Dalet deploys 7×24 news production and playout around the world 

Las Vegas, NV – April 24, 2006 – Dalet is making its mark within broadcast industry by successfully deploying several 7×24, end-to-end news production and playout solutions at broadcasters located throughout the world. BFM TV (Paris, France), ETV (Johannesburg, South Africa) Sarasota News Now (Florida, USA) and Russia Today (Moscow, Russia) have all installed the DaletPlus News Suite solution to manage their entire news production process; multi-channel ingest, newsroom computing, editing, scheduling/planning, on-air playout and archiving.

“Where as others have pieced together technologies to link together functionality, Dalet has developed from the ground up a solution that offers the simplicity of one application yet the effectiveness of an entire suite of products,” comments, David Lasry, chief executive officer, Dalet. “The acceptance of such a cutting edge approach to building a newsroom operation has been well received and several more broadcasters are looking to Dalet to bring their operations together. It truly has been a remarkable year.”

BFM, ETV, RTTV and SNN – 7 days a week, 24 hours a day

The Dalet integration provides BFM TV, ETV, Sarasota News Now and Russia Today with a complete tapeless environment, enabling them to deliver news programs, both live and pre-produced, 7-days a week, 24-hours a day, nationwide via Digital Terrestrial Television, as well as cable, satellite and DSL. Dalet’s flexible technology also provides each station with multi-location production capabilities.
