Dalet Enterprise Edition News Production Workflow at TeleNorba Television
Dalet Enterprise Edition will revamp the existing workflow by adding a MAM-layer that serves as the content hub to manage all aspects of TeleNorba news production, including the launch of a new 24/7 News channel with localized news coverage for the Lecce and Bari regions.
The end-to-end Dalet installation will feature a comprehensive newsroom computer system, content catalogue, modern video production tools and broadcast playout control facilitated by the MAM core and its integrated workflow engine. “The Dalet system represents a new genre of MAM-based news production technology. It enables journalists, producers and anchors to create, edit and package content for distribution to any medium. With Dalet’s easy-to-use tools, TeleNorba journalists can create multimedia stories for distribution across TelNorba’s different broadcasting channels,” said Stephane Schlayen, Chief Operating Officer, Dalet. “The launch of the new TeleNorba 24/7 News channel and the increased content production for localized Lecce and Bari newscasts are good examples of how broadcasters can leverage Dalet to reach an expanded audience using the same resources and content, with minimal incremental cost. It also shows Dalet’s commitment to the Italian market”
The new Dalet workflow will transform the TeleNorba news production and distribution process by providing a single digital platform for aggregating content, consolidating rundowns and editing resources, and distributing packages to multiple channels, including web, mobile, and VOD.
Dalet Enterprise Edition will also integrate with the Dalet Radio Suite installation, synchronizing distribution schedules for Radionorba’s music playlist and the associated music videos, which will air on the new TeleNorba 24/7 Music Television channel with playout controlled by Dalet.
