Lifetime Goes Bi-Coastal With Signiant

摘要

Cable programmer Lifetime Networks is now using a file-based distribu-tion system from Burlington, Mass.-based Signiant to deliver promos and graphics between its New York technical hub and its post-production team in Century City, Calif. Signiant makes software that manages and optimizes the delivery of digital media over wide-area networks; the software is already used by large media concerns such as NBC Universal, NFL Films and the National Hockey League. Lifetime is using Signiant's Digital Media Distribution Management suite to control the delivery of both high-definition and standard-definition content over a dedicated 1 gigabit-per-second IP link that Lifetime maintains between its file-based New York program-and-dis-tribution facility and the brand-new post-production facility it completed this summer in Century City.
