Unifying the Platform to Streamline Content Flow

Those who’ve been with us for a while might recognize several milestones. Starting with the 2012 launch of our first SaaS product, Media Shuttle, which made sending and sharing large files fast and easy; then, a few years ago, we added Jet to bring powerfully simple automation allowing customers to manage any content flow operation from one unified platform; and last year, we introduced Media Engine, our media management service that lets you search, preview, and interact with media assets across all your Signiant-connected storage.

This year, Signiant showcased its platform’s transformative potential, highlighting how its products and services streamline content flow across the media supply chain. Broadcasters, production houses, sports leagues, and others are using the Signiant Platform creatively to improve efficiency and adapt to evolving industry demands.

Bringing It All Together

Signiant’s suite of SaaS products  — Media Shuttle, Jet, and Media Engine — offers an integrated approach to solving modern content flow challenges. When used together, combining their capabilities, organizations can optimize workflows, foster seamless collaboration, and work with assets efficiently across distributed teams and storage environments.

Together, these products can solve a wide variety of challenges, such as in:

• 

  Global Live Sports Broadcasting: Broadcasters can use Media Shuttle for rapid content sharing among field teams, Jet for automated onsite game footage to production headquarters while the event is in progress, and Media Engine to locate and retrieve specific clips for highlights quickly.

• 

  Feature Film Post-Production: Studios can streamline the editing process by transferring large dailies and VFX files via Media Shuttle, synchronizing project files between teams with Jet, and using Media Engine for production teams to search across terabytes of footage stored in different locations.

• 

  Multi-Platform Content Distribution: Distributors can automate content delivery to multiple platforms and regions using Jet, manage last-minute content changes with Media Shuttle, and efficiently employ Media Engine to organize and access a vast library of media assets.

A Single Pane of Glass Across All Your Storage 

In 2024, we continued to enhance the Signiant Platform by expanding Media Engine’s capabilities, further unifying visibility and access to all your media assets through a single pane of glass.

Now, you can quickly access and utilize content across all Signiant-connected storage without moving or ingesting files – just leave them where they are in any of your storage locations. This streamlined approach ensures that anyone who needs to use the content can do so efficiently and effectively, regardless of where or how the assets are stored. Benefits include:

1. Federated Search Across Storage Locations: Search all on-premises and cloud storage from a single interface.
2. Enhanced Directory Navigation: Intuitively browse Media Shuttle portal or Jet endpoint folders and subfolders hierarchies.
3. Proxyless Media Preview with No Ingest Required: Preview media directly in its storage location without the need to create or store proxies.
4. Clip and Send: Create new clips from longer assets, saving time and egress fees rather than downloading or sending the entire file.
5. Metadata Inspection: Access and review metadata associated with your media files for accurate asset management.

The Power of a Unified Platform

This year’s advancements further reinforce Signiant’s commitment to innovation and efficiency. By uniting powerfully simple media management with fast and reliable file transfer, the Signiant Platform addresses the complexities of modern content flow with unmatched agility and reliability. Whether it’s live sports broadcasting, feature film post-production, or multi-platform distribution, the collective power of Signiant’s solutions provides a scalable, integrated approach to overcoming challenges and unlocking new possibilities.
