With Media Engine, Signiant technology indexes your existing files on your existing storage. When indexing is done – start searching. If search terms match the metadata associated with assets in your Signiant-enabled storage, Media Engine will find them. Unlike legacy MAM systems, there’s no need to re-ingest your media or align with a structured metadata schema. And Media Engine scales automatically as your content environment evolves.

Media Engine doesn’t just find media formats. We know that production people need to find and work with PDFs, JPEGs and TIFFS along with their MXFs and .MOVs.

Not sure that’s the file you’re looking for? Viewing a bit of video is often the most efficient means of checking, and Media Engine lets you do this without downloading the heavy asset. We support a very broad range of professional media formats, and frame-accurate proxies are coming soon.

Proxies are accessible to 3rd-party services via API, and the resulting metadata can be returned to the Signiant Platform ⎯ also via API. Try out processes like object recognition, facial recognition, or transcription in a low-friction, non-disruptive manner.

Once you have found the file you’re looking for and confirmed that it’s the right one, you might need to download it immediately, or get it in the hands of another party in your ecosystem. This is easy via an integration with Media Shuttle, the Signiant SaaS product designed for person-initiated transfers.

This functionality, commonly known as Partial File Restore, is particularly critical in cloud workflows. Egress charges will be lower when users download targeted segments rather than the entire asset, and you will also save valuable time.
