EVS to Power IBC TV at IBC2014

Integrated live news workflow includes distribution to connected devices, 24/7

At IBC2014, end-to-end news solutions from EVS, the leading provider of live video production systems, will power IBC TV and their new round-the-clock live operations throughout the show.

“We’ve been collaborating with EVS for six years now and fully trusted that they could deliver our brand new offering, which focuses on more live content, including distribution to attendees smartphones, tablets and other devices,” said Sue Robinson, producer, IBC TV. “EVS is a trusted partner in this process, equally committed to providing a more enhanced live offering with ease, speed and reliability.”

Designed to enable IBC TV’s “content everywhere” programming at IBC2014, the workflow allows 24/7 online news delivery, accessible from any web-connected device. Programming will include live streaming, highlight packages and live distribution of HD signals to multiple screens within the RAI, as well as live coverage of conferences and exclusive live interviews.

EVS’s new XStore Production shared storage platform is central to this year’s workflow, giving multiple editors instant and secure access to all content.  XS media servers will be used for ingest and playout of all news feeds, including live studio interviews, as well as playout to all digital screens.

Multiple ENG crews will upload content shot on Sony XDCAMs using EVS Xedio Dispatcher for instant availability on both the XS server and XStore for editing with Adobe® Premiere® Pro CC, programme insertion and playout.
