Editorial Content Image Device
It is possible to associate one or more images to a Content, so the operator is able to create contents and to associate different banner images to it. The idea behind having more than one image (banner - type = 3) linked to the Editorial Content is allowing the operator to filter by device type. This means that the relationship will be: Editorial Content - Image - Device Type. We would need also a default "device type", so that in case the operator don't want to distinguish among devices (or an specific one is not set) the default can be used.

Sample showed in the next image:
