Adder Technology (Booth N951)

Adder Technology is showcasing how high-performance IP KVM is transforming control, visibility, and resilience across modern broadcast and live-production environments. As workflows continue to shift toward distributed and hybrid models, its solutions enable operators to seamlessly access and control systems across multiple locations without compromise to performance or user experience, critical for live sports and event production.

Real-world scenarios are being demonstrated: live production, postproduction, multi-site operations and control rooms. Visitors are able to experience ultra-low latency, pixel-perfect video feeds and scalable, secure access to mission-critical systems essential for today's fast-paced time-sensitive broadcast environments.

In live sports production where teams work across stadiums, from production trucks and a range of remote locations, maintaining reliable and real-time access to systems is vital. The company's IP KVM technology ensures that operators can respond instantly, switch between a range of sources, and fully control workflows regardless of where they are based.

KVM and system control can be further enhanced by incorporating built-in APIs. This not only boosts KVM features but also ensures smooth integration with existing workflows, third-party solutions, and applications, which is crucial for broadcast sectors reliant on efficient server access, management, and video-wall control.

Recently expanded API capabilities in the ADDERView Matrix product range enable customers to take full advantage of dynamic API control, unlocking greater flexibility and seamless integration across wider broadcast ecosystems. A key feature of the API capabilities is remote and automated management, enabling users to execute commands and trigger workflows without physical intervention. This supports more-efficient and scalable remote operations in broadcast-control rooms.

The APIs allow connectivity with a wide range of systems, including video walls, HMI automation tools, security systems, and IT service-management platforms, all essential for broadcast operations.

In addition, users can tailor KVM behavior to meet specific operational requirements and expand functionality across multi-site or hybrid infrastructures. The APIs adhere to standard protocols such as RESTful APIs over HTTPS and the OpenAPI Specification (OAS), offering users the flexibility to build, automate, and control their broadcast environments as needed.

Adder's expanded API offering is designed for custom control, simplifying IT workflows, enabling control-room access, and embedding IP KVM into mission-critical broadcast processes. Unlocking new possibilities with minimal overhead allows broadcasters to fully leverage their IT infrastructures, setting a new industry standard.

Adder is offering an exclusive preview of upcoming developments in its remote-access KVM-over-IP portfolio. Visitors to the booth can explore the innovations and speak with the team about how the solutions are designed to address real-world challenges.

AI-Media (Booth W2142)

AI-Media is debuting two major innovations: LEXI Text Encoder and LEXI Voice Encoder,- purpose-built solutions designed to transform how live content is delivered and experienced by global audiences.

LEXI Text Encoder builds on AI-Media's globally trusted flagship Encoder Pro (HD492), bringing next-generation performance to real-time caption encoding and delivery. With 4K-ready capability, seamless cloud connectivity, and a secure, future-ready architecture, it enables broadcasters and content owners to meet growing demands for accuracy, compliance, and scalability.

Extending beyond captions, the LEXI Voice Encoder introduces real-time multilingual voice translation with ultra-low latency, allowing live content to be delivered in multiple languages with natural-sounding commentary synchronized to the action. Powered by GPU acceleration and advanced AI-driven audio separation, it ensures clarity even in complex live-production environments, such as sports, opening new opportunities for global fan engagement.

Both encoders are designed for seamless integration into existing workflows, supporting 4K/12G-SDI environments, real-time processing, and secure cloud-based operations. With built-in LEXI Live Sync, they ensure precise alignment between captions, audio, and video. Together, they expand AI-Media's LEXI ecosystem - an end-to-end platform for captioning, translation, and accessibility - enabling content owners to scale globally with confidence.

Visitors to the booth can experience both encoders in action, alongside AI-Media's broader suite of AI-powered solutions for voice translation, captioning, and audio description.

To mark the launch, AI-Media is offering an exclusive NAB Show promotion: customers who sign up at the show will receive three months free on LEXI Encoder subscriptions, providing a flexible, low-risk way to get started. (Terms and conditions apply; speak to the AI-Media Team on hand for details.)
