Software updates can slip under the radar. We’ve collected the industry’s latest to make sure your tools are ahead of the curve SOFTWARE
A SUBTLE FLEX
DISGUISE SCALES UP
Media logistics solution Dalet Flex has updated to include Alibaba cloud support, a new thesaurus and enhanced search capabilities, making it easier to manage and locate content. Dalet Flex’s presence has increased within the industry, and Dalet has been focusing on the solution over the past year, enabling content producers and distributors to scale content supply chains. Flex supports hybrid and full-cloud workflows, and with quarterly updates ranging from significant workflow enhancements to administrative fine-tuning, there is always something new to discover.
Visual experience platform Disguise has announced a major software release involving cluster rendering. The update allows users to scale out their real-time content rendering in parallel, as their productions increase in size. Disguise selected a group of global partners to pressure test the release into their workflows. Aiming to lift the limitations surrounding virtual production studios, cluster rendering spans real-time content over more than one Disguise server, and each machine then renders a fragment of the final content frame to increase the overall render power. This technology removes the need for manual configuration of the
nDisplay cluster, since it allows it to be automatically set up through the Disguise interface. Almost a year after supporting Katy Perry’s virtual performance on American Idol , Disguise also issued the public release of its Extended Reality solution as part of the r18 software launch.
POWER TO THE PORTAL
Cantemo’s MAM system Portal 5.0 is here, with new features offering greater user control, elevated content insights and an overall improvement in user experience. The latest version has a refreshed interface, including enhanced auditing capabilities, as well as more control over the data associated with content. The audit wizard enables users to create and schedule new audits at set intervals. Scheduled audits can send notifications to both an associated email account and notifications in Portal, allowing users to download audits as a JSON, CSV or XML file. Cantemo CTO, Martin Fellbrink, says: “Portal users need to access content for different reasons, so system functionality must cater to the individual. These updates offer more customisation, with tailored search options, so users can find items in a more intuitive way.”
XCHANGING NOTES
ENHANCING ECLIPSE HX
Primestream has unleashed updates on its Xchange MAM system, enabling access and logging of ‘growing files’ from live broadcast feeds during recording. This is vital for news companies, given the increase in demand for remote workflows. “There’s the flexibility to create and customise the solution with smart workflows as your needs evolve over time,” says Primestream customer success manager, Felipe Gonzalez. Producers used to have to wait until the entire program was ingested before content could be accessed and logged in Xchange. The updates resolve this, increasing efficiency for pre- and post-production.
Clear-Com has made quite a name for itself in the world of IP-based intercom solutions, recently revealing Eclipse HX updates, with version 12.1 hitting hard drives in April. “By facilitating greater functionality for existing customers with legacy E1 transceivers, while simultaneously offering next-level IP support, Clear- Com underscores its commitment to its users,” says senior product manager, Stephen Sandford. With enhanced capabilities for IP and legacy wireless FreeSpeak systems, increased density of IP ports and more Layer 3 capabilities, EHX features a 5GHz radio band scanner to assist with channel selection.
