unique client-focused solutions from PA TV Metadata.
Make PA TV Metadata the single point of contact for your image choice to ensure high-quality output and avoid inaccuracies and inconsistent brand messaging. Fundamental ongoing system developments mean that Pawa users can effectively produce image metadata in line with upcoming industry requirements.
Data sets to complement categories such as rights-approved, high-quality programme images can also be provided.
Pawa can store multiple images at programme, series and episode level. Editors can use the image-editing tool to create images of differing crop size and aspect ratio as required. Uploading a single source image, cropping it to multiple specifications and producing several variations of the image for any purpose, are made easy with Pawa.
Recognising the ever more important role images play in TV listings, our skilled editorial team are experts in working with press teams and websites to source or create appropriate, licensed images for use. Be it on platform, online, EPG, apps or elsewhere.
When distributing, content hierarchies can be established, so that if an episode-specific image is not available, a series or programme image can be used instead. This ensures your programme consistently stands out from the TV listings in the EPG.
Bearing in mind rights issues, particular care is taken to ensure that all images are obtained through appropriate press or production departments and are cleared for use
Additional metadata fields can be added alongside image assets to denote copyright, usage rights and captions
If an image needs to be removed and replaced, this can be done so easily and quickly, thanks to our searchable metadata
