The three pillars
One solution.
Three fronts.
01
Live Remote Narration
Programs reach SHOWCASE studios, are narrated live by audio description specialists, and return ready for transmission with the final audio balanced — all fully remotely.
02
Audio Processing
During audio description moments, the main program sound is automatically attenuated by –3 dB, ensuring better intelligibility of the narration without compromising the viewer's audio experience.
03
Browser Control
ShowMeet occupies only 1 RU and is controlled through a graphical web interface, with dBFS, dBU, and dBVU meters for real-time audio monitoring. Management is also available via SNMP.
Narration and accessibility
Audio that
includes everyone.
Audio descriptions are inserted in the natural pauses of dialogue, delivering a fluid experience that respects the program's rhythm and expands access for blind people.

SHOWCASE specialists narrate any programming live — news, sports, entertainment, and more.
