CONSOLIDATING IN OUTSIDE BROADCAST GROWING IN ... - EVS

eVs TeCHNOLOGIes
& APPLICATIONs
a strong integration between its performing and reliable technological platforms, a
wide range of applications and a top quality service, here are eVs’ fundamentals.
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.
neW variations
Since recently, this modular platform is also available in other variations for the clients:
··· 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.
··· xT[2]+, new evolution of the Xt[2] server, available in 6, 4 and 2 channels configuration, SD
or HD mode. It includes reinforced internal storage (with a new generation of hard drives),
increased total storage with external capacity of up to 20 tB per server, support of more
codecs (including Dvcpro 50 and Dvcpro HD), and enlarged bandwidth by more than
25%.
··· xTnano is an entry level 4-channels server. Designed for live sport productions requiring
simple workflows, Xtnano is the perfect toolbox for essential high-speed operations with
maximum reliability and flexibility.
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 arrival 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.
