EVS continues to expand its workflow capabilities for live HD productions with the new integration between its production servers, XT[2]+ and XS, and Omneon’s MediaGrid™ content storage system. EVS XT and XS series servers combined with XTAccess , EVS’ gateway software and watch folder solution, allows to exchange with Omneon’s MediaGrid™ active storage system for fast and seamless access to high volumes of HD media in live and near-live broadcast productions. During live operations, HD Live audio/video feeds are recorded natively on XT/XS series servers as Avid DNxHD®, DVCPro HD or Apple ProRes® codec files. IPDirector, EVS’ content management system, is used for live and near-live HD video ingestion, production and playout operations. Media content from EVS servers is made available for post-production on Omneon’s MediaGrid™ storage system. The content is transferred as self-contained MXF OP1a files via XTAccess, EVS’ intelligent gigabit Ethernet network gateway. EVS Operators can capture and manipulate the video content from the Omneon MediaGrid™ storage system for production and playout on the EVS server.
