Hard drives are now cheaper than video tape and an increasing number of broadcasters and production houses seek to take advantage of this new situation. Moving to a tapeless production environment probably constitutes one of the bigger challenges the media industry has ever faced:
Moving to a virtual carrier; the migration to a file-based production environment has a major impact on the organization. Processes that have been fine-tuned across past decades of best practices were based on physical carriers; today, they have become irrelevant and existing roles and attributions need to be redefined;
Opting for network-based production;
Addressing the challenge of metadata;
Understanding the requirements of mission-critical IT systems.
No one comes close to delivering a more intuitive media asset management solution than Dalet. DaletPlus Media Library is a purpose-built application whose core incorporates smart asset management technologies and workflows.
Dalet News Suite, Dalet Media Library and Dalet Enterprise Edition provide a number of key benefits to organizations considering the move to tapeless news and program production:
An open architecture; MOS + web services based API;
A flexible workflow engine;
Consistent, flexible metadata management;
Seamless media an wrapper conversion;
A number of broadcaster and program houses already take advantage of Dalet solutions to drive their tape-less workflows:
Fashion Show Media Network
Fashion Show Media Network implemented DaletPlus to manage media content and campaigns for its fashion retail complex, The Fashion Show, located on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. DaletPlus simultaneously schedules, choreographs, and synchronizes multi-channel playout, video signal routing, audio, projection, lighting, and more.
S4C
S4C, public broadcaster for Wales, chose DaletPlus Media Library to manage media and programs for their broadcast operations. DaletPlus Media Library enables the S4C staff to ingest media and programs directly to workstations via Blackmagic Decklink cards or to the Omneon server. As programs are dubbed, they are indexed into the DaletPlus Media Library’ asset manager and automatically stored on in the most appropriate place- this could be standard IT storage, a Ciprico NAS server, or the Omneon playout server. S4C has total of 15 DaletPlus Media Cutter editing workstations that allow the team to browse the Media Library catalogue, make slot selections, and export to final cut pro for promo production. Once finalized, promos are checked back into the DaletPlus Media Library catalogue.
The Weather Channel
The Weather Channel is the leading weather information provider to radio stations in the US. The Weather Channel uses Dalet’s media asset management system to create and manage weather related content for the web. Once content is assembled, it is published onto a website using Dalet, radio affiliates can then login and retrieve customized weather information.
