Visitors to the floor of the spring NAB Show saw evidence that
manufacturers have not been idle in the years since the pandemic hit. In
this issue we feature the winners of the Radio World “Best of Show.”

Are FM6 stations just a regulatory end run? Or do they provide a true local radio service? Maybe both? James O’Neal concludes his three-part Radio
World series about the next generation of Franken stations. The topic is
also on the FCC’s meeting agenda this month.

And apps for radio technology products for your phone or laptop from Burk, ENCO, RCS, Tieline, WinMedia, Comrex and Telos Alliance.

WebDAD 3.0 Is More Than a Remote Desktop

Posted: 08 Jun 2022 02:00 AM PDT https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/buyers-guide/webdad-3-0-is-more-than-a-remote-desktop


Each month, Radio World’s Buyer’s Guide section looks at new products in a specific category. This month we look at apps for radio technology.

New from ENCO is WebDAD 3.0. Bill Bennett is media solutions and accounts manager at ENCO.

Radio World: What are you highlighting for stations to allow them operate
part of their workflow remotely?
Bill Bennett

Bill Bennett: ENCO is releasing its new WebDAD 3.0 browser-native control
for its flagship DAD automation system. It’s more reliable and responsive than simple “remote desktop” alternatives. WebDAD allows direct control of a station’s DAD system from a web browser on the station’s local area network or around the world via the internet.

RW: What are its key capabilities?

Bennett: WebDAD 3.0’s completely modernized user interface redesign is more intuitive and streamlined, with contextually aware elements and a visually appealing dark- or lite-mode interface. Further, it’s been optimized for speed, using forms which are reactive, reducing the need to re-enter information.

WebDAD 3.0’s user security now has greater levels of granularity over permissions, allowing users to only access and modify DAD features they’re allowed to touch, while users with certain impairments or disabilities can
now enjoy native support for third-party accessibility assistance tools available via their browser or computer. 

WebDAD 3.0 is based on the same groundbreaking disaster recovery
capabilities that the core WebDAD product enables, including the ability to edit libraries and playlists, add new content, perform voice tracking and
more, as well as allowing users and programmers to access a DAD backup
instance in the Cloud, or at an alternate data center, just as if they’re accessing the main studio DAD systems.

RW: Can you give examples of who is using it?

Bennett: Many customers have adopted WebDAD, including WIHS of the
Connecticut Radio Fellowship and NPR Member Station KDNK based in Colorado. Stations already using our DAD system have seen tremendous value in being
able to control the station remotely. 


RW: Are there misconceptions you’d like to dispel about the product or
remote workflows in general?

Bennett: For people who haven’t had the pleasure of using modern web browser-based applications lately, they’re in for a big surprise. Modern designs like WebDAD are more reliable, more reactive to how the user is interacting with it, and more appealing by employing better color schemes
and responsive design methods that scale to properly fit the browser size. Moreover, browser-based applications mean users of different operating
systems can now access their DAD system, whether from a Mac, Linux or any modern version of Windows.

RW: What else should we know?

Bennett: With ENCO’s new DAD-DR offering, those cloud instances can even be continuously synchronized between studio and cloud, to keep all libraries, playlists and logs in sync, as well as host an IP feed to the transmitter
and streaming CDNs.
