Audiovisual media as a source presents characteristics that require proper processing and updating by information and communication professionals. Scientific literature shows a dispersion in the theoretical and methodological approach to the factors that affect the processing of audiovisual information and communication. This study aimed to: (a) identify the conceptions built around the processing of audiovisual information and communication, and (b) examine the metadata, formats, and standards present in audiovisual media as a source. Addressing this topic allows for the systematization and updating of knowledge about the technical-formal processes associated with audiovisual media and the demands/uses of users in a transmedia environment. The research is descriptive, focusing on identifying the principles related to the processing of audiovisual information, and it uses both theoretical and empirical methods to obtain results. Methods such as analytical-synthetic, historical-logical, and inductive-deductive are used at the theoretical level, while at the empirical level, classical document analysis is applied through the review of sources and specialized databases on relevant topics. Relevant results are identified, such as the role of the Audiovisual Production Researcher, a novel conception that integrates functions of management, search, and storage, covering the entire information life cycle. Additionally, the Visual Metric methodology is a key element in the analysis and understanding of audiovisual documents.
