CloudCap Delivery Network for Captioning Unveiled at NAB Show by ENCO
Las Vegas, NV - Here's the lowdown on ENCO's newest offering at the 2025 NAB Show!
ENCO is throwing down a game-changer with their new cloud relay service, dubbed the CloudCap Delivery Network. This bad boy establishes a secure connection to on-prem captioning workflows, enabling third-party remote stenographers and captioning services to operate seamlessly in live broadcast environments. It's like building a bridge direct to ENCO's DoCaption closed caption encoders, giving third-party captioners unrestricted access to broadcasters' workflows.
The CloudCap Delivery Network's debut is perfectly timed with the availability of ENCO's DoCaption EN848 closed captioning encoder, introduced at NAB New York back in October. This baby is now shipping, providing broadcasters with a reliable, automated tool for converting and delivering captions and translations, whether produced in-house or via external services.This means broadcasters can leverage cloud-based captioning services like those offered by ENCO's partner Verbit.
The EN848's primary function is to securely and compliantly insert closed captions from any source, thanks to its dual connectivity options. Broadcasters can even deploy redundant captioning workflows with immediate failover from cloud to on-prem generated captions should connectivity to the cloud service drop. Talk about a failsafe solution!
Third-party captioners connecting via CloudCap gain instant access to the encoder's user interface for configuration, bypassing traditional firewall configuration challenges. With the connection established, human captioning services and AI-powered systems can listen to live audio streams and return a compliant data stream for live broadcast. ENCO DoCaption encoders support a broad range of closed captioning specifications, including CEA-608/CEE-708, Teletext/OP47 ancillary data, and standardized and legacy communication protocols.
To top it off, Ken Frommert, ENCO's Prez, stated, "Our new EN848 encoder was designed with CloudCap and our enCaption all-in-one captioning solution in mind to provide our customers with more freedom and choice while ensuring they remain protected through a secure and fully redundant solution. Besides ensuring 24/7 on-air compliance, we can offer broadcasters a single source of support across their entire closed captioning workflow."
The EN848 is a sleek 1RU solution featuring a software-defined, FPGA-based ultra-low latency SDI captioning encoder and inserter. It's powered by human or advanced speech recognition (ASR) sources, both on-prem and in the cloud. For on-prem workflows, the EN848 offers a specially engineered built-in server to process ASR sources from enCaption systems.
You can find ENCO at W1743 in the West Hall during the show. Don't miss out on this game-changer in live captioning!
