Flexible Deployment Models and Limitless Scalability

The cloud-native Dalet AmberFin supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid configurations.

The elastic processing power gives customers a new level of agility and limitless scalability.

Flexible Pricing

The new self-hosted pay-by-the-hour pricing has zero subscription fees and provides the lowest upfront and operational costs for customers who self-manage their cloud services.

Individually, Dalet platforms and products offer targeted applications with key capabilities to address critical media workflow functions such as ingest, QC, edit, transcode and multiplatform distribution.

The foundation for Dalet productivity-enhancing workflow solutions, Dalet Galaxy is the enterprise Media Asset Management (MAM) & Orchestration platform that unifies the content chain by managing assets, metadata, workflows and processes across multiple and diverse production and distribution systems. Specially tailored for news and media workflows, this unique technology platform helps broadcasters and media professionals increase productivity while providing operational and business visibility.

Dalet AmberFin is the high-quality, scalable transcoding platform with fully integrated ingest, mastering, QC and review functionalities, enabling facilities to make great pictures in a scalable, reliable and interoperable way. Addressing the demanding needs of studio production, multi-camera ingest, sports logging and highlights production, the innovative Dalet Brio video server platform combines density and cost-effectiveness with high reliability.

“The complexity in the production and distribution chain continues to rise as facilities strive to improve productivity while pursuing new avenues of revenue. More than ever, media organizations require genuine freedom to adapt fast to changing business models and to grasp new opportunities by creating new content experiences,” says Arnaud Elnecave, Vice President of Marketing at Dalet. “They need to become more agile and build an enterprise solution that connects internal content sources to the whole of the business, disintermediates the content chain, enables efficient multiplatform distribution, streamlines user workflows, standardizes technical processes and provides visibility throughout the chain in order to optimize performance and build data-driven strategies. This is what the Dalet Orchestration solution has been designed for.” 

Showcased in preview at NAB 2017, Dalet Orchestration garnered a NewBay “Best of Show” award for its groundbreaking innovation, feature set and performance in serving the industry.

Dalet Orchestration doesn’t substitute existing MAM systems, but rather integrates them to access the media assets they hold and facilitate coherent enterprise-wide workflows. It presents a very cost-effective and “media aware” alternative to the classic and costly approach of deploying a generic ESB.

Based on an advanced suite of tools and execution logic, Dalet Orchestration allows broadcasters and other multi-department content organizations to design, plan, execute, control and monitor the increasingly complex chains of activities. The powerful solution gives these organizations an agile, highly scalable foundation and framework to streamline operations, standardize processes, automate technical tasks, reduce the risk of human errors  and distribute to more outlets today and in the future. It also provides operational transparency with the ability to monitor and analyze KPIs gathered from heterogeneous systems.

The Dalet Orchestration solution comes with a wide range of out-of-the-box connectors, from industry standards to custom-built partner technology integrations. These integrations range from simple connectors for file-based exchanges with applications such as file transfer engines, HSM, QC, media transcoders and content analysis; to complex adaptors for asset-based exchanges, enabling bi-directional communication with systems such as PAM/MAM/DAM, CMS, OVP, NRCS, graphic systems, traffic, scheduling and billing. For the more tech-savvy organizations, the Dalet Galaxy WebServices API allows for any ad hoc integration to be developed in-house or by a contractor.

Further to that, when it comes to leveraging cloud capabilities, orchestration is a real enabler, allowing to combine in a single workflow a mix of processes that use dedicated, on-premise resources and processes that dynamically consume Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. The framework is also ready for next-generation adaptors to connect new types of services such as artificial intelligence (AI) models that need to be driven with context and feedback.

Such enterprise-wide projects require best-of-breed professional services to help customers get the best value from their investment. Dalet teams provide consulting, lead and assistance at every step of the transformation project to ensure success – from technology advisory, to re-design of operations and workflows, definition of key performance indicators, modeling of processes, systems integration and implementation, training and support. Expert in change management, Dalet has deployed a wide range of these high-value projects for the most forward-thinking customers around the world. Its rich experience and insights have helped many leading brands fully realize organizational goals and reach expected benefits.
