Enco will bring its latest innovations for radio and television broadcasters to IBC2026, highlighting an expansive portfolio of intelligent technologies that simplify workflows, reduce operational demands and help media organisations achieve more with fewer resources. The company will demonstrate its latest advances across five key areas – captioning, translation, AI production tools, automation and virtual production – on stand 7.A34.
Several solutions will make their IBC debuts as Enco demonstrates how broadcasters can apply AI, cloud technologies and intelligent automation across the content lifecycle. Highlights include the next generation of ENCO’s enCaption technology, the European debut of its enSpeak real-time voice translation solution, new AI tools for television and radio, and the IBC debut of the latest Qimera Virtual Production innovations. Together, Enco’s IBC showcase reflects an expanding technology ecosystem designed to make sophisticated broadcast workflows easier to deploy, operate and scale.
Enco will demonstrate its enCaption suite for automated, highly accurate live captioning, with an emphasis on the next-generation enCaption Sierra platform. Sierra represents the future direction of the company’s captioning technology, offering flexible on-premises and cloud deployment while bringing continued improvements in language support and accuracy. Enco will also showcase its Raptor cloud captioning encoder, extending the company’s captioning capabilities for modern IP and cloud-based broadcast workflows.
Enco extends accessibility from captions into multilingual text and speech through enTranslate and enSpeak, with enSpeak making its IBC debut. enTranslate transforms live captions into multilingual text translations in real time, while enSpeak adds natural-sounding, low-latency voice translation so audiences can hear programming in their preferred language.
The company will also preview a new AI-powered video solution that automatically identifies and extracts compelling segments from long-form programming for repurposing across social and digital platforms. It will also demonstrate SPOTai, which rapidly generates professional video advertisements for television, digital and social media; SPECai, its AI-powered radio advertising platform for producing broadcast-ready commercials in seconds; and aiTrack, its cloud-native, automation-agnostic platform for generating, localising and scheduling dynamic AI-driven audio content for on-air radio.
Enco returns to IBC with its DAD radio automation system alongside its VDESK system for visual radio and video production applications; as well as its streamlined A-LIST TV automation system. The three systems reflect the company’s broad automation and production footprint across radio and television, giving broadcasters flexible options to streamline daily operations, reduce repetitive manual intervention, and extend automated efficiencies across modern multimedia broadcast environments.
Finally, Enco will showcase Qimera, its Unreal Engine-based real-time 3D compositing platform for immersive virtual environments, augmented reality graphics and dynamic live productions. Qimera will be complemented by a whisper-quiet robotic pan/tilt head engineered to precisely position larger camera and lens payloads while supporting VISCA over IP control.
“Broadcasters everywhere are being challenged to do more with less, and Enco offers intelligent, easy-to-use technologies to caption and translate content, create and repurpose programming, automate daily operations and produce compelling live television and radio broadcasts,” said Ken Frommert, president of Enco. European broadcasters operate within very specific staffing and business guidelines, so technology that simplifies workflows and enables smaller teams to accomplish more can have an immediate impact. Our IBC showcase demonstrates how Enco is applying AI for audience accessibility and automation/production tools to help broadcasters work more efficiently and increase audience size.”
