Despite the rapid advances in Information Technologies (IT), video compression and desktop processing power, most digital solutions for television available today are based on dated designs and cumbersome architectures. Scripting, video editing and browse applications use separate databases, user interfaces and administration modules. Maintenance is difficult and expensive. Automation systems do an adequate job handling ingest and play-out, but do little to reduce the manual operations in between. Valuable metadata, vital in fully leveraging the benefits of digital production, is lost or simply not captured, requiring expensive and time-consuming manual data entry to compensate. The net result is islands of old-school technology hampered by forced workarounds.
Dalet Digital Media Systems offers a comprehensive set of products based on open standards to help broadcasters move to the digital era and implement paperless newsrooms, tapeless production workflows or modern archive systems. Dalet digital media systems take advantage of the latest, high-performance, mission critical IT technology to deliver unparalleled interoperability, “log-on anywhere” access and innovative workflow options. All Dalet products are client-server software based applications based on industry standards including Microsoft Advanced Server, Microsoft SQL 32 and 64 bits and XML based messaging. Dalet products leverage IT clustering, networking and storage technologies along with best-of-breed, modern broadcast equipment to ensure 24/7 mission critical operations.
The resulting platforms allow for drastically improved workflows. Source material, work in progress and finished packages are shared and instantly available on the desktop . . . or remotely through a standard web browser. Journalists and editors produce more stories and packages in less time with unique rights-managed workflow tools that enhance newsroom collaboration and productivity. Metadata is captured automatically, reducing the burden of manual data entry and accelerating access to online or archived material. Further, Dalet integrated asset management and archive capabilities enable quick access to online, near online and offline libraries allowing broadcasters to replace expensive and cumbersome analogue libraries with fast-access, compact digital ones.
