New York, NY – February 14, 2018 – Dalet, a leading provider of solutions and services for

broadcasters and content professionals, will showcase concrete IMF production and delivery

workflows at the 2018 Hollywood Post Alliance (HPA) Tech Retreats Innovation Zone. The

special HPA showcase organized by the worldwide IMF User Group, an HPA open forum for the community of end users and implementers of the IMF family of standards, will feature

member companies including Colorfront, Marquise Technologies and Rohde Schwarz

demonstrating typical IMF scenarios with Dalet Galaxy media asset management (MAM) and

orchestration at the core of the interoperability showcase.

“Turning IMF from a promise to an actual production-ready implementation is a great step

for the industry as a whole. The adoption of the standard will become more and more

critical for content originators and distributors to optimize workflows in today’s explosive

film and broadcast market. Dalet has committed to this standard and initiative from the get

go. We are glad to spearhead and enable this new generation of workflows and format”

comments Matthieu Fasani, product line manager for Dalet MAM SAAS solutions. 

“There are real substantive business benefits in adopting IMF. Simplified distribution, optimized delivery, reduced storage footprint, shorter lead time for product turnaround and reduced QC costs allow content producers to industrialize their productions and scale delivery to meet demands. Deploying IMF-proven solutions is game-changing and now is the time for broadcasters and content producers to make the leap.” 

The only MAM vendor participating in the IMF user group showcase in the HPA Innovation

Zone, Dalet will demonstrate with member companies an end-to- end IMF workflow including

receiving IMF packages, referencing IMF assets in a central repository, leveraging IMF

metadata, both technical and editorial, to search on all assets and data; generating proxies

for preview of track files and CPLs in Dalet WebSpace; visualizing assets relationships (track

files and CPLs, CPLs and OPLs), automating the creation of new versions, connecting CPLs

using EIDR (Entertainment Identifier Registry) and ISAN (International Standard Audiovisual

Number) ids.

About Dalet Advancements in IMF Workflows

Dalet has been pioneering the IMF Workflow industrialization with Dalet Galaxy, a MAM and

Orchestration platform that features a comprehensive and intuitive set of tools to manage IMF packages at the production, distribution and contribution parts of a media business. Users can easily import and preview IMF packages natively into Dalet WebSpace, visualize IMF structures and components with Dalet Context Maps, build versions and supplemental packages with Dalet Track Stack and Dalet Version Editor, and eventually wrap compositions for distribution using a connector to an IMF-compliant transcode farm, such as Dalet AmberFin.
