Dalet has announced enhancements to its Dalet AmberFin premium transcoding solution, providing customers with greater deployment flexibility, updated pay-per-use pricing, and additional codecs and tools to optimize media supply chain workflows from capture to distribution.
Recognized by the Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry for its superior image quality, Dalet AmberFin is relied upon by leading studios and streaming services for high-quality, enterprise media processing. The latest updates build on this reputation by introducing new codec support and elastic workflows, along with revised pricing.
Product Marketing Perspective
“Proven quality combined with these cost-effective updates make Dalet AmberFin the best value for your money out of any solution on the market,” said Aaron Kroger, Product Marketing Lead at Dalet. “New flexible deployment models and expanded capabilities give customers more budget flexibility and new ways to optimize their media supply chain workflows without compromising on quality.”
Flexible Deployment and Scalability
The cloud-native Dalet AmberFin supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid configurations. Clients can choose from a pay-per-use model as either Software-as-a-Solution (SaaS) deployment managed and hosted by Dalet or hosted on their own AWS infrastructure. Dalet also offers on-premises nodes on a subscription-per-node basis.
Dalet AmberFin Cloud uses the same proprietary transcoding engine across all deployments, allowing existing on-premise customers to augment their deployments with cloud capacity for managing peak usage. This elastic processing power provides a new level of agility and limitless scalability.
New Pricing Models
The self-hosted pay-by-the-hour pricing model eliminates subscription fees, offering the lowest upfront and operational costs for customers managing their own cloud services. Depending on the use case, cloud deployments can save up to 50% over fixed on-premises nodes. Dalet AmberFin provides flexible pricing and total cost of ownership (TCO) to meet various budget needs.
Support for Advanced Formats
Dalet AmberFin supports a wide range of common advanced formats and standards from capture to distribution. New codec support includes advanced formats like ProRes RAW and the latest RED R3D file formats. A comprehensive list of supported codecs and standards is available in the latest datasheet.
“Our ongoing commitment to adding capabilities to Dalet AmberFin is not just about supporting new codecs but about processing and delivering those codecs at the highest possible quality,” said Aaron Kroger. “Whether it’s frame-rate conversions, color space conversion, or HDR tone mapping, Dalet AmberFin delivers superior quality results, certified by industry leaders such as Apple and Dolby.”
Experience the New Features
Customers can schedule a demo to learn more about the new try-and-buy program that allows them to validate results on their own media. Additionally, IBC 2024 attendees can experience AmberFin working across the entire Dalet ecosystem. When paired with Dalet Flex media logistics and Dalet Pyramid unified news operations platforms, Dalet AmberFin becomes a powerful transcoding and media orchestration platform. Robust APIs and workflow engines ensure seamless integration and power automation for complex workflows, including the global delivery of localized titles and content to multiple viewing platforms.
