EVS Broadcast

EVS

EVS manufactures live outside broadcast digital video production systems.Its recorders have become the dominant standard for broadcasters worldwide. Their XT production platform enables the creation, editing and exchange of video files.

The company states that over 5,000 operators of all nationalities now use their applications on a daily basis.

EVS has achieved substantial success in compressed video and audio data processing, and is endeavouring to maintain their market position in the migration from analogue to digital in television networks.

Tapeless television production

The programming of the television networks consists primarily of broadcasting prerecorded images which, until very recently, were stored on tapes. But linear editing (or editing on tape) is being replaced by digital media. Today, digital technology on hard disk (non-linear, by definition) is the common alternative. There has been clear confirmation of a migration towards this technology for some years, even though it will still take another 5 to 6 years or so for the hard disk penetration rate to increase from 30% to 70%. Television stations began migrating to tapeless interoperable computer platforms beginning in the late 1990's. Video recorders are rarely used nowadays for live productions. EVS type digital media servers are the norm in Broadcasting.
