EVS GX Server Opens to Wider Range of Vision Mixers

EVS fill & key playout server GX V1.1 now available with Odetics protocol

The EVS GX server is a 1U HD/SD fill and key playout server designed to integrate with existing hardware which is present in today’s broadcast control rooms and trucks. The GX Server offers instant recall and playback functionalities for a significant number of audio/video clips and graphics using standard protocols implemented in most modern mixing desks. With the new 1.1 release, the server can now import even more graphic file formats via RS422 VDCP or Odetics protocols. End of 2011, GX server will be able to see and import the clips of the XT/XS series servers.

Different media formats can be imported from the built-in DVD drive, from an external USB or eSATA hard drive or from the network through GigE ports of the GX Server. The EVS GX server is also capable of handling audio files which can either be embedded into the media file or associated with files manually. Once associated, files can play once as a loop or in a nested loop. To sustain the bandwidth required for uncompressed HD graphics, the GX Server uses a high performance internal RAID storage based on solid state technology offering instant recall and large storage space for multiple clips.
