Signiant

At Signiant, we pride ourselves on ease of use and providing a great user experience for all of our products. So much that we have an in-house UX Designer working side by side with our engineering, product, and marketing teams. While I’ve been working closely with Ryan since he came on board at the end of last year, I finally had the opportunity to sit down with him to learn a bit more about UX and how he applies it to everything he does.

With our deep roots supporting the M&E sector, and its common need to move large files over distance, it is easy to forget that Signiant has long had customers from other industries. Often utilizing very different data types, workflows and tools – and typically involved in products and services utterly unlike those in the media space – many of these industries nevertheless share M&E’s need for fast, reliable, and secure solutions for the movement of their valuable data.

After months of preparation the annual convention of the National Association of Broadcasters has come and gone. It’s no surprise that the theme of this year’s show centered around media, entertainment, and technology (NAB dubs it The M.E.T Effect ). It was clear, on and off the show floor, that the need for speed is more important than ever before.

Signiant announces a joint demonstration with Media Links, the market leader in media over IP transport solutions, in the Media Links booth, SU5021 at NAB 2017, to transport mission-critical media files.

Heading to NAB there’s always anticipation about what trends and technology highlights will emerge. While many conversations are likely to centre on developments and the uptake of VR and AR technology, the continued growth of digital content creation also warrants discussion on how to support complex workflows including the storage, movement and security of large media files.
