Award-Winning Solutions
aiTrack represents a fundamental evolution in broadcast content creation. The newly announced cloud-native platform enables broadcasters to generate, customize, and schedule AI-driven audio segments from a web browser, removing infrastructure barriers while maintaining broadcast-quality output. Advanced foundation prompt templates simplify complex AI workflows, while voice cloning technology—derived from ENCO's SPECai platform—delivers natural-sounding audio across multiple languages and voices.
SPOTai provides a workflow for creating video advertisements tailored for TV, digital media, social platforms, podcasts and streaming environments. The platform uses generative AI and large language models to convert text descriptions into visual content. The final product being a 1080P video that is ready for use within minutes.
Qimera makes virtual production accessible to broadcasters of all sizes. The Unreal Engine-based system delivers real-time compositing, green screen integration, and broadcast-quality output without the complexity typically associated with virtual production technology. Live demonstrations at NAB Show 2026 drew consistent crowds as attendees experienced how quickly production teams can deploy professional virtual environments.
enSpeak a new real-time voice translation solution that converts voice into any other languages in real time, giving users the option to listen to content in their chosen language in addition to reading captions.
"What stands out about this year's recognition is the diversity," Frommert continued. "Four different products. Three different publications. Radio, television, and production applications. That's not a single breakthrough—that's a comprehensive technology portfolio addressing real broadcast challenges across the industry."
