EVS TECHNOLOGIES & APPLICATIONS EVS designs video technologies for outside and studio broadcast production. At the core of every successful business lies a solid and reliable foundation to build upon. In the world of digital broadcast television and motion pictures, EVS Broadcast Equipment builds products that constitute this foundation. With its roots in TV sport production, EVS has redefined live broadcasting, with tapeless solutions based on advanced production and play-out servers, along with their related software applications.
The core EVS server, known as the XT[2], has developed into the fastest (reactive), most reliable, and most utilized broadcast tool for live production, and now completely dominates the live production marketplace. The intimate partnerships developed between the EVS team across the globe and the world’s leading broadcasters have led to significant development around its core foundation. Empowering the XT[2] platform with a multitude of software applications has given broadcasters the ability to manage, control, browse, edit (non-linear, of course), and orchestrate the ingest of digital media across a complete network of interconnected XT[2] servers.
EVS recently launched the XS server, new production server specifically targeting the studio segment. Combined with the new Insio application, it allows the production of pre-recorded programs (including TV series and games) to save time and increase efficiency.
The EVS tapeless technologies have driven OB vans, studios, broadcast networks and virtually all content production to new heights, leading the way for newly embraced technologies such as high definition television. With the advent of this new format, EVS has increased the reputation of reliability and performance of its servers, with the leap from standard definition to high definition being seamless.
Today, EVS offers a wide range of hardware and software solutions dedicated to production markets in outside broadcast (live sport events, entertainment shows, stadiums, concerts, etc.) and in studio environments (sports news, live shows, series, reality TV, theatres, etc.):
- live slow and super slow motion, with 3 times more images per second;
- highlight editing while recording;
- video delay (time differences and problems of ethics) and play-out control;
- fast non-linear editing;
- multi-channel play-out;
- ingest, logging and browsing;
- file format conversion;
- storage, archiving and backup.
The XT[2] modular platform or the new XS production server, combined with the numerous applications and the broadband network, meets the needs of live mobile productions and studio productions, particularly with multi-cameras.
