The Signiant Platform significantly enhances live production by enabling fast, collaborative access to content, streamlining production timelines, and reducing operational expenses.
When we think about sports production, we often focus on the ‘live’ action. However, today’s sports broadcasters rely heavily on a vast amount of file-based content before, during, and after the game.
Prior to the live action, an enormous volume of content must be delivered to the production site, including pre-recorded interviews, highlights from previous matches, and graphics packages.
Distributed teams working on highlight clips have deadlines measured in seconds. Content must move quickly to remote editors and then back to the production site for broadcast playout, the jumbotron, and social media.
Immediately following the game, quickly shutting down the site and transferring all footage off-site and into archive saves time and money. The faster the production can strike down, the more it saves on rentals and staff hours.
Effectively manage the fast-paced environment of live sports production with the Signiant Platform. Its accelerated person-initiated and system-to-system transfers enable efficient handling of large volumes of content between field crews, OB trucks, production headquarters, sponsors, and news agencies. Signiant’s patented intelligent transfer gives more time for producers to enhance coverage quality and time to respond to unfolding events, creating a more compelling viewing experience.
Connect remote teams and field crews regardless of network connectivity or distances. The Signiant Platform’s advanced file transfer technology outperforms legacy and consumer tools by not limiting file sizes or charging by bandwidth used. Beyond fast file transfers, Media Engine enables producers and editors to view and take action on content from any Signiant-connected storage without sending it, facilitating real-time collaboration, quick turnarounds, and superior content creation.
Meet the growing demand from media rights licensees who need more content faster, enhancing the value of local events and creating more revenue opportunities. The Signiant Platform enables efficient transfer and access, with self-service capabilities to find, review, send, and clip footage. Its notification and chain of custody features confirm when rights holders receive and download contractual footage, ensuring secure and accountable media distribution.
Scale with the growing needs of sports content production and distribution. The Signiant Platform’s cloud-native SaaS architecture dynamically adjusts to surging data volumes, new partners, and more events while ensuring quick, seamless, and secure access to global content. This scale-out architecture enhances file transfer efficiency, minimizing bottlenecks and reducing system failures, enabling sports organizations to quickly capitalize on new opportunities and global audience markets profitably.
Simplify sponsor and advertising content submissions with an automated process designed to reduce waste. Media Shuttle Submit portals provide a secure, one-way path for partners to upload content, which is automatically pre-validated by CloudSpeX against your specifications. This reduces the number of incorrect files in the supply chain, minimizes manual checks, and eliminates wasted effort on incorrect submissions, thereby streamlining the content process.
Protect proprietary sports media assets with the Signiant Platform using advanced encryption for secure files in transit, strict access controls for authorized user access, and continuous monitoring. The platform goes through with one of the most prestigious third-party security firms and adheres to industry standards.
The Signiant Platform accelerates content delivery, giving more time to creatives, reducing delays, and lowering overtime costs. It supports sending growing files back to headquarters, reducing the need for onsite personnel and accommodation expenses.
Signiant’s storage independence allows live sports producers and broadcasters to use the storage of their choice. This gives sports organizations the agility to mix, match or change storage types that work best for their businesses — on-premises or in the cloud.
Media Engine — the 20% of media management everyone actually needs — is built into the Signiant Platform. Easily make assets accessible and searchable by remote teams to find content and take action on it.
Integrate with popular live production tools from Adobe, Avid, Dalet, EVS, and Telestream. NEP Group’s inclusion of the Signiant Platform in their production infrastructure further enhances live sports production, enabling accelerated file-based operations across their OB trucks, studios, and flypacks fleet.
Resume interrupted transfers from the point of failure with checkpoint restart capabilities. This minimizes the need for staff staying late and redoing work.
