NEP Group has chosen Signiant Media Shuttle to enable accelerated file-based operations across its fleet of OB trucks, Studios and Flypacks. With this solution, NEP clients will easily move media assets and associated metadata to and from the venue.

The complexity of sports workflows and the data payloads involved have both increased dramatically in recent years. More cameras create more content, higher resolutions result in larger files, and a large number of distribution partners are typically now in the mix. Nowadays, powerful tools are required to optimize file flow to and from the venue before, during, and after a live event. Media Shuttle makes easy to get content off the trucks and ingested into the desired storage or cloud-based platform, like NEP’s Mediabank media asset management platform.

“We’re always looking for smart ways to help our clients and production partners produce and deliver better content. Productions require a more simplified file delivery workflow to make more content available to production stakeholders, who are not necessarily on-site anymore”, explains NEP Group’s Jay Deutsch, Director of Media Solutions in the U.S. “Media Shuttle provides the flexibility to work with our newer IP and UHD trucks, plus our compact Flypack and Studio solutions, all of which can now easily leverage delivery of media to those not on-site at the production.  This is a real game changer for our clients looking for more efficient means of content archive than removable hard drives”.
