Signiant cartoon debuts at NAB 2007

Without spoiling the drama of the premier of Signiant’s animation for NAB 2007, we’d like to introduce you to the main character — or should I say characters — in the story.

We think this guy is like a lot of people in the media and entertainment industry struggling to manage file-based workflows. We hope you’ll stop by booth SU9027 to see how closely this maps to your experience. Just fill in this form and we’ll set up a private meeting for you at NAB 2007 to learn more about digital media distribution management for your company.

First, meet “Tom.” He’s the dude who has to deal with the explosion of digital media. As you can see, it’s taken a bit of a toll on him.

Here’s the dude we call “M-Tom .” Wait’ll you see the powerful things M-Tom does to manage the explosion of digital media and make life better for everyone in the company. Suave is only the beginning of what we think of M-Tom.

With apologies to those who prefer propeller-head metaphors, here’s “Aut-Tom.” Aut-Tom has nifty push buttons for ears because he’s the dude that automates all those workflows. Get it? Just “push the button.” (Check out Digital Media Galaxy podcast #7 to learn more about why I think Aut-Tom is the Tom-to-be.)

Green means go. And to “A-Tom,” it means accelerate content across the network in the most effective way possible. Watch out for this dude when you see the animation at NAB 2007…he could be flying by.

This is “S-Tom.” And, no, he’s not gonna give A-Tom a ticket. We’ve all got security on our minds when we use the ‘net. But A-Tom takes it to a level never before seen. This guy is like those super-secret government security people: he knows what it takes to make sure content is there and untampered with.

I hope you enjoyed meeting our Toms. Please stop by Signiant’s booth — SU9027 — at NAB 2007 to see the completed animation. You’re gonna laugh — you might even cry in empathy — and you’re sure to have a good time. We’re out to make your NAB visit as much fun as it is informative. Remember: if you want to see how the clever people who made this animation can help you solve some very nasty challenges in the digital media revolution, you gotta fill in this form.

Episode #7 is an overview of Signiant Digital Media Distribution Management Suite’s automation capabilities.

Not to be confused with “broadcast automation,” Tom Ohanian describes how tasks are combined into workflows which are then managed across the enterprise by Signiant.
