Dalet has announced significant updates to Dalet AmberFin, the standards-bearer in image quality for transcoding. This release features seamless integration with cloud-native Dalet Flex media logistics and Dalet Pyramid unified news operations platforms.
   

New transcoding capabilities that elevate the user experience along with successful completion of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Foundational Technical Review solidifies Dalet AmberFin's cloud excellence, keeping it at the forefront of conversion innovation and the leading scalable media processing technology for preserving artistic intent.

Patrick Devlin, Product Manager for Dalet AmberFin, said: "Dalet AmberFin sits at the heart of the rapidly evolving streaming workflow. Because it is a cornerstone technology for our customers, we are focused on its continuous improvement and integration in the wider ecosystem.

"This release threads the recognized Dalet AmberFin conversion quality and media processing technology across our flagship SaaS solutions, Dalet Flex and Dalet Pyramid. As a critical pillar of these solutions, Dalet AmberFin bridges the gap for Dalet customers who need a fully cloud-native media ecosystem with proven end-to-end production and distribution workflows that can support any existing or emerging market vertical."

• Excellence In Cloud

Recognizing the shift in customer agility and mobility needs, Dalet AmberFin provides a cloud-first approach that has been verified by the AWS Foundational Technical Review.

Patrick continued: "It is no longer sufficient to simply take an on-premises system and run it on EC2 instances in the cloud, customers want cloud-native applications that can take full advantage of containerized services, scale up and scale down and the security best practices in the cloud."

• Convenience, Agility and Power

Dalet AmberFin's advanced ingest management and conversion combined with elastic cloud resources enables enterprise users to cost-effectively facilitate large-scale projects. The newly updated Dalet AmberFin Kiosk, which supports macOS and offers expanded support for formats including ProRes RAW and NEF, helps users fly through offloading and backing up mass amounts of content.

Utilizing cloud storage, it concurrently verifies content integrity and enriches metadata so that content is organized and ready to drive further operational workflows easily.

Other production efficiency enhancements include support for UHD input and output with a standard transcode node and support for writing ABR packages DASH & HLS while content is being ingested.
