Managing too much of media content has always been a tough task for content publishers, broadcasters, and digital media teams. With multiple content formats, categories, genres, and languages dumped in a single place, content managers majority of the time spend in opening the significant and relevant files just to identify what type of asset is it.
This not only slows down curation and publishing workflows but also impacts productivity across the content supply chain.
To eliminate this friction and enhance content visibility briefly, a new update has been introduced to the Content Detail Widget — making metadata tags such as Genre, Segment, Category, Type, and Language visible upfront. This simple yet impactful step delivers a more efficient, intuitive, and time-saving content management experience to the content publishers and broadcasters.
Content is the king, and it is dominating the world of media and entertainment. Giving a complete makeover to the digital landscape, media teams and content publishers handles hundreds and thousands of assets like audio, video, clips, images etc.
In today’s content-driven digital landscape, media teams handle thousands of videos, clips, and assets every month. It is important to have clear metadata visibility as the team struggles to locate the right content for promotions, campaigns, playlist and programming.

With this new feature, users can easily identify the type of content, whether it is a football highlight, or a movie trailer, news byte or an audio recording and it is all in just a few clicks. The result? Faster curation as it reduces manual checks and better catalog organization.
