Dalet Brio
Dalet Brio is an innovative and cost-effective platform for broadcast customers looking for non-proprietary hardware to digitize and playback their content, either as a complement or replacement of their existing video servers. Built on an IT-based input and output video platform, it seamlessly integrates with Dalet Solutions to provide a highly flexible and scalable end-to-end solution.
Dalet Brio units are designed to ingest and playout broadcast quality video in SD, HD, and UHD formats. They come in a variety of input/output or local/central storage combinations. Each unit is built on robust IT equipment with built-in redundancy.
Flexible Codec Support
Dalet Brio supports a very wide range of software codecs. In order to ensure broad interoperability, industry-standard wrappers such as Quicktime & MXF are supported, allowing seamless workflow integration with third-party NLEs and Dalet production tools. Dalet Brio can play any supported files, including a mix of SD, HD and UHD on the same timeline, back-to-back with dynamic cross-, up- and down- conversion of the video signal, as well as aspect ratio modifications.
Transition to IP
Dalet Brio is ready for the transition to IP-based video production, with the support of multiple video-over-IP standards from the high-end SMPTE 2022-6/-7 and SMPTE 2110, including NMOS interoperability, to the popular NewTek NDI streams. Dalet Brio supports hybrid SDI / IP workflows, to ensure that the transition to IP production is smooth. Dalet is working together with the AMWA association.
Proven Reliability
With more than 1,000 news, channel automation, MAM & QC, and sports production deployments, Dalet Brio has a successful track record that spans just about every broadcast server workflow scenario. More than its versatility, Brio has proven its load tolerance and scalability capabilities, supporting large content producers and broadcasters.
Third-party support
Dalet Brio can be part of Dalet Galaxy Architecture for Ingest and Playout but can also fit into third-party MAM, NRCS, and Playout control systems with VDCP and BVW protocol. With Dalet Brio supporting FIMS standards, Adobe Premiere Pro CC can control Dalet Brio for ingest as a plugin as well as Ingest to AVID Interplay/ISIS and Apple FCP X.

FrameFormer for Marquise Mist
FrameFormer for Marquise Mist
High quality motion compensated frame rate conversion is now available as an optional upgrade within the Marquise Mist mastering platform. This will benefit broadcasters and content owners who face unexpected needs for frame rate and format conversion, such as when footage that was expected to be 1080 50i turns out to be 720 30p, and there’s no option to reshoot, or when a client requests a clip for integration into a UHD 59p program, but the only version on the server is HD 50i.
Using FrameFormer's unique and advanced algorithms file-based content can now be converted with the smoothest motion possible.
FrameFormer is easy to integrate via its open API, runs under Linux, Windows, and Mac operating systems and targets CPU-only deployment for maximum flexibility.
X-Pert Content Replicator
X-Pert Content Replicator is designed with automated content management in mind. Get the stock of your content on multiple local playout servers and make the content replication comfortably and safely.
Transfer your content safely
You can control the transfer process and eliminate broken replicated files. Thus, you will deliver a stable playout. We use real-time checks during the content replication, and if there is any problematic content, it wouldn’t be moved to all “healthy” files.
Keep your local servers clean
The application helps you organize your workflow and keep only the files you need on the local playout servers. In other words, you can use the available removal options to delete all unnecessary files on the local server(s). Of course, our product generates log files. You can use them anytime to find full information on each file transfer or content removal.
Transfer from multiple sources to multiple playout servers
You can simply point to your source(s) and local server(s), and X-Pert Content Replicator will replicate your files. Moreover, you can add separate folders as different sources.
Automated transfer of recently added files
It can gather content from several sources automatically when new content is available at any of the remote locations. As follows, all your content will be up-to-date.
Playlist transfer
You have the option to transfer a playlist and all files included in it. Additionally, you are able to replicate your daily playlists for a specific number of days.
Utelly Recommendation Engine
Utelly Recommendation Engine
To build rich user and multi-user profiles, we identify key indicators throughout the user life cycle, as well as offer the option to ingest existing datasets and combine this with explicit user signals. These profiles are used in conjunction with our enriched metadata, real-time trending topics, and understanding of the wider user-base, to power our world-class recommendation engine.
There is a huge variation when it comes to individual consumption patterns and behaviors. This is exacerbated by the mixing of linear and on-demand content. Many existing solutions fail in the content landscape of today. Our nuanced approach to the challenge allows us to offer a much more effective solution.
By leveraging the connections within the unified metadata repository, better content filtering can be provided, related content can be highlighted and in turn, a better signal is collected to unlock collaborative filtering.
The next level builds upon user activities and their hidden signals for content desirability. Using the latest ML/AI techniques, prediction models are generated and help drive user engagement and ultimately retention.
Utelly Universal Search Engine
Utelly Universal Search Engine
The real challenge lies in developing a search engine you won’t need to constantly rewire to match your audience’s changing viewing habits and demands.
What we provide instead is a ready-to-use, comprehensive search engine built with OTT media providers in mind and with a UI to rival Netflix’s, to retain your existing users and attract new ones by supercharging your search functionality. A competitive Pay TV search engine should, consequently, be able to handle millions of customized queries, many of which are mired with partial matches, spelling errors, and unexpected synonyms. Utelly’s search engine handles even the most unpredictable queries with relative ease. Highly specific searches, such as for actors or genres, result in relevant answers every single time. Don’t just take our word for it though - our incredibly flexible search engine is popular with both boutique domestic and multinational OTT providers grossing billions in revenue.

IO
IO
IO from Cerberus Tech is a software-based live IP video switching platform. Operating point-to-point, or point-to-multipoint, the IP broadcast application allows for seamless switching between; RTP, UDP, RIST, SRT, RTMP and HLS delivery protocols. It can be scaled to unlimited outputs and used within a device, data centre or cloud environment.
IO utilises industry standard IP methods, for secure, reliable open delivery. It enables automatic switching between open video transport stream protocols, for in/out video and audio contribution and distribution. This allows users to seamlessly convert on-premises video traffic to cloud facing protocols. Featuring full management and monitoring capabilities via a simple and intuitive user interface.
IO was built using the application tool Docker, which accelerates development workflows with an integrated pipeline and consolidated application components. IO defines the environment in which the software runs, without limiting the user to specific operating systems or hardware. This allows for greater flexibility for users to deliver content securely to partner services, in any format including Remote Production, Channel Partners, Broadcasters, and CDN's as well as global head ends.
Compatible with any other device using the same standards, IO offers interoperability without the need for proprietary software. IO can be installed as a container on hardware, virtual machine or cloud environments, as well as behind organisational firewalls. IO can be used as either a sending or receiving device. Or it can sit in-between broadcasting devices, acting as a central hub for content distribution.
