For the largest regional broadcaster in the Netherlands, this was not merely a technical replacement, but a strategic decision. ","Omroep Brabant chooses Helmut","As a digital-first organization, Omroep Brabant primarily produces for online channels, with radio and TV acting as internal consumers. This requires a flexible, platform-oriented workflow in which content can easily be exchanged between teams, formats and channels. This was exactly where the old environment was increasingly reaching its limits. \n\nThe move was driven by two main factors. On the one hand, there had been growing demand within the newsroom for working with Adobe products. A new generation of editors and journalists is trained at school using the Creative Cloud suite, making Adobe Premiere Pro a logical and familiar working environment for many new colleagues. On the other hand, the existing Avid environment was becoming less aligned with today’s production requirements, particularly when it came to multi-format workflows in native resolutions. \n\n\nBottleneck \n\nOmroep Brabant had worked with Avid Interplay and Media Composer for more than ten years. The platform was stable and offered strong media management capabilities. At the same time, the organization was locked into the in-house XDCAM HD format in 16:9. For vertical productions, editors had to work with crops and overlays in the timeline just to properly see what they were creating. In addition, the old setup was limited to a height of 1080 pixels. For an organization producing daily content for multiple platforms and aspect ratios, this became an increasingly significant operational bottleneck. \n\nWhen selecting a new environment, Omroep Brabant explicitly did not want to compromise on the level of control it was accustomed to from Avid Interplay. It was essential that all media within projects and timelines could continue to be properly managed. At a minimum, the new environment needed to register where media was being used, by whom and in which context, while also supporting automated media management. \n\n\nProject management \n\nFor that reason, a project group was formed to shape the transition away from the Avid ecosystem and to standardize the Adobe-based production workflow. During this process, several PAM and MAM solutions were evaluated. Key requirements included strong project management for collaborative production, asset tracking at project level, support for a digital-first model with extensive exchange of projects and media, integration with the existing Dalet Galaxy 4 MAM, and broad automation capabilities. \n\nThrough Vocas, Omroep Brabant was introduced to Helmut4. This was followed by an extensive proof of concept together with MoovIT, during which Helmut4 was tested against Omroep Brabant’s real-world requirements. Based on the results, the decision was made to implement Helmut4 as the new Production Asset Management layer within the video production platform. \n\nWith Helmut4, Omroep Brabant gained a central environment for project and asset management, aligned with an organization in which productions no longer “belong” to a single editor but are shared between newsrooms and departments. Especially in combination with Cosmo, a component of Helmut, Helmut4 makes it easy to take over timelines from one another and convert them for other platforms. In doing so, the system directly supports the online-first strategy in day-to-day operations. \n\n\nReliability \n\nA second major gain lies in automation. Whereas many media management tasks were previously performed manually, Omroep Brabant can now use Helmut4 to build and tailor workflows itself according to the needs of each department. This is already happening within Adobe Premiere Pro and will later be expanded further to After Effects and Audition. Among other things, the organization is automating tagging, archiving and other forms of media management, reducing the number of manual steps and increasing operational reliability. \n\nWithin Premiere, strong emphasis has also been placed on standardization. Editors log in via Active Directory, allowing rights and settings to be centrally managed. In Premiere, they work with predefined templates in which the correct timeline settings, graphics and exports have already been configured. Motion Graphic Templates are made available per production via Helmut4, while export destinations and Media Encoder settings are also predefined. In practice, this immediately saves time: users have faster access to the right elements for their edit, make fewer mistakes and deliver more consistent final outputs. \n\n\nFlexibility \n\nWhat truly differentiates this setup is its support for multi-format workflows in native resolutions. From day one, the environment has been configured so that multiple formats can be handled within a single project. In addition, a 4K proxy workflow has been built between Vantage, Dalet and Helmut4. As a result, vertical videos, for example, can be produced in the highest possible quality, while editors in Premiere retain the flexibility to create different framings within shots. Moreover, the process from ingest to final output is now fully progressive, whereas previously the workflow often still ended up using an interlaced codec, resulting in quality loss. \n\nIntegration with Dalet Galaxy 4 was a hard requirement. Omroep Brabant had decided to first acquire a new PAM and only then, in a separate project in 2026, reassess the MAM landscape. Precisely for that reason, Helmut4 had to connect seamlessly with the existing Dalet environment. Through middleware, Helmut4 has been linked to Dalet Galaxy, ensuring that production and project workflows are properly aligned and making it visible which media is still in use within projects. This gives both Helmut4 and Dalet better insight into what needs to be retained and where automated cleanup can take place. \n\n\nAdoption \n\nThe transition naturally involved risks as well. From a technical perspective, the implementation proved manageable, because it had been clearly defined in advance what the new environment needed to deliver and because it could be built alongside the existing Avid environment. Ultimately, the biggest challenge was not the technology, but adoption. Not all colleagues had previously worked with Adobe. An internal team therefore spent several weeks providing intensive training and guidance. That approach proved successful: even employees who were initially apprehensive about the transition ultimately responded positively to the new way of working. With the new environment, Omroep Brabant now has a production platform that is better aligned with the reality of modern content production. ",1778645970545]
