Some of The Strengths of The Dalet Software

Dalet5 uses Digigram PCX Boards, equipped with their own microprocessors, for more demanding uses, including recording and multiple-track editing. For less intensive applications and for many workstations with simpler SoundBlaster boards, a computer software solution called Virtual PCX is used.

The Dalet Digital Audio System

Dalet is part of the IDAPS platform or the Integrated Digital Audio Production System. It runs on the Windows Operating System, utilizing a client-server architecture, where several individual computers share a central database linked to a cluster of servers. Dalet comprises a suite of specialized applications, each one corresponding to a specific need of a media outlet: recording, editing, scheduling, broadcasting, database management, etc.
