New app that simplifies live and on-demand content production is featured at NAB 2013
Levallois-Perret, France – April 07, 2013 –Dalet Digital Media Systems, a leading developer of Media Asset Management (MAM) solutions, software and services for broadcasters, has collaborated with BeTomorrow, a digital agency and developer of sports apps, to produce a new app that streamlines live game and on-demand content production for second screen audiences. The companies started the collaboration by developing a second screen app that focuses on tennis, which will be featured at the Dalet booth (SL4524) at NAB 2013. The app can also be repurposed for other types of sports.
Visitors to the Dalet booth will be able to see how easy it is to leverage all the rich media assets and structured metadata stored in the Dalet MAM in conjunction with the BeTomorrow tennis app to gain additional viewership from users of mobile devices during live games and events. Content such as highlights, camera angles or interviews not shown during broadcasts, and information about players can also be easily packaged for on-demand viewing by mobile viewers through the same app.
“This app illustrates very clearly how comprehensive Media Asset Management can open up many more business opportunities that can be executed easily. Without adding more resources, it’s possible to leverage produced content and metadata to embed second screen applications as part of the workflow,” says Raoul Cospen, director of marketing and business development, Dalet. “So it’s really about expanding live production in ways that enhance the consumer experience and garner more audience from second screen viewing.”
“Second screen applications are growing in importance as a way for broadcasters to win viewers on different platforms and to include the users as active participants in entertainment and sports programs,” added Sylvie Clin, CEO, BeTomorrow. “We’re pleased to collaborate with Dalet in this effort to help broadcasters optimize new opportunities more simply with apps that can easily become part of their ongoing workflow.”
