SIGNIANT: THE GAME CHANGER IN CORBEL 3D'S FILE TRANSFER JOURNEY

Corbel 3D, renowned for its photogrammetry services in the entertainment sector, grappled with significant data transfer challenges, particularly with 4D scans producing up to 36 GB per second.

The conventional approach of managing countless small files via zipping led to substantial delays, impacting operations between their Vancouver and Beijing branches. The integration of Signiant Media Shuttle in 2021 streamlined this process by removing the need for file compression, dramatically cutting down transfer times and boosting workflow efficiency. This shift not only saved valuable time but also enhanced Corbel's standing in the industry, providing secure and rapid data transfers supporting their growth into Al, metaverse, and other cutting-edge applications.

Corbel 3D, located in Vancouver and Beijing, is known for its expertise in photogrammetry. It uses self-engineered multi-camera arrays to capture high-quality, highvolume 3D and 4D for applications ranging from motion pictures and video games to emerging markets like AI, metaverse, and potential medical applications. Their brand, Pixel Light Effects, attracts media and entertainment clients like Marvel’s Deadpool 2 and Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

THE CHALLENGE

Corbel faced significant challenges transferring large amounts of data, particularly with 4D scans, which generate as much as 36 GB of data per second. This was exacerbated when working with their office in Beijing, where they needed to zip and unzip thousands or millions of small files, causing lengthy delays at each end of the process.

THE SOLUTION

Corbel began exploring better file transfer delivery options, eventually adopting Signiant in 2021. Signiant Media Shuttle is a crucial infrastructure element for Corbel, streamlining their 3D and 4D transfer operations by reducing the time it takes for them to work, eliminating the need to zip files, and saving them almost a whole day for each transfer.
