ENCO is set to reveal a groundbreaking AI-driven virtual anchor at the 2024 NAB Show. This state-of-the-art presentation will originate from a sophisticated 3D virtual news set, utilizing the latest in AR/VR/MR systems provided by Qimera.
This live production will leverage advanced generative AI technologies to create a highly immersive experience.
Experience the Future of News Production
The demonstration will take place at ENCO’s exhibition space, located in booth W1743 within the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, from April 14-17. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the cutting-edge virtual production environment that ENCO has developed in collaboration with Qimera.
A Leap in Broadcast Technology
The showcase at this year’s NAB Show marks an advancement from the previous year’s introduction of their partnership and virtual production capabilities. The addition of an AI virtual anchor, capable of delivering news with a natural voice, is a significant enhancement. This innovation is powered by ENCO’s new SPECai application, which utilizes generative AI for creating text and voice content. Through the integration with Qimera’s virtual production workflow, the system can automatically generate and deliver news stories with synthetic speech.
Simplifying Content Creation
Ken Frommert, President of ENCO, highlighted the transformative potential of combining AI with news production technology. He emphasized the system’s ability to automate the creation of engaging, localized content in real-time. The technology promises to streamline the content creation process, making it more accessible and user-friendly.
Advanced Virtual Production Environment
Qimera’s virtual production system simplifies the production process by integrating Unreal Engine graphics, NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards, and a comprehensive 3D asset library. The system features virtual cameras, both tracked and trackless camera systems, a 4-input switcher, and DMX lighting controls, all designed to produce realistic, real-time visual environments.
ENCO and Qimera Partnership
As Qimera’s sole distributor in North America, ENCO not only sells and markets Qimera’s virtual production technology but also integrates it with its own automation, studio production, and captioning solutions. The display at the NAB Show aims to highlight the extensive range of products and technologies offered by ENCO and its partners, showcasing the future of virtual news production.
