DAD is a complete playout solution scalable from the largest multinational television or radio broadcast application to small closed-circuit systems found in professional sports venues. DAD is a third generation software system built upon ENCO’s proven and widely accepted family of products in use at thousands of facilities worldwide.
Running on standard off-the-shelf PC hardware, DAD’s complete toolkit allows broadcasters to implement an audio delivery and automation system that precisely meets their needs. Combining rich functionality of multiple reproducers or “players” and recorders, flexible array panels, and user-defined hot keys, DAD enables broadcasters to optimize performance for their specific requirements.

DAD (Digital Audio Delivery) Demo
This stream is originated on an ENCO DAD instance hosted in the StreamGuys cloud. DAD supplies all the in-stream metadata, including mid-roll ad replacement and song info (album, artists, title). The mid-roll ads are dynamically inserted server-side by AdsWizz Audioserve, which is also hosted in the StreamGuys cloud. SGplayer displays information that the listener cares about – artist, song, album art and previously played.
If this was a terrestrial radio station, AdsWizz could be used to simulcast ads to listeners in the same market and replace ads for out-of-market listeners.
