Dalet NewsPro 2.0

Turnkey production for MOS compliant newsrooms

Home page > Television > NewsPro

Overview

Dalet NewsPro 2.0 is a turnkey production platform for MOS compliant newsrooms. It covers the whole ingest and production workflow: from tape and feed ingest, to shot selections and desktop editing. The embedded Dalet MOS gateway offers instantaneous playlist integration with leading newsroom computer systems such as Associated Press ENPS.

Authorized users can ingest material from their workstation and trigger feed recordings on a central video server or on distributed Dalet Video FIFO recorders. As material is received, it is simultaneously stored on a cost-effective, high performance production storage system and a low bit rate proxy generated on the fly. Seconds after a recording begins, media can be opened for viewing, tagging and editing by any authorized Dalet NewsPro user. Because Dalet NewsPro is based on core Dalet media asset management technology, metadata is consistently tracked at all steps of the workflow. Using simple browsing or sophisticated search tools, staff can review material using Dalet Media Logger on their desktops, and edit any file with the Dalet Media Cutter desktop editor. Fine-tuned for news, Dalet Media Cutter is fast enough for editing voice-overs and refined enough to put together a reporter package. Combined with the Dalet Collaborative Clipbin and with back-office Dalet Rendering Servers, it makes workgroup editing a breeze. Customizable status management facilitates the implementation of a consistent review cycle, guaranteeing that only approved material makes it to air. Finally, because Dalet NewsPro was specifically designed for journalists and linear editors, it’s easy to learn and simple to master.
