Synchronized, the European-based ‘Smart Video’ technology company, announced today that their ‘Smart-Thumbnails‘ solution has been chosen by M6 Group to fast-track promotional content creation for its AVOD platform 6play.
Smart-Thumbnails is one of the services of Synchronized’s Smart Video Platform – an AI/machine-learning turnkey solution for media content intelligence.
Video-on-demand services need still images called ‘thumbnails’ for on-platform promotion of their programming and content. The selection of these images is as critical as product images on e-commerce sites and great care is taken to selecting the ideal picture from thousands of others.
It must be representative of the content and context of the video and ensure continuity of the aesthetic of the editorial line and the overall image of the platform.
Due to the ever-increasing size of the 6play catalog, manual delivery of this editorial task is no longer scalable.
Synchronized’s Smart-Thumbnails service fully automates the process of image selection, editing, and publishing thumbnail images via metadata enrichment whilst also allowing editorial teams complete and precise control over the editorial rules governing the aesthetic of the content and OTT platform. The service delivers significant gains in productivity, saving our clients time and money whilst improving the final quality of image selection.
Guillaume Doret CEO of Synchronized said:
“With Synchronized Smart-Thumbnails, TV broadcasters, IPTV and OTT Services now can save hundreds of hours of manual labor every month with significant gains in quality. This is a game changer.”
