To support the remote
work requirements of its 300 journalists, France Télévisions has subscribed to
Dalet Galaxy xCloud. Once fully rolled out,
Dalet Galaxy xCloud is expected to provide the French broadcaster with the
flexibility to facilitate seamless remote production workflows.
Dalet Galaxy xCloud
is a software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based offering, and is a full-feature version
of the latest Dalet Galaxy five MAM platform that leverages the cloud to facilitate
news production workflows across national channels and the franceinfo rolling
news channel, as well as support newsroom editing applications Adobe Premiere
Pro and Dalet OneCut.
Emmanuel Gonce, Head
of Engineering for the newsrooms at France Télévisions, explained: “Dalet
Galaxy xCloud offers us a path to news production with remote editing that is
connected to our central Dalet Galaxy systems.
“Once integrated
within production workflows, it will extend the content and the workflow tools
that we use day in and day out to deliver the news beyond the physical
newsroom.”
Within Dalet Galaxy
xCloud, the remote editing framework features integration with the on-premises
Dalet Galaxy five system. It supports advanced proxy editing workflows, mixing
of central and local content, with proxy content cached locally to minimise
disruptions due to bandwidth limit.
France Télévisions
will first use Dalet Galaxy xCloud running on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.
In a second phase, the broadcaster will move to a hybrid configuration that
utilises the Dalet Galaxy xCloud on-premises gateway component to manage heavy media
processing such as creating proxy files and rendering of projects on-premises.
Going forward, the
hybrid configuration will also support low-latency workflows.
