Dalet integrated a close captioning workflow for Canada’s CPAC, ensuring its metadata preservation.
The Cable Public Affairs Channel, or CPAC as it is more commonly called, is Canada’s only privately-owned, commercial free, not for profit, bilingual licensed television service. Founded in 1992, this Canadian Parliament channel shows the proceedings of Parliament from Ottawa in French and English languages.
Its content is delivered by cable, satellite and wireless distributors to over 11 million homes in Canada and worldwide via 24/7 web streaming on the CPAC TV 2 GO mobile app and the www.cpac.ca website. The organization ingests up to 80 hours of new content daily and has made over 30,000 hours of archived content available on these digital platforms.
“We urgently needed a closed captioning solution that could manage a variety of content from several different types of production workflows: news and magazine style shows, live and studio production, and long-form programming. For each of these workflows we needed to be able to manage, and more importantly maintain caption data, especially after editing has been completed or the content is passing through another system,” said Eitan Weisz, Senior Manager of Broadcast Operations, CPAC. “We felt Dalet could deliver these facets in one package.”
LONG-TIME ASSOCIATION
If you are wondering why the broadcaster immediately thought of Dalet Digital Media Systems, a provider of software-based solutions for media organizations, there is a bit of history that the two companies share. The closed-caption system is the latest evolution of CPAC’s relationship with Dalet, which dates back to 2009. The partnership began when CPAC began digitizing its legacy tape content and selected Dalet as a front end Media Asset Management (MAM) provider to catalogue its new online archive.
