Paris, France – June 1, 2017 – Dalet Digital Media Systems, a leading provider of solutions and services for media organizations, today announced that the National Assembly of Mauritius has deployed an end-to- end Dalet Galaxy Media Asset Management (MAM) platform at the heart of its media operation, including managing the recording and live broadcast of parliamentary sessions. The implementation, facilitated as a joint venture between Dalet, local partner HMT (Harel Mallac Technologies), and South Africa broadcast specialist Zimele Broadcast, is the latest instance of Dalet solutions being used by national and international government institutions to acquire, centralize, manage, produce and distribute official content to the public.

“The installation of Dalet and broadcasting from parliament live for the first time helps the
National Assembly meet one of its core mission statement objectives,” explains Saseeta
Ramsahye-Rakha, parliamentary ICT manager of the Mauritius National Assembly. “The main objective is to bring Parliament to people and help the public understand the role and operation of the National Assembly through information sharing. Equally important, with Dalet now at the center of the media operation, members are able to keep their constituents well-informed on vital subjects and decisions by easily and quickly publishing media online.”

The Mauritius National Assembly reached a landmark in its democratic process on 15 December 2016 when it began live broadcasting of the parliamentary proceedings.

The New Workflow 
National Assembly staff enter the parliamentary order of business into Dalet planning tools, which, via the Dalet API, populate the Event Guide and Session Agenda on the Mauritius government website (https://parliamenttv.govmu.org). All cameras in the National Assembly’s main Chamber are recorded automatically onto high-density Dalet Brio video servers and with overlaid Dalet Cube graphics to identify each speaker, a live output is produced and simultaneously broadcast via Mauritius TV and streamed live via Unified Streaming servers on the online video platform. Galaxy workflow transfers the video automatically from Dalet Brio to NetApp online storage and later to Xendata systems for archiving. Operators log content using Dalet Events Logger, which appears instantly on the website as a timestamped index against the live stream. Dalet WebSpace users can later use the logs to search tags, select shots and create EDLs using Dalet OneCut for content production. Additionally, when there are no live sessions, Dalet OnAir can automate playout via Dalet Brio, incorporating graphics generated by Dalet
Cube. The system has capacity to also record and stream the two National Assembly committee rooms when required.

Dalet Galaxy’s open API provides key integration with the National Assembly of Mauritius’ Vualto online platform. The seamless connection allows members and the public to access recorded sessions and publish tweets and Facebook posts, as well as connect to other social media platforms with direct links to the video index.

“Working in close cooperation with our joint venture partners HMT and Zimele was key in
making this project a success. We are delighted to have helped the National Assembly of
Mauritius achieve its goal of sharing up-to- date news and information with its people and
helping facilitate a multimedia record of parliamentary proceedings,” says Chris Wright,
general manager, Dalet UK, Africa and Middle East. “In doing so, they join prestigious
organizations including the UK Parliament, the Canadian House of Commons, the Australian Parliament, the US Senate and the United Nations in using Dalet solutions to reach a national and international public.”
