SHAZAM EXTEND: 3 SIMPLE STEPS

Audio is the main component in making your campaign Shazamable. In order for us to create a
Shazam for TV campaign we will need all audio files associated with your campaign in .WAV
format
All of the audios must be final versions, inclusive of voiceover
If your campaign contains any form of music…
Slight changes must be applied to the audio in order to differentiate this from the standard Shazam music result. This
process is called ‘Pitch Shifting’. (For more information on Pitch Shifting please see appendix)
Please note - only 4 unique levels of pitch shift are ever available for one campaign. This is only relevant if you
require separate tracking between channels (e.g. : Cinema, TV, Web, Radio)
Please be aware!
Along with the CTA files that Shazam create and send, the pitchshifted audio files need to be layered onto your final
TV commercials in order for the experience to work. Once this is done, the amended commercials must be sent off
for approval to local TV regulation authorities (Clearcast in the UK etc.), if applicable. Please allow time for this.
The pitch shifting process can occasionally alter overall volume by fractions of a decibel and unintentionally push it
over acceptable broadcast levels. If this happens you are free to alter the volume levels back down AS LONG AS the
pitch is left untouched. Please liaise with Shazam team for advice.

A full screen unit at Retina Resolution is:
 640w x 1008h (Initial tag, with no bottom nav)
 640w x 910h (viewing tag result from My Tags with bottom nav)
A Full Screen unit at Non retina would be:
 320w x 504h (no bottom nav)
 320w x 455h (with bottom nav)
(Though building for Retina is always recommended. The suggestion is that units
should be made taller but with scrolling enabled whenever possible.)
A full screen iPad unit at Retina Resolution is:
 PORTRAIT: 768px(1536)x890px(1780)
 LANDSCAPE: 924px(1848)x704px(1408)
For initial load it's best practice to keep it between 400kb-700kb. For a single page
unit we recommend under 1mb, but pages can then be built on top of this.
For multiple page units its best to use your own discretion considering this is going
to load on mobile phones.No bottom Nav

HTML5 SPECS: CLIENT BUILD (RouteA)

Please ensure your site/builds servers are capable and able to handle up to 2000 requests per
second. Keep hosting in mind when developing pages, and aim to optimise the size of the pages
in order to limit the workloads of the servers. Be careful about image sizes, fonts and the loading
elements on the visits. An acceptable size is between 500kb to 1MB.
We have campaigns that have had a 40% ‘loading fail’
The in-app browser (safari/chrome) does not support the following features:
 Apps hosted within Facebook
 Photo/video uploads
 Landscape view
 MP3 downloads
If your direct-to-full-screen/html5 or mobile destination contains any of the above we will need to
launch the link externally so that it loads within the native browser on the users mobile device.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to program an external launch from the point of tagging, however
we have 4 ways in which we can work around this.
DIRECT TO SITE/HTML5: PLEASE CONSIDER

‘What’s this Song?’

Full QA testing is essential to aid campaign’s overall success. Purpose of the testing period is to eliminate
any hidden glitches across all major platforms, ensuring smooth running of all features & providing detailed
feedback to maximize the effectiveness of the creative. Stages involved are:
1
• Recognition success rate of all audios associated with the campaign against
Shazam database across relevant language / region settings
2
• All Track IDs associated with the campaign are verified in Shazam’s reporting tools
3
• Functionality of all features in the tag result is tested across major devices
including tablets
4
• Improvements recommendations phase
5
• Shazam internal / client sign off
QA: TESTING PROCESS

Audio upload for recognition
In order for your Shazam for TV campaign to be Shazamable, we need to have good quality audio for your advert.
Once audio is submitted to Shazam, you must not make changes to it.
* this excludes any changes that are made to the volume. Volume changes will not affect Shazam’s recognition ability.
The audio used in the campaign should be provided in the following formats:
• Preferred format: .wav (Stereo, 16 bit)
• Other audio formats accepted but may require additional time: mp3 (192 kbps or higher, constant bit rate only) or .mov
Additional tracks will be subject to change
Pitch shifting
Shazam may need to perform pitch shifting on your audio. Let’s go through what this means:
Shazam needs to test each audio source to see whether it returns a commercial music tag or not. If it does, we will pitch shift the audio and return this back to you for you to overlay on the final TVC for the SFTV
experience to work.
We shift the pitch by +/- 1% - This equates to 17 cents. There are 100 cents in a semitone (the distance between 2 notes on a standard piano). The difference is about a 5th of the space between 2 notes on a piano
Don’t worry about your audio sounding different after pitch shifting. Changes made as a result of the pitch shifting process are inaudible to the human ear
If no pitch shifting is required Shazam will ingest the audio files as supplied
Cinema audio
Cinema adverts in Dolby 5:1 surround will be made up of 6 stems of audio (1 for each speaker)- Centre, Left, Left surround, Back, Right, Right surround.
In order for your Cinema ad to be Shazam’able, each individual stem must be pitch shifted and ingested into our system.
These will need to be tested before and after the picture is locked to final sound. We advise renting a Dolby suite to test in a Cinema environment prior to campaign launch.
! Please be aware!
Our pitch shifting process can sometimes affect the overall volume of audio by fractions of a decibel. When working with carefully mixed and mastered files, for Cinema ads especially, there is potential for the volume
to be unintentionally altered to a point where it is no longer within broadcast levels. There are 3 avenues in which we can go down to try and avoid these problems:
Shazam receive and pitch shift PRE-MASTERED audio files. Once audios have been returned back to you, the final mix can be carried out.
Shazam agree a pitch shift value that YOU incorporate into your final mix
We pitch shift and return FINAL audio files to which you then amend any undesired fluctuations in volume
* The same scenario can sometimes occur with TV audio. If you have strict specifications to adhere to it is advisable that you leave extra time for audio work to be completed
Time frames
Audio files will need to be sent over at least 7 days before a campaign is due to go live.
For Cinema adverts we require double the amount of time, 14 days, due to the larger number of audio files and testing that is required.
PITCH SHIFTING : IN DETAIL

Cropping the 800x800 is unique to the operating system and phone model. Although large parts of the image are
cropped these are partially visible on some devices as well as ‘My Tags’ image, so it is important to maintain
visual fidelity even in the cropped areas. Because of the text overlays, it is important to limit the text and logos in
the main image. Text and logos should be positioned only in the ‘safe’ areas toward the top center of the image.
See below:
Please speak to your Client Services manager for full details on the 800x800 and a psd template to test your image.
