New for TV, Mobile, and Web Apps: Poster Images

You may have already seen or used Poster Image uploads and management in the Media Cloud. Now it is possible to use them across all of your TV Apps, Mobile Apps and Web Apps.

This is a great way to take the visual impact of your Apps to the next level. It makes you look even more “Netflix,” as long as you have good gallery images.

With the award-winning Media Cloud, you can easily upload and manage Poster Images for videos in a 2:3 aspect ratio, in addition to regular 16:9 gallery images. Your Web Apps, Mobile Apps and supporting TV Apps will load the 2:3 Poster Images within a specific 2:3 Channel - a VOD or AOD Channel which you define as a Poster Image Gallery, a row of 2:3 Poster Thumbnails within your Apps.

You can position and move this specific 2:3 Poster Image Row in each app via the App Builder, just like any other row. Click here to see how!

Simply navigate to the IMAGES tab of an item in your Video or Audio Archive and upload an image with dimensions of at least 640 x 960 pixels. Click here to see how!

Here are some advantages of Poster Images:

1. Enhanced Visibility: Poster images are larger and more visually appealing, making them stand out more prominently on platforms and increasing the likelihood of catching viewers' attention.

2. Improved Engagement: The larger size and more dynamic appearance of Poster images encourage viewers to engage with the content and click through to watch the video or listen to the audio, ultimately leading to higher viewer engagement and interaction.

3. Brand Representation: Poster images offer publishers more space to incorporate branding elements, such as logos, colors, and imagery, helping to reinforce brand identity and recognition among viewers.
