“Media Distillery has proven a great partner for Telenet; we recognise the ongoing value of our collaboration. By deploying EPG Correction Distillery™ and Image Distillery™, we further enhance our UX.” - Ivor Micallef, Director of Entertainment Products at Telenet.
Image DistilleryTM uses AI to dynamically and automatically generate appealing and informative still images for Telenet, representing any broadcast TV programme, for display within the service’s UI. High-quality, attractive representational UI imagery leads to better subscriber engagement and satisfaction. Telenet subscribers now benefit from over 3.000 attractive and engaging images generated daily which represent programmes in the UI thanks to a fully automated, AI-driven system by Media Distillery.
