AI-Media adds 4K LEXI Text and Voice encoders at NAB 2026
AI-Media has launched two new next-generation encoder hardware products, the LEXI Text Encoder and LEXI Voice Encoder, at NAB Show 2026. These encoders offer 4K broadcast readiness, upgraded processing power, and AI-driven capabilities for live broadcast workflows, marking the company's first new encoder hardware in over a decade. Alongside the new hardware, AI-Media is also introducing a Hardware-as-a-Subscription (HaaS) model and showcasing its integrated LEXI Suite of AI-powered language solutions.
Key Takeaways
- LEXI Text Encoder and LEXI Voice Encoder are AI-Media’s first new encoder hardware in over a decade.
- Both encoders are 4K broadcast ready with 12G-SDI support and upgraded processing power.
- LEXI Live Sync, formerly CCMatch, is included for timing alignment of captions and translations.
- LEXI Voice Encoder adds AI sound separation and noise clean-up for multilingual voice translation.
- AI-Media is offering a Hardware-as-a-Subscription model and three months free at NAB 2026.
Why It Matters
AI-Media is refreshing the hardware layer behind its live captioning and translation stack, moving from the Encoder Pro (HD592) to two new encoder products built for 4K and AI-heavy workflows. That matters because the encoders underpin its LEXI Suite, which includes LEXI Text, LEXI Voice, LEXI Translate, LEXI AD, and LEXI AI. The company is also pairing the launch with a subscription model, which changes how broadcasters and enterprises can buy the gear. Next to watch: uptake of the HaaS offer and the limited-time three months free incentive at Booth #W2142.
