Dalet unveils industry’s first enterprise MAM for Sports solution
New York, NY, – April 11, 2011 -–- Dalet Digital Media Systems (www.dalet.com), a leading developer of enterprise Media Asset Management (MAM) solutions, debuted today at NAB 2011 the new Dalet Sports Factory, the industry’s first enterprise MAM workflow solution developed specifically for sports production. Dalet Sports Factory manages the challenges of fast-paced, live event and post-game coverage by leveraging the powerful MAM capabilities of Dalet Enterprise Edition with purpose-built sports logging, clipping and replay tools. The combination produces a cohesive, high-speed workflow that delivers winning results. “Dalet Sports Factory takes a broader approach to sports production. It views the workflow as a whole, incorporating specialized tools within the enterprise MAM platform rather than stand-alone components. This gives assets more meaning as they are not just associated with game day or a highlight. Assets are ubiquitous across the production workflow and easily shared with everyone, with full metadata intact. Dalet Sports Factory brings immense value to content, ensuring its reuse well beyond game day,” says Stephane Schlayen, Chief Operating Officer, Dalet. “In addition, our enterprise MAM layer natively brings the support of a wide range of video servers or I/O ports, including our Brio but also EVS, K2 or Omneon. In short, it is now possible to empower an existing sports platform with our MAM framework.”
Attendees to the NAB event (Las Vegas, NV, April 11– 14) can see Dalet Sports Factory at booth SL6014.
Dalet Sports Factory Core Capabilities
Enterprise MAM CoreThe Media Asset Management platform in Dalet Sports Factory “glues” together the different components of the production chain, delivering a streamlined workflow with content enriched every step of the way. There’s no struggle finding shots, no redundant logging or repeating mark-ins and outs. Metadata entered during logging and highlight creation reside with the media; the intelligent search engine in Sports Factory drills down to return the right clips so operators can quickly repurpose content for broadcast, online or mobile use. Archives are also connected directly to the production, giving post-production significant boosts in efficiency.
Purpose-built Sports Production Tools
Dalet Sports Factory includes specialized tools that get the job done quickly and efficiently—fast, one-button logging with Dalet Sports Logger; highlights, playlist creation and playback using Dalet Hilites Espresso; and instant replays with Dalet Media Replay. Dalet Sports Factory is configurable for any sport, from basketball, football and baseball to hockey, tennis and volleyball.
Seamless Integration with NLEsIntegrations with industry-standard sports systems and NLEs, including Final Cut Pro and Avid, provide a smooth and uninterrupted workflow from production to post. With media accessible through any Dalet or Web client, Sports Factory enables collaboration among disparate workgroups.
