SatBroadcasting: Teaming Up For Production Flexibility Are DNF + EVS


EVS + DNS server + controller DNF Controls and EVS Broadcast Equipment are joining forces to provide a high-performance server and controller combination for live production. As the industry continues the transition from VTR’s to servers in the production control room, EVS has met the need with the XS, an innovative, intelligent server designed for studio applications.

Though able to emulate a VTR with Sony BVW75 RS422 protocol, the XS goes beyond simple VTR replacement by offering the recording of multiple video and audio feeds, as well as for instant control and playback operations. XS is designed for flexible and reliable playout of roll-ins, graphic + key fill and other media. Built with EVS’s unique loop recording, fast-paced live productions never miss the perfect take. With the beneficial cost performance of multichannel capability and EVS’s Instant Tapeless Technology make the XS the ultimate VTR replacement solution.

The power of the XS is fully unlocked by DNF Controls2044CL Clip Instant Access Controller. The 2044CL gets clips to air fast with the touch of just one very powerful button. Load a single video clip, a fill clip/key clip combination, or six channels of clips. Use the 30 Shotbox keys to access up to 300 single clips or multiple clip combinations. The 2044CL offers fast, simple, precise, reliable, and repeatable control over the XS in the fast-paced broadcast and production environments. Merge prerecorded video clips with live production, harness the power of monitor walls and other display systems, and load and play news segments, graphics, animations, highlights, and promos. The EVS XS and DNF 2044CL combination are the ideal high-performance choice for live production― sports shows, live special events, talk shows, awards shows, game shows, news and concerts.
