Dalet unveiled its new Remote Editing framework at NAB Show 2019. The highly scalable framework brings the full-featured multimedia editing capabilities and speed to editors working in the field or at remote offices without requiring a PAM/MAM at every location.
   

Media organisations in fast-paced production markets such as news, sports and reality TV often have extensive in-the-field production needs that are critical to their business. Unmitigated access to content located at the central hub and accelerated media exchange from the field to home and back are paramount for success. The Dalet Remote Editing framework securely connects journalists, producers, editors and other content creators to the central content hub, enabling the in-the-field/remote users to edit, assemble, collaborate and quickly submit packages or download high-resolution media to finalise locally even in low-bandwidth situations.

“With the Dalet Remote Editing framework, video editors located just about anywhere have the same robust editing experience as those editors located within the four walls of the central hub, even when they have a degraded network connection,” said Golan Tsarfaty, Editing Product Line Manager, Dalet. “Most Dalet customers want to centralise content resources in the main hub yet have a local presence via their remote bureaus, freelancers or simply people working in the field. This new Remote Editing framework provides a gateway to optimise content sharing across multiple locations without requiring the deployment of a MAM or PAM beyond the central hub.”

The Dalet Remote Editing framework leverages the AWS infrastructure and Dalet smart-caching technology to eliminate problematic security, latency and other roadblocks that usually limit remote productions, transforming the entire in-the-field video editing experience and workflow for both users and media companies.

“It solves two key issues. First, it offers a high-quality user experience when editing content from anywhere; and second, it simplifies the network configurations and infrastructure management for access to central content by remote users,” said Tsarfaty. “It’s an incredible technical innovation that is going to help our customers make a quantum leap forward with regards to mobility at work, remote productions and working with freelancers.”

The new editing framework lets journalists to work in the field share with the central hub content they’ve captured locally, via a secure HTTPS Internet connection. Using Dalet Remote Editing Framework they could prepare a story while on the go can preview and pull in content from the central catalogue or the archive, and mix it with locally captured footage, using a stand-alone editor.
