Signiant + Xytech... Maleable Media Moves (Software—SatBroadcasting™)


[SatNews] Signiant and Xytech have announced the integration of their flagship products.

The joint solution, which makes the secure digital media transfer capabilities of the Signiant Media Manager™ software available from within the Xytech MediaPulse facility and operations management system, will be demonstrated this week at the 2012 Hollywood Post Alliance (HPA) Technology Retreat.

Xytech’s MediaPulse platform is a comprehensive and feature-rich resource, work order and asset management solution for broadcasters, studios, media services companies, and transmission service providers that offers a full suite of planning, scheduling and financial management tools. Signiant Media Manager adds state-of-the-art capabilities for highly secure, fast and managed transfers of digital assets between content owners, post-production houses, distributors, and other media organizations.

Through the integration, Xytech customers will be able to automatically trigger the exchange of digital content from within the scheduling component of MediaPulse to advance workflow efficiencies and reduce the possibility of error. Users will also be able to manage and view the status of Signiant exchanges in real-time from within the MediaPulse interface, and those actions can be automatically included in the resource management workflow and converted into billable activities.
