MovieLabs Industry Forum Welcomes Signiat as New Member
MovieLabs and Signiant Collaborate to Shape the Future of Media Workflows
MovieLabs, a collaborative initiative by major Hollywood studios, has welcomed Signiant as a member of its Industry Forum. This collaboration aims to establish common, interoperable solutions that will help meet the challenges of tomorrow's media industry [1].
The MovieLabs Industry Forum encourages members to collaborate on defining common industry goals and developing new standards for media workflows. One such goal is the MovieLabs 2030 Vision, a transformative roadmap that outlines key principles for transforming the media production landscape [2].
The MovieLabs 2030 Vision envisions a future of interoperable, secure, and seamless media workflows. It includes principles such as secure cloud-based workflows, automation, and flexible software-defined architectures [2]. Signiant, a leading provider of intelligent SaaS solutions for the media and entertainment industry, has been implementing many of these core principles for years [3].
Signiant's Chief Technology Officer, Ian Hamilton, stated that the company has been implementing the core principles of the MovieLabs 2030 Vision for years. Securely Internet-connecting customer storage and facilitating collaboration and data exchange are fundamental to Signiant's SaaS platform [3].
Richard Berger, CEO of MovieLabs, expressed pleasure about Signiant joining the forum. Berger noted that Signiant's expertise and innovative approach will be valuable in achieving the 2030 Vision's objectives [1].
Signiant has recently published a paper sharing its own perspective on the MovieLabs 2030 Vision. The paper can be found on the MovieLabs website [4]. In the paper, Signiant discusses how its own production and post-production supply chain experience informs its support for the 2030 Vision.
Newer platform innovations enable seamless 'like local' interaction with globally distributed media assets, without duplicating files [5]. This is a critical aspect of the 2030 Vision, as it allows for more efficient and secure media workflows.
The MovieLabs Industry Forum provides a collaborative space for media companies to implement the 2030 Vision. Members benefit from VIP access to industry events, participation in working groups, collaboration on testing software and services, early access to prerelease documents, best practices, and specifications, and use of exclusive marketing and branding aligned with the 2030 Vision principles [1].
In summary, the collaboration between MovieLabs and Signiant is a significant step towards realizing the MovieLabs 2030 Vision. By working together, these two industry leaders aim to establish interoperable, secure, and seamless media workflows that will transform the media production landscape [1].
