PARTNER IN FOCUS
WE TAKE CARE OF THE ONBOARDING AND DELIVERIES WHILE YOU FOCUS ON SALES AND ACQUISITIONS!
We take care of onboarding of new titles, securely store all assets, provide quality control and deliver them directly to the buyers anywhere in the world, using Signiant Media Shuttle.
However, we are much more than just a digital lab. Instead of waiting for our client to ask ask whether we can deliver to “This New VOD Platform”, or provide “This New Service”, we look into the future, research and invest into development of new technologies, and always stay ahead of the curve.
We develop anti-piracy content protection workflows, provide forensic secure screeners, and make sure our clients’ assets are protected through the life cycle. We would love to setup a meeting with you during AFM - either in Santa Monica or at our office in West Hollywood, or your office/suite/booth! Email: bizdev@lightvault.io to setup an appointment!
