Case Study: Definition 6 achieves secure, continuous remote post-production during COVID-19 with Signiant Media Shuttle

Definition 6 Navigates COVID with Signiant Media Shuttle

Definition 6 is a New York– and Atlanta–based creative and digital services agency that handles large, terabyte-scale media projects for broadcasters and streaming partners. When COVID-19 forced staff and vendors to work remotely, the company faced the challenge of securely managing massive asset flows, controlling external access for contractors and clients, and keeping post‑production moving without relying on insecure FTPs or shipped drives.

By deploying Signiant Media Shuttle—integrated with on‑prem and AWS storage—Definition 6 created portal‑based workflows that grant time‑limited, folder‑level access to editors, vendors and clients, track activity, and simplify archiving. The result: uninterrupted remote production, faster and more secure transfers (supporting dozens of concurrent internal and external users), reduced drive shipping, expanded services, and greater client confidence during and after the pandemic.
