Dalet Flex 2026.3.0 Release Notes

Dalet is excited to present the release of Dalet Flex 2026.3.0.

This release of Dalet Flex provides the new features, quality and security enhancements, bug fixes, and other changes listed below. 

Technical Information and Versions 

Required Versions for FlexXtend

• DaletPremiereImporter: 2.0.21 
• OREO: 2.0.72

Dalet Flex

New Features

Support Thumbnail for UDOs (BE and FlexMAM)

From this version of Dalet Flex, you can upload an image to display a thumbnail on UDO assets in FlexMAM. The thumbnail is displayed on the parent UDO in Tile View and in the UDO Manage page. 

A new Thumbnail tab has been added to the Summary panel for all existing and new UDOs. Use this tab to upload a thumbnail for the UDO. The thumbnail file must be < 2MB.

NOTE: In version 2026.3.0, a UDO can only support ONE thumbnail. To change the thumbnail, you must delete the existing thumbnail and upload a new file.

Currently, thumbnails are only displayed for parent UDOs.

For backend support, a REST API for thumbnail support for User Defined Objects (UDO) has been added. 

Use the API to:

• Create and modify UDOs with support for thumbnails – use the Base64 format for the image
• Retrieve thumbnail file details – thumbnails are stored in the account Keyframe storage
• Create/update the details of the thumbnail file
• Delete existing thumbnail for a UDO

NOTE: Deleting a UDO instance does not delete the associated thumbnail – the thumbnail can be retrieved via api.

Display Markers on Timeline in Manage Page

From this version of Dalet Flex, you can display Custom Markers on the Timeline on the Manage page of an asset. Use this boolean Consul KV flex/flex-fmp-app/displayMarkersOnTimeline to enable/disable displaying the markers on timeline.

When this KV is set, an additional area showing information about markers is displayed above the audio tracks.

Each marker type has its own color that is configurable in the Metadata Designer for each Marker (Timeline) Type. Marker types can be assigned to a Group and can have customized icons assigned to them.

You can use the filter to display particular types of markers.

Each marker type is displayed on a separate line. Overlapping markers in the same timeline area, they are grouped together with a number that shows how many markers there are in that time range.

Groups of marker types are grouped together in the same section. The row corresponding to a group of markers does not show any content, only the rows corresponding to actual marker types display markers.

Enhance audio track selection and labels in Timeline

From this version of Dalet Flex, you can:

• Select and preview individual audio tracks by clicking on the speaker icon 
• Multi select audio tracks in Timeline using standard Ctrl/Cmd+ Click and Shift+Click while clicking on the speaker icon
• Edit individual track labels

NOTE: To enable multi select with  you MUST click on the multi select icon, .

Load FlexMOVE with Inbox and Workspace preselected

When inboxResourceId and  workspaceID are passed in the URL, FlexMOVE opens with the Inbox and Workspace automatically selected in the drop down list. For example:
/fmp/transfer?inboxResourceId=1022&workspaceId=50

Support search queries with special characters

From this version of Dalet Flex, to support search with special characters, add “ “ around any search query that includes special characters.

List of validate special characters: / ? * < > ( ) . $ % ! ^ & # [ ] { } 

NOTE: In a quoted search query, ? and * are considered as wildcards.

Configurable taxonomy search result limit 

From this version of Dalet Flex, you can use a KV to configure the number of search results displayed for these typeahead fields:  taxonomy dropdown, UDO dropdown and Enterprise object variables, such as users, assets, actions.

Use kv flex/ flex-fmp-app/flexFormConfiguration and set the values:

{
    "optionSize": {
        "taxonomy": xxx,
        "udo":yyy,
        "enterpriseVariable":zzz
    }

Default value (current behavior): 10, Minimum value: 10, Maximum value: 50.

NOTE: After adding the KV, flex-fmp-app microservice MUST be restarted.

Add support for OIDC (OpenID Connect) in Flex Login App

From this version of Dalet Flex, you can configure Okta as an OIDC provider for Dalet Flex and users created in the Okta IdP can log in to Dalet Flex. They are created as External users and are authenticated by Okta every time they login to Dalet Flex. A complete article explaining the configuration will be published on Zendesk. 

Support NRAW and Nikon RED Technical Metadata Extraction

From this version of Dalet Flex, FSP is upgraded to support NRAW and Nikon RED Technical Metadata Extraction.

Dalet Cut

New Features

Forward audio scrubbing

In Dalet Cut, you can now scrub audio frame by frame forward.

Using Shift + drag the playhead or Shift + Right/Left arrow keys, you can scrub audio at the playhead position. Each frame under the playhead is played sequentially forward, one frame at a time. When scrubbing with Shift + drag, the frame under the playhead is continuously looped for precise audio inspection.

Add feathering to Dalet Cut effects

The blur effect has been improved to mitigate sharp edges by adding feathering. The amount of feather effect can be adjusted by the slider. Feathering effect is an effect in itself, applicable to a segment but also applicable to other related settings, such as Blur.

Align Header bar on Dalet Cut with other Flex applications

The Header in Dalet Cut (Flex) has been aligned with the Header in other Dalet Flex applications. These elements have been added:

• Wizard launcher
• App switcher
• Help icon

Ingest Portal

New Features

Support Role Permissions for Ingest Portal

In Dalet Flex, new object types and APIs to support granular permissions for Ingest-related concepts have been implemented:

• Ingest Site
• Ingest Source
• Ingest Target

These object types can be shared via ACL and are workspace supported. The APIs support the standard permissions model in Dalet Flex and Role permissions for Ingest Portal objects are stored in the permission.xml file and are displayed in the Permissions tab of the Role.

NOTE: Ingest Site Admins can view all Ingest Sites configured in an account to which they have access regardless of which workspace the Ingest Site belongs to or whether it has been shared via an ACL.

Support managing FIFO recordings from Ingest Portal (MVP)

Dalet Ingest Portal, in conjunction with Dalet Brio, introduces FIFO recording, also known as continuous recordings. You can now initiate FIFO recordings on a source as well as extract content into Dalet Flex. In this release, the management of FIFO recordings for BRIO from the Ingest Portal has been implemented, with the ability to schedule extractions from the Portal itself, without preview, in blind mode (just defining start time / end time). FIFO will be managed in this phase only from the Source view.

A FIFO feed is represented by the continuous line on its track.

The administrative configuration of the loop recording is not part of the current feature.

The system handles multiple FIFO sessions without quality and performance degradation and the FIFO state is preserved if Dalet Brio restarts.

NOTE: Brio FIFO recording is not available for InStream

Flex Xtend

Open project created in Dalet CUT (Flex) in FlexXtend

From this version of Dalet Flex, you can save a sequence in Dalet CUT and import the sequence directly into Adobe Premiere through FlexXtend. When you save the sequence, an .aff file is created and you can import the project directly to Adobe Premiere in high res and proxy mode. When you import a Dalet CUT project to Adobe Premiere, DLT files for the source media are downloaded to Adobe Premiere.  

NOTE: Double click on the sequence in the Premiere media bin to add it to the Timeline.

Update setting in Flex Xtend panel

From this version of Flex Xtend, the Check in Mezzanine Format EPR setting has been renamed Check in Format EPR and is used for both partial and non-partial check in.
