Portal access to preview, logging and storyboarding
expands access to content and functional tools adding
business value in enterprise environments
Levellois-Perrot, France - March 1, 2012 - Dalet Digital
Media Systems (www.dalet.com), a leading developer of
Media Asset Management (MAM) solutions, software and
services for broadcasters announced today that it has
packaged several of its tools and interfaces to allow
them to be embedded into customer portals. Based on
google gadget technology, these web-based Dalet gadgets
provide a way for third-party integrators and customers'
in-house developers to leverage Dalet's tools at the
enterprise level.
"By packaging some of our functional tools to allow
integrators and customers to expose them within corporate
portals and "mashups", we've given companies a way to
expand access to the content and functional tools in ways
that best suit the needs of the business. It's another
example of how our emphasis on open standards gives
companies tremendous flexibility," says Kevin
Savina, Director of Product Management, Dalet, S.A.
"For instance, the Dalet preview gadget allows users
on a corporate portal to select assets from the Dalet
database, preview and stream them in a frame accurate
manner in the Dalet Preview window directly from the
portal without needing a separate, external application.
This has tangible business advantages, especially in
large enterprises where assets can be used across many
different departments for many different purposes. From a
single portal, users can have access to all the tools and
assets they need - whether its calendars and mail or
video and rough-cut editing tools."
In addition to its Preview window interface, Dalet has
also enabled the Dalet Media Logger and Dalet
Storyboarder as google gadgets. MediaLogger is a logging
tool for previewing content and adding annotation to the
video on a template basis to produce new clips and
shotlists. Storyboarder is a shot selection tool for
rough-cut editing that uses mark-ins and mark-outs to
create simple edls, organize them in whatever order users
prefer and exchange them with craft editors.
