Dalet, a leading technology and service provider for media-rich organizations, today announced that the Dalet AmberFin premium transcoding solution now gives customers even more deployment flexibility, updated best-in-market pay-per-use pricing, as well as additional codecs and tools that optimize media supply chain workflows from capture to distribution. Regarded by Media and Entertainment (M&E) as the standards-bearer for image quality, leading studios and streaming services rely on Dalet AmberFin for its high-quality, enterprise media processing to deliver the best possible viewing experience. In addition to the revised pricing, the latest updates continue to build on this reputation by bringing new codec support and elastic workflows to the platform.
“Proven quality combined with these cost-effective updates make Dalet AmberFin the best value for your money out of any solution on the market,” states Aaron Kroger, Product Marketing Lead, Dalet. “New flexible deployment models and expanded capabilities give customers more latitude with budgets, and new ways to optimize their media supply chain workflows without compromising on quality.”
Flexible Deployment Models and Limitless 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 continues to offer on-premises nodes on a subscription-per-node basis.
Dalet AmberFin Cloud utilizes the same proprietary transcoding engine regardless of your deployment. Thus, existing Dalet AmberFin on-premise customers can augment existing deployments by utilizing the cloud for additional capacity and managing peak usage. 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. Depending on the use case, cloud deployments can save up to 50% over fixed on-premises nodes. Regardless of the deployment model, AmberFin provides the industry’s most flexible pricing and TCO to meet all budgets.
Manage the latest and most advanced formats
Dalet AmberFin supports a wide array of the most common advanced formats and standards, from capture to distribution. New codec support includes the latest advanced formats for capture and delivery such as ProRes RAW and the latest RED R3D file formats. A comprehensive list of supported codecs and standards are 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,” says Aaron. “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.”

Union’s Jono Griffith Brings Fans, Animal Kingdom, and a Giant Together For “Magic Sunday”
Never before have humans, animals, and other creatures so seamlessly integrated and so fondly interacted in the shared experience of Sunday football. YouTube TV's new spot, “Magic Sunday,” is exactly as advertised: a fantastic blend of humor, whimsy, and sports fandom. Originated at the YouTube Creative Studio, directed by Matthijs van Heijningen of MJZ, with VFX by The Mill, and edited by Union’s Jono Griffith, the project succeeds in part because of the team’s attention to detail (like the ram fluffing the couch cushions and the jaguar eyeing the cardinal), which playfully captures the excitement of NFL Sunday Ticket. “This one was a treat of a job,” says Griffith. “The editing involved making sure there was space and time for the animation to communicate at its best whilst deciding what would be most charming. Movie magic is a lot of fun, and it was a team effort with the guiding eye of my friend Matthijs and the experience of The Mill; the script from YouTube Creative Studio was smart and simple and had a big smile all over it, and although it was very ambitious, everyone involved aimed for the top shelf and we got it there…with the smile still intact.” The choice of “Sunday Morning” by the Velvet Underground adds a perfect touch to the light-hearted tone of the spot.
