Portals for Every Use Case
Portals For Every Use Case
Employees, freelancers, clients and partners can access Media Shuttle portals from any web browser for an easy way to transfer files. Three types of portals can be created to address nearly every use case:
-
Share portals expose a file directory for multiple people to organize, browse, upload and download files.
-
Submit portals allow people to submit content into a single aggregation point.
-
Send portals are best for quickly sending someone a file — just enter their email address.
Intuitive Dashboard
Intuitive Dashboard
Media Shuttle’s intuitive dashboard gives portal administrators complete control over portal set up and customizations, members and member permissions.
-
Track file transfers, view transfer history, and utilize enterprise features such as single sign on with SAML, CloudSpeX and Metadata Entry.
Access Control
Access Control
Media Shuttle makes it easy to add portal members, restrict permissions, control access to content, and track member activity, so you always know who has access to which files.
-
Portal admins can also create and edit groups. And, for larger enterprises, Media Shuttle supports user authentication using SAML 2.0, allowing employees to securely log into any portal using their corporate account credentials.
Storage
Storage Choice
With Media Shuttle, you’ll maintain storage independence, controlling the choice of storing your content on-premises or in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Storage.
-
Allocate the same storage location for all of your portals or different storage for each portal, and move content between storage locations on a strategic basis. For example, use Media Shuttle as a fast cloud ingest portal for archives and backups.
Customization
Portal Customization
Media Shuttle customers can create and customize an unlimited number of send, share or submit portals for different projects, partners, teams or workflows.
-
Customize each portal design with your or your client’s brand colors, logo and image background to create a professional, visually appealing experience.
Language Support
Language Support
Media Shuttle supports multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese or Italian, which can be configured on a portal or individual member basis.
-
For international clients or employees with a native language other than your own, Media Shuttle automatically translates any written text within the portal to the specified language.
CloudSpeX
CloudSpeX
CloudSpeX is a Media Shuttle enterprise feature that pre-validates files before they are sent based on industry-defined format requirements or custom criteria that you decide, such as file format, aspect ratio and frame rate.
-
CloudSpeX dramatically lowers rejection rates associated with the receipt of improperly formatted files or incorrect file types, and helps to manage the volume and complexity of today’s multiplatform delivery specifications.
Custom Metadata
Metadata Entry
A Media Shuttle enterprise feature, metadata entry allows end users to populate predefined fields with information describing the file they are about to share.
-
System administrators can define fields for any parameter – such as language or shooting location – to ensure that all of the necessary information is captured.
Any Device
Send and Share from Any Device
While most users engage with Signiant systems via an installed application and download the Signiant App to take advantage of accelerated transport, there are some situations where this is impractical.
-
App-less transfers allows authorized users to access files from anywhere, on any device, without any special software installed.
APIs
APIS
Media Shuttle has two APIs for IT organizations and integrators:
-
Management API automates repetitive and manual tasks such as portal creation, storage assignment, user creation and transfer status.
-
System-to-Person Automation API makes it easy to incorporate Media Shuttle into automated content distribution and acquisition workflows.
