New Dalet Flex tools speed up content editing and delivery

The cloud native ecosystem Dalet Flex now features the web-based Dalet Cut media editor, enhanced FlexMOVE asset migration, and even more powerful AmberFin Kiosk integrations to streamline media movement across your entire operation.

The latest Long Term Support (LTS) release brings the following capabilities that provide an improved user experience and accelerate the movement, editing, and delivery of content across display platforms.

With Dalet Cut, users can now work on content preparation and editing, social media highlights and compliance editing workflows, all fully integrated into the Dalet Flex ecosystem.

Dalet now also includes an improved user interface for FlexMOVE which allows users to effortlessly upload media and metadata, for individual or bulk files. Also included in the app is a new integration with the data transfer solution IBM Aspera Connect to further streamline workflows.

On the other hand, simplified ingestion of camera cards has been improved, allowing deeper control over assets and productions, thanks to shared users and permissions between Dalet AmberFin Kiosk and Dalet Flex.

Dalet Flex offers complete flexibility to configure workflows in the cloud, on-premises, or a hybrid of both. Its expanded ecosystem brings much-needed efficiencies to creative media operations that manage multiple content channels for production, packaging, repackaging, distribution and archiving in a future-ready, cloud-native workflow platform. As market demands evolve, the platform offers greater extensibility thanks to its cloud-native architecture based on microservices.

Dalet Cut para Flex in situ

Mathieu Zarouk, vice president of product management at Dale, notes that "Dalet Flex is designed from the ground up to power production and distribution workflows from ingestion to delivery. The comprehensive Dalet Flex ecosystem seamlessly interconnects third-party production and business systems, allowing customers to manage complex workflows, from sales to library management, packaging and distribution, faster and easier. Key innovations such as the Dalet Cut cloud-native media editor enable our users evolve their content preparation capabilities and leverage the cloud to collaborate anywhere.”

Announced at NAB 2023, Dalet Cut is a web-based editor that integrates seamlessly with the Dalet Flex platform. It is a tool of fast and easy-to-use multimedia editing, with native access to the entire media library, allowing users of all levels of video editing to quickly edit and publish content from anywhere. Dalet Cut is ideal for workflows that require rapid media assembly, such as content preparation, cuts, match highlights and recaps, as well as compliance editing.

The most notable features are editing from a browser without the need for users to install additional software or hardware and the ability to access your entire media library and content archive directly from your editing tool, whether in the cloud or on-premises.

"Whether you need to make a crop, stand out on social media or perform a compliance edit, you can now edit quickly using Dalet Cut directly in the Flex environment. With an incredibly intuitive interface, users can prepare content quickly, maximizing operational efficiency," continues Mathieu.

Comfort, flexibility and control

The latest version of Dalet Flex includes additional enhancements that bring greater flexibility and control to users, including a revamped user interface for Dalet FlexMOVE. With a more intuitive user experience, it is now faster and easier to upload content to the platform. Additional integration with IBM Aspera Connect allows customers to leverage their existing Aspera account to accelerate file uploads to the Dalet Flex ecosystem, saving time and resources.

Additionally, greater integration with the ingestion management tool Dalet AmberFin Kiosk, through shared users and metadata, allows for simple and efficient import of camera cards to the platform. With this enhanced functionality, including optional per-user quotas, customers gain greater control over their projects, while seamlessly leveraging the power of Dalet AmberFin for their production and distribution workflows.
