Marking the company’s first new encoder hardware release in over a decade, this milestone builds on the proven success of AI-Media’s industry gold-standard Encoder Pro (HD592), trusted by broadcasters and enterprises worldwide. The new solutions deliver powerful performance upgrades, advanced AI-driven capabilities, and a flexible subscription-based model designed to transform live broadcast workflows. Built for the evolving demands of live production, both encoders combine high-performance hardware with intelligent automation to deliver greater efficiency, scalability, and quality across broadcast environments. Next-Generation Encoder Highlights: 4K Broadcast Ready (12G-SDI) – Engineered for high-performance live production with full 4K support. Upgraded Processing Power – Future-proofed hardware designed to support increasingly complex AI-driven workflows. LEXI Live Sync (formerly CCMatch) – Configurable timing alignment ensures captions and translations remain perfectly synced with video feeds. Flexible Integration – Designed to work seamlessly across SDI, IP, and cloud-based workflows within the AI-Media ecosystem. The LEXI Voice Encoder further enhances multilingual workflows with advanced AI sound separation and clean-up, isolating speech and removing background noise to optimise audio inputs for high-quality voice translation. AI-Media is also introducing a Hardware-as-a-Subscription (HaaS) model across its encoder range, including the new releases. This approach eliminates upfront capital expenditure and provides customers with a scalable, cost-effective way to access the latest technology as their needs evolve. As part of its NAB 2026 presence, AI-Media is offering a limited-time incentive, with customers able to secure three months FREE, enabling immediate access to next-generation technology while reducing upfront costs. At NAB 2026, AI-Media will also showcase its full LEXI Suite, an end-to-end ecosystem of AI-powered solutions designed to enhance accessibility, engagement, and global reach: LEXI Text – Industry-leading live captioning; LEXI Voice – AI-generated multilingual voice translation; LEXI Translate – Real-time language translation; LEXI AD (Audio Description) – Enhanced accessibility for visually impaired audiences; LEXI AI (Insights) – Actionable data and performance analytics. Visitors to the AI-Media booth will experience how the LEXI Suite integrates seamlessly with the new encoder technology to deliver a unified, scalable solution for broadcasters, enterprises, and content owners. In addition, attendees can experience AI-Media technology across NAB through partner installations, including collaborations with AudioShake, Grass Valley and NVIDIA, demonstrating high-performance, AI-enabled workflows across the broadcast ecosystem.
