Dalet, a technology and service provider for media-rich organisations, has enhanced its Dalet AmberFin enterprise media processing platform.
Significant performance gains and a new
browser interface keeps Dalet AmberFin ahead of new industry demands towards higher
quality on more devices and more flexible workflows. Built-in support for technology
from audio normalisation specialists Emotion Systems ensures that audio output
is optimised for global delivery to multiple listening environments.
Dalet AmberFin helps creatives deliver on their
original artistic intent, while studios, broadcasters and OTT providers will benefit
from a scalable transcode and workflow engine with excellent image and
captioning accuracy.
“The rapid evolution
of digital cinema and video technology has given us images that are stunningly
good. 4K resolution, HDR and immersive audio are not only appreciated by
today’s viewers but expected too,” said Eric Carson, Director,
Dalet AmberFin Product Strategy.
“Viewing screens,
including smartphones, can reveal image quality – good and bad – with forensic
precision. Consequently, it’s more important than ever that the original image
quality achieved by a film director or TV producer is preserved for audiences
to experience as intended.
“We are committed to keeping Dalet AmberFin
on the forefront of media processing with continued improvements in speed and
usability both on-premises and in the cloud.”
The
new capabilities include:
- Enhancements to the Dalet AmberFin
transcoding engine provide, on average, a 30% increase in throughput.
- A new web-based conversion profile editor
provides engineers a modern interface for managing day-to-day configurations.
- Emotion System’s technology enhance Dalet
AmberFin’s video conversion capabilities with loudness correction and global
delivery compliance.
Every
feature of the Dalet AmberFin platform, including the improvements in the
latest release (v11.9), are available both on-premises and in the Dalet
AmberFin Cloud Transcoder Service.
Dalet AmberFin customers can control their
on-premises and cloud transcoding resources from the same workflow engine and
API, and natively use the same conversion profiles and workflows for both fixed
and elastic capacity, without the use of a cloud port or service team.
When
coupled with Dalet’s content production, management and distribution solutions,
Dalet AmberFin becomes a powerful transcoding and media orchestration platform,
ensuring that the right content is available at the highest quality, properly
wrapped, and all as part of an automated and dependable process.
Carson said: “For many of our clients, media processing is only part of the
equation. Packaging for mass distribution is often a requirement.
“Dalet AmberFin, combined with Dalet Flex and Dalet Galaxy five, brings a much needed, high-quality transcoding and precision packaging solution for global distribution encoding requirements.”
Dalet
empowers media-rich organisations to transform their production and
distribution workflows – accelerating media operations, maximising
collaboration and creating higher value from content.
