At the NAB Show, ENCO will introduce deeper integration of its DAD system with WebDAD’s remote workflow.
“ENCO will show how built-in WebDAD functionality simplifies and improves on-air and production workflows by extending DAD’s reach to more places through a scalable and affordable architecture,” it said in a press release.
ENCO’s WebDAD platform allows users to manage and control studio-based ENCO DAD radio automation systems remotely.
The company has added several features to WebDAD. Notably, DAD’s Presenter on-air interface is now accessible to remote operators.
WebDAD also now offers more granular control over user permissions, including controlled access to libraries, functions and systems. ENCO also has added support for third-party accessibility, simplifying usability for people with impairments or disabilities.
President Ken Frommert said ENCO will show how WebDAD “now packs the power of DAD into a lighter platform, with the flexibility to control their on-air systems within the local studio or in the cloud from a web browser. We are actively turning the broadcaster’s local DAD infrastructure into a global on-air and production network.”
He said ENCO also sees an opportunity to slim down the in-studio automation infrastructure as the company deepens WebDAD’s integration within the DAD framework.
The software company will also unveil the integration of AITrack for voice tracking and dynamic content insertion within the DAD and WebDAD architecture. AITrack is one of two AI applications that ENCO previewed last year at NAB. Frommert said it has evolved since then from a simple automatic voice track application to a multifaceted AI production toolset.
And ENCO will demonstrate SPECai, a tool that uses generative AI to create spec ads with human-sounding voices within seconds.
