The latest release of Dalet AmberFin makes the media processing platform the “first software-based transcoding asset management system” to include Dolby Vision® technologies, according to the press release. In addition to Dolby Vision and a raft of new software-only features, Dalet AmberFin can also be enhanced with hardware acceleration tools such as the M820L HEVC encoder plugin card from SoC (System On a Chip) specialist Socionext.

Steve Higgins, Product Manager, Dalet AmberFin, states, “The latest release of the Dalet AmberFin media processing engine marks a new era for this renowned high-quality content processor. Whether you process on-premises, in the cloud or with a mix of both; the efficiency of the processor coupled with high throughput and exceptional audio-visual quality are key for delivering your content in a timely and cost-conscious fashion.”

The media processing capabilities of the solution enable automated Dolby Vision mastering and distribution workflows that generate outputs from IMF, through broadcast, cable and satellite packages to OTT HLS and DASH bundles. The integrated BPMN-compliant workflow engine and API let administrators configure user interfaces, assign tasks for operators, and push through ad-hoc QC processes.

Dalet AmberFin’s file outputs can vary in packaging sophistication from MP4s through to complex IMF packages that are automatically synthesized from collections of input files and automation instructions.

The version 11.8.2.0 of Dalet AmberFin’s is now available to all existing customers on a support contract.
