Platform Updates
The Signiant Platform is going dark — dark mode that is. Dark mode reduces power, can help reduce eye strain, and is more visually appealing. The Signiant console’s light/dark mode automatically follows your computer’s system settings.
On-demand play and clipping will be generally available in mid-January! On-demand play feature allows users to play a variety of media formats without having to pre-generate and store proxies — allowing for more diligent reviews before pulling down a heavy asset. Clipping allows users to mark in and out points to select a portion of a media asset. Saving time and egress costs, this ability is generally known as partial file restore in the industry.
