Case Study: Corbel 3D (Pixel Light Effects) achieves simple, fast, secure file transfers and major time savings with Signiant Media Shuttle

Corbel 3D and Pixel Light Effects’ Leap to Simple, Fast File Transfer

Corbel 3D and Pixel Light Effects, with offices in Vancouver and Beijing, specialize in high-volume photogrammetry and multi-camera 3D/4D capture for film, games and emerging AI/metaverse uses, serving clients such as Marvel and Netflix. Their shoots can produce massive datasets — up to 36 GB per second and millions of small files — and cross-border transfers required zipping/unzipping thousands of files, creating lengthy delays (often hours per step) that slowed post-production.

In 2021 they adopted Signiant Media Shuttle, which provides secure point-to-point transfers with pipelining that eliminates the need to zip files, dramatically cutting transfer times and saving as much as a day per transfer. The change delivered faster, scalable and more reliable workflows, reduced project delays, and strengthened client confidence in Corbel’s delivery capabilities.
