Press Releases

Paris, France – February, 5 2003 – Dalet® Digital Media Systems, a leading
provider of media management tools, today announced the newest addition to the DaletPlus suite of solutions – DaletPlus ActiveLog. DaletPlus ActiveLog is a feature rich software package for large scale media ingesting, monitoring, cataloging, and archiving.

“DaletPlus ActiveLog takes the -proven Dalet Asset Management technology to new markets,” said David Amselem, vice president of marketing and product strategy, Dalet Digital Media Systems. “Courts, parliaments, long distance learning organizations, postproduction houses, universities and organizations that need to manage mass amounts of media can all benefit from DaletPlus ActiveLog’s comprehensive media management tool set. Such organizations can streamline the process in which they record, store and distribute their audio and video media assets – greatly maximizing financial, human and space resources.”

Developed for standard IT hardware, DaletPlus ActiveLog is a cost effective solution that eliminates the need for tapes and time consuming tape management. Its user friendly interface emulates standard recording and transcribing functionality, while providing powerful search and retrieval capabilities, enabling instant access to information – even while recording.

United States Senate and Scottish Parliament Place Orders

Several organizations see the value in implementing a digital media management tool and have invested early in the DaletPlus ActiveLog solution. Both the United States Senate and the Scottish Parliament have ordered DaletPlus ActiveLog to manage the massive amounts of video, audio, and metadata captured from their proceedings.

“DaletPlus ActiveLog provides a way to record all of the Scottish Parliament’s proceedings easily and effectively – they can even review the materials as they are being recorded,” comments Alexis Rowell, managing director for Dalet UK. “Staff members will be able to access digital recordings of all parliamentary sessions and committee proceedings right from their desktop computers. This enables them to retrieve, edit and distribute important materials rapidly. They’ll no longer have to go through tapes manually to locate information – the time savings are huge.”

The benefits of DaletPlus ActiveLog are many and diverse. Quick access to
information increases the efficiency in which organizations can locate and disseminate time sensitive materials. The fault tolerant architecture and tapeless environment greatly reduce errors – protecting the quality and integrity of valuable media assets. Ultimately organizations become more cost efficient due to the time and budget that was once used to order, stock and manage tapes.

An End To End Solution

Designed to manage the complete lifecycle of audio and video material for organizations such as courts, parliaments, universities, post production facilities, corporations and non-profit organizations who need to manage large amounts of media, DaletPlus ActiveLog can be tailored to fit the workflow for each of these
environments.

“As a systems integrator focused on the leading edge of technology, we have struggled with video and audio asset management for years. Too many systems have only part of the solution and to make them work, you have to cobble together several packages from several manufacturers. In contrast, the
DaletPlus ActiveLog solution provides a powerful and flexible feature set for any
facility that needs to manage and use many kinds of media in many different
ways,” said Tom Atkins, vice president of TGS. “We have put DaletPlus solutions to work with clients as diverse as The U. S. Senate, Washington and Lee University, NPR and Voice of America. With DaletPlus solutions, our clients end up with systems that do what they want to do, the way they want to do it, and at the same time, simplifies both the workflow and the learning curve.”
