One of the worlds leading digital audio delivery (DAD) specialists Enco has appointed TAG as exclusive Australian agents. Widely used in the USA, the most common use of Enco software is as a replacement for on-air tape and CD playback systems in radio and TV stations.
In its simplest form the Enco systems provide a digital cueing and delivery of material stored on hard drive. In addition to playback the Enco DAD systems offers fingertip access to easy-to-use editing, random access playback buttons, and powerful organisational and library management functions.
Operating on standard and commonly available computer hardware and network architecture the Enco DAD systems provide a wide range of flexibility and scalability from single stand alone workstations providing simultaneous automated on-air and production capabilities, to multi-workstation networked systems servicing larger facilities. Enco DAD is proficient in global wide area networks, permitting the transparent sharing of data between geographically diverse sites, and satellite or internet based networks permitting the management of any number of unmanned down-link or remote sites from a single host location.
“We are delighted to have TAG on board as our Australian partner,” commented Enco VP, Sales & Marketing, Don Backus. “TAG’s strong commitment to ‘getting it right’ for their customer is exactly the approach that has served us so well in other parts of the world,” said Backus.
Far from an unknown quantity in Australia, Enco DADpro32 is already in use at Seven Network’s new digital broadcast centre in Melbourne—used for on air music and voice-over replay in the production control rooms. Seven have networked two systems together so that audio clips and user set-ups created on one system can be seamlessly recalled by the other. This networkability also extends to third party audio systems so that audio clips from voice over booths or audio post can be transferred to the Enco DAD for rapid replay to air.
