New! Stepping up on metadata management
The latest Knox Media Hub updates bring effective metadata tools and strategies for smarter metadata management, faster delivery and limitless scalability.
Our latest update takes metadata management to the next level. With extra capabilities, your media assets metadata is now more organized, compliant, and ready for delivery. From sourcing to XML output, metadata now will flow seamlessly through your supply chain, structured, compliant, and automated.
Here’s all you need to know👇
1.Export Metadata Templates
If you’ve ever been involved in media delivery, you’ll know how each channel, client or streaming platform has its own specific requirements for deliverables and metadata. Generating spreadsheets for every episode and delivery destination can be a real headache. Now, that entire process can be fully automated and completely customizable, with the panel Export Metadata Templates!
A template generator to extract metadata and get well-structured spreadsheets with ease.
Metadata transformations: translate metadata for regional deliveries or adapt formats to meet platform-specific standards (e.g. convert date formats from DD-MM-YY to YY-MM-DD). Every platform has its quirks and now you can easily align metadata with each one. Just set up your transformation template and run it across your assets.
Pre-made templates for most common platforms.
A friendly UI that makes everything quick and easy, even for non-technical users.
A pipeline module that integrates this step into your orchestrated workflows, so this last-mile delivery step is fully automated.
Metadata compliance check: Ensure your metadata files match the delivery template requirements before submission.
2.Text Replacement Templates
As we mentioned, every client and platform subscribes to its own standards and naming conventions. So instead of having teams manually adjust formulas or update fields over and over, Text Replacement Templates let you automate those transformations using predefined rules.
Here’s are some examples of time-saving use cases:
Switch date formats or timecodes (e.g. from DD-MM-YY to YYYY-MM-DD)
Automatically apply naming conventions based on the destination platform
Translate text fields or apply bulk edits (perfect for changing credits across a whole season)
Adjust casing (uppercase/lowercase/title case) in a few clicks
Once your rules are saved, they can be applied automatically as part of your metadata export templates, so everything stays consistent, compliant, and ready to deliver at scale.
3.Long Text Metadata
We’ve also extended our metadata capabilities to get more out of Long Text Metadata, ideal for synopses, editorial notes, episode summaries, and more.
Just like standard metadata fields linked to files, assets, or catalog entries, long text fields are now fully supported and easy to manage. You can add or edit these fields with advanced options such as:
Setting a maximum character length
Controlling whether duplicate values are allowed within the same language
Ensuring user input stays compliant with editorial or delivery standards
This gives you more flexibility and control—without sacrificing consistency or quality.
Efficient, automated Metadata Management for every standard
From ingestion to distribution, metadata travels with your media—and KMH supports every step. This is an addition to features that are already in the platform that compliment each other to support your metadata management through every step of the media supply chain:
Enriching: Pull metadata from producers, extract technical specs, and enrich with AI or databases like IMDb or TVDB. KMH helps you centralize and elevate your metadata.
Structuring: Forget scattered spreadsheets and disorganized fields. Knox Media Hub lets you organize your metadata in a structured, consistent way within your centralized library. Apply logic, standardization, and structure across your library, making it easier to search, reuse, and scale. We explain our approach to smart metadata structuring in this article.
Delivering: Finally, all that clean, enriched metadata is ready for delivery. Use platform-specific templates and our Pipelines module to automate exports and delivery, ensuring every partner or platform gets the right metadata, in the right format, every time.
