Media organizations today face growing pressure to produce more content for more platforms with leaner teams and increasingly complex workflows. Dalet says its latest Flex LTS release addresses these challenges by expanding AI-powered media intelligence through workflow automation and deeper integration with Dalia, Dalet’s media-aware agentic AI platform. Organizations can further streamline operations while operationalizing the next generation of intelligent media workflows.

Stronger Security, Simpler Content Acquisition
The Dalet Flex LTS updates introduce significant enhancements that simplify content acquisition while improving security, operational visibility, and workflow efficiency.

Support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication strengthens enterprise security by enabling modern identity management and secure user authentication across Dalet Flex environments. New role-based permissions within Ingest Portal provide administrators with greater control over scheduling and recording operations while improving governance for distributed production teams.

At the same time, a modernized Ingest Portal makes distributed live production materially more efficient: streamlined scheduling, multi-time-zone visibility, FIFO scheduling for Dalet Brio, and broader format support including DNxHD for the Flex encoder. The net effect is a live ingest operation that scales across locations and time zones without adding operational risk or headcount, turning content acquisition from a bottleneck into a controlled, repeatable capability.

AI That Understands Your Content
The updates significantly expand Dalet's embedded AI capabilities, allowing organizations to automatically enrich media assets as they enter the production workflow.

Advanced vision models are embedded directly within the Dalet Flex infrastructure, enabling AI to process content where the media resides. As assets enter production, the platform can automatically generate descriptive metadata, identify objects, recognize emotional context, and perform content moderation analysis without requiring media transfers to external AI services. This intelligence is surfaced directly within Dalet Flex through timeline-based metadata and asset views, making content easier to understand, search, and repurpose throughout its lifecycle.

By automatically generating rich metadata during ingest, organizations can reduce manual logging while improving content discoverability, increasing the long-term value of growing media libraries, and reducing manual data indexing efforts.

Faster Creative and Distribution Workflows
Dalet Flex LTS delivers new capabilities that help creative teams prepare content for today’s multi-platform publishing requirements.

Enhancements to Dalet Cut introduce automated background blur for vertical video production, new subject-tracking blur capabilities to protect identities and sensitive information, improved text positioning, and expanded image adjustment controls, including brightness and saturation. Editors can complete more finishing work directly within their production workflow while reducing the need for additional applications.

The release also streamlines content preparation for distribution. Updated workflow wizards simplify packaging processes, while new caption burn-in capabilities within Dalet Flex Stream Processing integrate accessibility and compliance tasks directly into automated delivery workflows. Together with expanded media format support, these enhancements accelerate the journey from acquisition to publication.

Expanding Intelligent Workflow Automation with Dalia
The Dalet Flex LTS release turns Dalia into an operational force multiplier across the media supply chain. Any workflow in your Flex environment can now be exposed to Dalia through simple configuration with no custom development required, so teams execute complex operations through natural language rather than specialized interface expertise.

Dalia automatically discovers any workflow present in the system, while Workflow Designer gives teams precise control over which workflows are exposed to Dalia. Once a workflow is surfaced, Dalia understands its structure and prompts the user for any variables required to run it, turning complex operational processes into a simple, guided conversation.

From media processing and metadata enrichment to packaging, review, and content delivery, users can now initiate workflows in natural language, interacting with Dalet Flex more intuitively while sidestepping the complexity of traditional application interfaces.

Intelligence is embedded directly into everyday media operations, enabling users to work more efficiently while maintaining the control, governance, and transparency required for professional production environments.
