DNAV Brings End-to-End Broadcast Solutions to NAB Show 2025
Posted on Friday, March 28, 2025

“Our main theme at NAB this year is end-to-end solutions for broadcast, along with central monitoring,” said Nick Straka, Principal, DNAV. “While some large operators have an NOC to centrally manage and monitor their facilities, many regional and smaller groups do not. DNAV, together with hardware solutions from SAS, Orban, Inovonics, and our own in-house development, can bridge that gap.”
The company’s newly announced SAS Transmission Router will be fully operational at the Orban booth, demonstrating real-time connectivity with SAS consoles and engines at the SAS booth. Visitors will see how the press of a single button can instantly adjust transmission routes at a remote site, reinforcing DNAV’s commitment to more efficient ways of broadcasting.
“The SAS Transmission Router dashboard provides operators with a clear, real-time view of their signal paths,” said Straka. “With a single login, engineers can monitor and adjust their entire transmission chain, ensuring stations stay on-air even in the face of technical issues.”
The SAS Transmission Router reimagines the “endpoint” device that performs simple switching functions in RF and NOC environments as a smart device. An extension of the SAS Global Connect universal command and control system, the SAS Transmission Router is equipped with intelligent software for situational analysis of network and infrastructure performance.
DNAV is redefining technical operations for radio stations, providing a full-service approach that replaces traditional on-site engineering teams with scalable, cost-effective solutions. “The days of all but the largest markets having a dedicated team of two or three engineers onsite are in the rearview mirror” Straka commented. “DNAV can take the lead on a company’s technical operations, managing everything from the microphone to the antenna with 24/7 monitoring. Our extensive research in PPM watermarking ensures we maximize ratings decode confidence while keeping any impact on audio quality to a minimum.”
