NAB: Rimage Launches Signal Online Publishing to Push Secure Mobile Content, from Documents to Video

Content management and delivery solutions provider Rimage Corp. is launching at NAB this week the Rimage Signal Online Publishing platform, designed to enable media companies to push secure mobile content to nearly any mobile device or computer.

With the Signal platform, companies can publish content directly to their subscribers while applying security and usage policies to effectively manage and control their content, even when it is resident on subscribers’ devices and disconnected from the Internet. “We developed Signal as a solution for companies that need to carefully control their content — from entertainment studios to corporate communications,” says Sherman Black, Rimage chief executive. “TV, film, and post-production professionals need a solution like Signal for screeners and pre-release materials to publish digital content securely without being leaked. On the corporate communications side, Signal is perfect for board communications, mergers and acquisitions, meetings under NDA, or anything that requires sensitivity or control. Signal ensures that anything transmitted in a business setting stays with intended recipients and is the most current and relevant version.”

Companies using Signal choose which devices can receive content, how long the content is available, and the desired sequence of content playback. Companies also can change, grant, or revoke usage policies, and optionally delete content from subscribed devices. Intentional or unintentional sharing of secured content is eliminated, and outdated content can be swapped with new content automatically. In addition, Signal provides access to subscriber viewing analytics, enabling data driven, intelligent business decisions.

“Signal is a secure mobile content publishing platform in that it gives you control of your content even after it’s delivered, both online and offline,” said Samir Mittal, Rimage chief technology officer. “Signal Online Publishing gives publishers a direct and differentiated channel to their subscribers. Signal offers the publisher a way to keep content encrypted in-transit, at rest and during playback. Signal gives subscribers a positive experience no matter who or where subscribers are and regardless of Internet connectivity.”
