Case Study: NFL achieves faster secure HD media transfers with Signiant

NFL Network Scores with Signiant’s Digital Media Movement Software

The NFL Network faced the challenge of efficiently moving and managing nearly 50 hours of game footage weekly to produce shows like NFL Replay under extremely tight deadlines. They needed to securely transfer this high-definition content across a bi-coastal operation spanning 3,000 miles, all while reducing physical distribution and labor costs. To meet this challenge, they implemented a digital media distribution management solution from Signiant.

Signiant's technology provided a secure, high-speed Wide Area Network to move massive HD files between NFL Films in New Jersey and NFL Network editors in California. This solution enabled real-time transfers, allowing editors to meet last-minute deadlines and incorporate more clips. The results included a significant reduction in post-production time and cost, an increase in the quality and efficiency of programming, and freed-up employee time for other tasks, helping the entire business run more efficiently.
