TV data service provider EBS will launch its new PAWA software at this years IBC. PAWA provides a multi-platform, multi-territory, scalable software solution that enables EPG data to be aggregated, restructured and delivered to any platform.
As demand for content continues to increase, the role of the EPG has grown. In the traditional linear world when channels and platforms need to aggregate and supply data for the EPG, there is a create-once-distribute-many-times approach. The 24/7 accessibility of VoD/Download-to-Own (DTO) content means that the traditional schedule information is no longer tied to the programmes date and time of viewing. PAWA accommodates the full range of distribution requirements needed by todays broadcast professionals.
PAWA can import listings from a variety of formats storing them centrally in preparation for distribution. Editors can then add any additional data required for translations, extra metadata (such as images or cast) before the listings are sent to the broadcaster or content owner once, for multiple distribution.
PAWA can be bought as a managed service whereby EBS handles the entire EPG data process requiring only schedules and updates. Alternatively, PAWA can be used in-house with support and training from EBS.
