Dalet OnAir provides flexible automation for news and live shows as well as for single-channel operations. It streamlines playout by providing a single user interface to ensure error-free broadcasts. Multiple broadcast channels each with distinct broadcast studios can be setup. Each studio is assigned various resources such as video server ports, tape decks, computer graphics generators, still stores or router.
Dalet OnAir supports both operator controlled and automated playout. Thanks to its MOS and XML gateways, it can be dynamically updated by third-party newsrooms and traffic systems. The loading and triggering of a playlist is either automated or operator controlled. When needed, broadcast regulation rules ensure that actual playout respects a mandatory start time. In manual mode, several items within a single playlist can be chained so as to allow for these to be played out automatically once the first item of that chain has been selected by the operator. Each item in the playlist can embed graphics as secondary events; logo events are associated as pre-configured macros and automatic routing can apply. The playout of these secondary events is automated based on inserted time code information or left to the discretion of the operator. The screen layout as well as the look and feel is highly configurable: toolbars, counters, players, playlists, color coding can be customized to any environment. Both back-to-back playout and multiport rolling are supported and a unique video cart wall play-out interface drastically simplifies gallery operations for live shows.
