Dalet Digital Media
Systems and Marquis Broadcast, specialist in broadcast workflow
studies and software integration solutions, today announced that both
companies have partnered to optimize the integration of third-party
non-linear editing (NLE) systems with Dalet Enterprise Edition and
Dalet News Suite platforms. Marquis Medway for Dalet will facilitate
the exchange of media essence, Edit Decision Lists (EDL) and
associated metadata between Dalet Content Catalogues and external NLEs
such as Avid NewsCutter and Avid Adrenaline.
“By working alongside leading solutions developers such as Dalet, we
are able to widen the market for Medway media highway and enable more
broadcasters and media professionals to benefit from seamless
integration between best of breed systems within their production
environments,” explains Granby Patrick, Partner Director, Marquis
Broadcast. “The integration of Medway with Dalet media asset
management systems will provide a powerful, efficient and secure
solution with the assurance that vital metadata remains preserved
throughout the workflow.”

“Marquis and Dalet really share the same vision of open broadcast
platforms whereby content can be seamlessly exchanged between
production systems,” comments Mr. Nicolas Hans, Director of Marketing
for Dalet. “Our joint partnership will truly serve broadcasters who
have been entrapped for too long in proprietary solutions whereby
content was entrapped in isolated silos”.

Marquis Medway for Dalet is currently being implemented for a large
European content provider and is planned for release in Q4 2007. Once
completed, Marquis Medway for Dalet will be available through Dalet
Business Partners and supported by Marquis Broadcast.
