Dalet, a leading provider of media management tools, announced that CBC / Radio-Canada will deploy DaletPlus Radio Suite across its national radio networks. This installation will be among the largest systems in existence.
This is the second-generation digital audio production system we are deploying at the CBC, explains Mr. Ray Carnovale, Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer of
CBC/Radio -Canada. We reviewed a number of systems on the market and after detailed evaluation concluded that DaletPlus Radio Suite was the only one that would meet our requirements in terms of scalability and open architecture. This system will
help us in our ongoing efforts to use new technology to operate more efficiently and produce the best programming possible for Canadians.
CBC/Radio-Canada already had one of the largest digital audio system world-wide comments Mr. David Lasry, president of Dalet. CBC/Radio Canada is one of the first broadcasters world-wide to adopt an enterprise media platform nation-wide whereby the corporate WAN becomes a core platform for broadcast production and distribution.
Over 2000 DaletPlus Radio Suite workstations will be deployed across 50 sites in the coming 18 months. The resulting digital audio production network will span across Canada allowing for the exchange of broadcast material over standard IP networks. CBC / Radio-Canada will take advantage of the DaletPlus open architecture to interface its digital production platform with third-party systems. It will provide a unified platform for production and broadcast operations, as well as a media warehouse for consolidating national audio archives. As such, DaletPlus Radio Suite will be used as an Enterprise Media Platform to be deployed across the workflow, from ingest and production, to broadcast, archive and distribution.
