Lega Serie A Production Centre Installs Dalet Solutions

Dalet and Italian partners EI Towers and CVE have announced that the Lega Serie A Lissone-based production centre is using Dalet solutions to manage high-value sports content and production workflows.

The top-flight Italian football league, which is one of the most valuable in the world in terms of annual revenue, consolidated its content production, management and distribution onto a centralized media infrastructure. The fundamental change to Lega Serie A’s media production was a significant technical uplift that leverages Dalet’s solutions for workflow automation and content management, increasing production value for 400-plus games and delivering in progressive UHD and 1080p formats over a full IP infrastructure. The enterprise implementation is entirely subscription-based to maximize flexibility and control costs.

The Lega Serie A transformation is part of a growing trend across sports teams, leagues and federations that are partnering with experienced technology companies like Dalet to take full control of their media strategy and deliver exceptional fan experiences. Dalet’s agile media management technology and deep media expertise enable sports organizations to fully optimize content workflows and onboard future business opportunities with ease.

Dalet's proven enterprise media workflow solution, Dalet Galaxy five, serves as the control layer for handling incoming transmissions from stadiums and managing that content across the production centre’s fast production storage, nearline storage and archives. The underlying Dalet media asset management platform and workflow engine tracks metadata and orchestrates key workflows including game content captured across 100 channels of Dalet Brio IP ingest as well as distribution of digital content packages to main broadcasters, media partners, telecommunication companies and teams using WEBPortals and direct contribution to the stadium during the live events via Dalet Brio IP output. Integrated Dalet production tools provide the frictionless editing and highlight production required in sports with remote collaboration from stadium to production centre made possible thanks to a secure, hybrid configuration.

A first-of-its-kind installation, the Lega Serie A production centre encompasses 2,400 square meters of state-of-the-art media technology that features editing stations, post-production rooms, master control room, content control room, and a room dedicated to infographics. Dalet Professional Services collaborated with EI Towers and CVE to deliver more than 100 ingest channels, 12 playout channels, online production, nearline and archive storage, as well as editing and highlight production applications, along with Dalet MAM workflow design and training for the centre’s technicians and operators in a month. Dalet Professional Services along with business partner CVE also provide Lega Serie A with first-line, on-the-ground support services.
