theibcdaily New stars in Galaxy lineup Dalet By Michael Burns
Enterprise-level MAM platform Galaxy has been boosted with a clutch of new modules, including tools that can manage and navigate complex visual data models to simplify complex workflows. They achieve this by relating essence files and programme components, such as audio and language tracks, subtitles, and other associated assets, in the context of the destination distribution platform. By grouping and organising these components together, these new tools enable more efficient and
transparent workflows for approval, versioning and distribution.
A second-generation of the application programming interface, the SOA-compliant API2, provides a set of high- level services, ranging from asset, media, metadata and search, to more advanced services such as notifications, configuration and access rights. API2 also comes bundled with an intelligent dashboard for monitoring API usage per service. A new enhanced reporting
feature fully exploits the KPIs and rich metadata captured by Dalet in the production process to inform operational and business decisions. The new reporting tool introduces
a layer of visibility, making it easier to measure how systems are behaving. New for sports production customers, Dalet is adding native deep integration with Opta feeds, enabling rich metadata to be incorporated into content related to sporting events. News Wire, the scripting and newsroom computer system of Dalet Galaxy, is enhanced by improved integration with social media feeds, the iOS/Android app Dalet On- the-Go for rundown preview and optimised content upload, and WebSpace, a new scripting and rundown tool. There's a number of enhancements to the Xtend module for Galaxy, which

ChyronHego’s stand also include the TRACAB image tracking system that uses Super-HD cameras and image processing technology to identify the position of all moving objects in a sports arena.
Mexican TV production firm Comtec is upgrading its live OB HD workflow to enhance productions for its customers, including TV Azteca, ESPN, Concacaf, Telemundo, FOX, TDN and Univision.
Warm front: Metacast weather graphics system
ChyronHego’s software analyses every image to extract X, Y and Z positions for each object, enabling three-dimensional tracking in real-time. TRACAB data can be streamed to various visualisation platforms such as broadcast graphics and second screens, and can be used to prepare performance statistics. An enhanced TRACAB product portfolio includes newly
acquired ZXY transponder- based player tracking technology.
Also on the stand is the Virtual Placement virtual graphics system; Virtual Football, a virtual graphics system for use with live football production; Paint, a sports telestration system; and GS2 Multi-Touch, a studio touch screen system. 7.D11
Multiple, flexibly configured XTnano HD/SD slow-motion replay servers will provide Comtec’s outside broadcast trucks with audio/video file ingest, live feed recording, live slow motion and super motion, as well as clipping and playlist playout control.

presentation's message. The SMP 351 supports both live streaming and recording capabilities, allowing a presentation to be delivered anywhere a network can reach. Extron's FlexOS embedded operating system makes it easily adaptable to new requirements, and applications can be uploaded to the SMP 351 to automate system operation using control ports. It is easy to use, and with no licensing fees, has a low cost of ownership. "The convergence of AV and
IT creates new opportunities for AV systems, delivering presentations over IP networks with streaming and recording," said Casey Hall, VP of sales and marketing for Extron. "With its comprehensive AV integration features and the FlexOS platform, the SMP 351 can be adapted to many system requirements." The SMP 351 offers extensive
streaming capabilities. It can stream and record
simultaneously and can stream concurrently at two different
resolutions and bit rates using a range of transport protocols and session management options. The SMP 351 creates MP4 media files that are directly compatible with virtually any software media player and popular content management system. MP4 recorded media can be saved to the internal solid state drive, a USB thumb drive, or a network storage directory to meet different application requirements. Designed for use in professional AV systems, the SMP 351 can
