Today, Ken Frommert, president, ENCO, discusses making high-quality communication and content creation more accessible, scalable, and practical for everyday use.
SCN: What is your company’s story at InfoComm this year?
Ken Frommert: ENCO is focused on expanding accessibility and multilingual communication across modern AV environments. We will highlight our in-room and classroom captioning solutions, our new enSpeak voice-to-voice translation platform, and the latest advancements in Qimera Live Virtual Production on Booth N8024.
What ties these technologies together is the idea of making high-quality communication and content creation more accessible, scalable, and practical for everyday use. Whether it’s a classroom, corporate meeting, live venue, or hybrid event, organizations are seeking better ways to engage increasingly multilingual audiences.
We will also show how ENCO’s broadcast-grade expertise translates naturally into Pro AV. For decades, broadcasters have relied on ENCO for highly reliable captioning and automation workflows, and now we’re bringing those same capabilities to AV integrators building the next generation of communication and event spaces, including their own broadcasts
SCN: Why is InfoComm such an important show for you and your company?
KF: InfoComm connects us with the broad range of AV professionals and end users shaping modern communication experiences. We meet systems integrators, educators, corporate technology teams, courts, houses of worship, transportation providers, and live event professionals all in one place.
The AV industry is evolving rapidly and becoming much more content-driven, immersive, and broadcast-like in its expectations. Organizations today want production quality that matches what audiences see in television, streaming, and live media environments. ENCO helps make that possible through our captioning, translation, respeaking, and Virtual Production technologies.
For us, InfoComm is also where new use cases emerge. Every year we discover additional ways our technologies can improve accessibility, multilingual engagement, and content creation workflows across virtually every AV vertical.
SCN: What do you expect the buzz to be on the InfoComm 2026 show floor?
KF: AI will certainly be a major conversation at InfoComm, but from ENCO’s perspective the bigger trend is how AI is enabling more accessible and efficient communication experiences. We see growing demand for multilingual engagement, real-time translation, and accessibility tools across every type of AV environment.
Another major trend is that virtually everyone is now a content creator. Corporations, universities, classrooms, houses of worship, and live venues are all producing content daily for both in-room and remote audiences. That creates new demand for captioning, translation, transcription, and repurposing content into multiple languages and formats.
As content creation expands everywhere, accessibility has to expand with it. We believe AV systems will increasingly be designed around inclusive communication, where audiences can consume information in the language and format that works best for them. That’s exactly where ENCO’s technologies fit into the conversation.
SCN: What is enSpeak and why is it important for potential new Pro AV projects?
KF: enSpeak is ENCO’s new real-time voice-to-voice translation platform designed to help audiences hear presentations, meetings, classes, live events, and announcements in their preferred language with extremely low latency. It combines AI-powered speech recognition, translation, and natural-sounding speech synthesis into a seamless workflow.
What makes enSpeak especially important for Pro AV projects is that audiences are becoming increasingly multilingual and globally connected. Whether it’s a classroom with international students, a corporate town hall with worldwide employees, or a live event serving diverse attendees, communication accessibility is becoming a core system design consideration.
enSpeak works alongside ENCO’s captioning and translation ecosystem to provide both spoken and on-screen multilingual communication. Integrators can deploy it in cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments, giving organizations a flexible way to create more inclusive and engaging AV experiences across virtually any venue or application.
