ENCO’s heritage began in 1983 by providing computer-based process control for critical industrial applications. Building on our expertise in automation technology and an in-depth understanding of challenges faced by television and radio broadcasters, we focused on applying computer-based automation to broadcasting. ENCO adopted the concepts of computer-controlled automation found in high-tech factories and applied them to the broadcast studio. In 1991, ENCO’s first digital audio delivery system, DAD, replaced error-prone manual CART systems commonly used to sequence and play audio content. DAD increased flexibility and productivity for broadcasters and enabled trouble-free automated formats that could run for an hour, or for days without intervention.

Read how AI-based technologies are changing the captioning and translation landscape in education. 👇
There is an education evolution as AI-based technologies are changing the captioning and translation landscape in the classroom. Bill Bennett from ENCO Systems shares his thoughts. #ProAV #SCNMag #AI https://lnkd.in/e6ypVuEE
Campus Captioning: How Universities Are Making Accessibility Standard 🎓 Universities have a unique challenge: massive diversity of venues, varying technical skill levels, accessibility requirements that actually get enforced. Campus Captioning Approach: Flexible Deployment → Compact Device. Moves between lecture halls and classrooms as needed. Scales without duplicating costs. Predictable Cost → Unmetered pricing models keep costs consistent, no matter the use. Proven Platform → One reliable solution, flexible across different venues and audio setups. IT staff isn't overwhelmed. Accessibility is built in, not bolted on. BYOD Access (optional) → Students scan QR code, captions appear on personal device, no dedicated displays required The Technical Foundation: Runs on #ENCO's #enCaption platform—the same AI-powered system broadcast engineers trust. Custom word libraries for academic terminology. Speaker identification automatic. Transcripts generated real-time. Designed to integrate with diverse audio sources found in campus environments. Why This Matters:. Universities aren't adding captions as a retrofit anymore. They're architecting accessibility into infrastructure updates and new builds from the planning stage. Other sectors (corporate campuses, government facilities, healthcare networks) are discovering the same approach. Campus Captioning deployment questions? Our team loves talking through AV scenarios.

AI in the Classroom: Where It Actually Matters 🎓 Our Bill Bennett wrote about applying AI to improve language accessibility and comprehension in education. This isn't about flashy AI demos. It's about students hearing lectures in their language. Deaf and hard-of-hearing students accessing content. Diverse learners retaining information better. Real problems. Real solutions.

Occasionally pontificating on matters that matter, my article on applying AI to improve language accessibility and comprehension in the classroom came out today. While we all like adorable imagined cat videos, this is one example where AI can really make life better. Please enjoy.
