Media & Image images, posters, title cards and channel logos, ready to display

Images arrive two ways: automated feeds pull assets directly from partner delivery systems, and Media Press photo editors source the rest by hand, from official press sites, agencies, stock libraries and direct contacts. Every image is checked against the broadcast it belongs to before it enters the library, so labelling stays accurate at the source.

Artwork also exists at more than one level of the catalogue. A content-level photo covers one specific episode or film, a season-level photo covers a whole season, and a series-level photo covers the whole show. Because a title inherits artwork from the level above when nothing more specific exists, a sparse or newly added episode still arrives with a proper image rather than a blank slot.

Every asset resolves to the same identity layer as the rest of the platform. Cast and crew portraits link to the same Person ID used in Celebrities & Cast Metadata, including telling a fictional character apart from the real performer who plays them, and images for a franchise, a "Marvel"-style universe of related films and spin-offs, are grouped under one franchise identity with its own title card and image gallery, the same franchise record described under Streaming Metadata.

Every asset is stored, catalogued and linked inside the Media & Image Hub, the visual asset layer of the MP Platform. Images are not handed over as a flat file dump: they are tied to the correct title, person or channel record, deduplicated, and where several source images exist for the same title, the best is selected automatically by quality and relevance, not left for you to sort through.

You do not manage resizing, cropping or format conversion: you request an image and get a stable URL and the right asset, every time. AI image enhancement handles face-aware smart cropping, automatic colour correction, super-resolution for lower-quality sources, and heavy file-size reduction (up to 90% smaller) with no visible quality loss.

It also respects how content owners want their artwork presented. Provider-specific visual rules (a studio's composition, branding or usage guidelines) can be enforced automatically per client, so what you display stays compliant with the owner's requirements.

It isn't only stills, either: trailers and promotional video are managed the same way, linked to the same title record and delivered alongside your metadata through the same integration.

Each image carries more than pixels: a complete, structured record of its rights and provenance travels with it, covering every asset in the library, not a subset you have to chase down separately:

• Where it came from: the source it was acquired from (agency, photographer or provider) and the copyright owner
• What licence applies: licence type and price level, and whether the asset is paid or free to use
• Where it can be used: territory and platform restrictions, and usage scope
• For how long: emission restrictions and any expiry date on the usage rights
• Usage flags: such as print-only, so digital use is clearly governed

Because every image travels with this information, you always know exactly what you may display, where, on which platform and until when, rather than carrying legal risk on artwork you cannot trace. That is what turns a pile of images into a library you can publish from with confidence.
