New semantic searching, major Adobe Premiere workflow upgrades, and embedded AI services expand Dalet Flex into broadcast, sports and brand-led operations, while pushing users toward Agentic AI.
Dalet Flex LTS, a media workflow platform for content production, management, curation, orchestration, delivery and monetisation, is now available in a new release that improves ease-of-use, accelerates editing and collaboration workflows and includes AI capabilities designed to support agent-driven applications with Dalia, Dalet's agentic AI interface.
Dalet Flex LTS (long-term support) helps an organisation’s teams to design and adopt professional-grade media workflows, and is fast to deploy. Broadcasters and sports teams, as well as brands, agencies and marketing teams, can use Dalet Flex to ingest, create, manage and distribute media with enterprise-grade control, governance and performance.
"The new Dalet Flex updates make it possible to support media wherever it's created and distributed," said Aaron Kroger, Director of Product Marketing, Dalet. "That means expanding its use out across the broadcast enterprise to support more types of teams, workflows and content, without adding complexity.
“For marketing, brand and content teams, it has a simplifying effect on media production, giving users simpler tools to create, manage and reuse content with professional-grade tools. At the same time, this release introduces core capabilities that prepare customers for the next phase of innovation with Dalia." The intention is to support a wider set of team needs, including marketing and brand users, while preserving the depth and performance required by enterprise production environments.
Semantic Search
The Dalet Flex LTS release includes new semantic search functionality designed to make large media libraries easier to navigate and, as a result, more discoverable. Users can now find assets by meaning and context, helping to locate relevant content even when metadata is inconsistent or incomplete.
Semantic search is embedded directly into the application and supports multilingual discovery, allowing users to search across catalogues where content may be logged or tagged in different languages. Users can also combine semantic discovery with conventional, exact metadata filters, such as rights, region, format or resolution, enabling faster, more precise access to usable content.
"With semantic search, users no longer need to know the data model, the metadata schema, or which fields were used to tag content. They just describe what they're looking for. This is a fundamental shift; making it possible for a wider group of team members to find relevant content without training on the system's data model or relying on someone who knows where things are stored," said Erwan Kerfourn, Head of Product for Dalet Flex.
Embedded Dalet AI Services
Dalet AI Services are a new feature in Dalet Flex LTS, intended as the foundation for embedded AI capabilities that will be running directly within Flex environments, whether they are installed on-premises, launched in the cloud or exist as distributed deployments. Initial capabilities include built-in multilingual transcription, with additional services such as OCR, face detection and translations planned.
For organisations requiring extensive, complex metadata enrichment or indexing, Dalet Flex integrates with ecosystems and premium services of their partners, creating a flexible path from foundational AI capabilities.
This Dalet Flex release also serves as support for Dalia, Dalet's agentic workflow interface. The idea here seems to be to make it unnecessary for users to know anything very specific about Dalet’s software, or in fact about the data they are searching. They will just need to know how to interact with Dalia. Dalia is currently in live testing with early adopters, and will be widely available by mid-2026.
Dalet Xtend for Adobe Premiere Workflows
An upgrade to Dalet Xtend for Adobe Premiere workflows has been made to improve speed, mobility and reliability for editors working across distributed environments. New capabilities include an offline mode that allows uninterrupted editing during network disruptions, with automatic synchronisation on reconnection, and a streaming mode giving access content directly in Adobe Premiere without downloading full files or proxies.
New remote rendering workflows include intelligent job routing across Adobe Media Encoder resources, and other updates improve project handling, rendering and version control in Dalet Flex. These enhancements target sports, news and other production teams handling large files under tight deadlines, enabling faster access to media using less bandwidth and fewer manual steps.
UX Improvements
Dalet Flex continues to become easier and more efficient for a broad range of users to work with, from production professionals to content marketers. For example, UI refinements and new viewing options such as Dynamic Tile View allows users to adapt layouts for tasks like shot selection or high-volume browsing without repeatedly opening previews.
Enterprise Operations – IMF and Ingest Portal
Enhancements to core Dalet Flex LTS platform capabilities support enterprise media operations. These include improved handling of large-scale IMF workflows, which now address complex packaging and distribution requirements for high-resolution, HDR and multi-variant deliverables. The Dalet Ingest Portal with web-based scheduling is now available in the latest version as well, expanding secure and streamlined content contribution for distributed teams and partners. www.dalet.com
