“EVS is very proud to receive the Emmy Award. The company has expended a great deal of time and effort in designing and developing servers that meet the needs of the most complex broadcast environments,” says Fred Garroy, General Manager of EVS Americas. “EVS’ HD super motion systems are a benchmark in terms of quality and reliability. This award shows that our work has been recognized and approved by the broadcast and production community worldwide.”

About Super Motion HD

Super motion cameras record at 100-120 Hz (two-phase camera) or at 150-180 Hz (three-phase camera). The camera capture results in smooth, flicker-free slow-motion and normal-speed HD images with exceptional details. The increased temporal resolution obtained this way enables slow motion replays of unequalled smoothness. Live feed shots generated by SuperMotion cameras can be controlled by slow-mo replay systems for high standard slow-motion effects.

XT2+ LSM integration with Super Motion cameras

The XT[2]+ server is an instant-access, disk-based video server with up to 6 in-out channels capable of simultaneous recording and playback. This tapeless production server is the foundation of a fast, reliable, and comprehensive broadcasting solution: users get the combined benefits of shared access to multiple video feeds, customizable and searchable metadata, and integration with third-party editing and finishing environments. Finished sequences are transferred back to the XT[2]+ and can then be played out to broadcast or sent to other distribution methods.

The XT[2]+ easily records, controls, and plays out media quickly and intelligently in live and near-Live environments, and allows multiple users to work simultaneously and instantaneously in network (from everywhere to anywhere), even while ingesting. The XT[2]+ native integration with all third-party tools drastically reduces wasted time.

DualPower technology and 3D SLSM integration

With the integration of the new DualPower technology, the XT[2]+ server can now be instantly configured for live 3D or 1080p operations, offering 4 effective in/out channels. 3D/1080p recording and playout can be managed in single link mode, based on 3Gbps connection, or in dual-link mode as 2 synchronized 1.5Gbps connections. In addition, the XT[2]+ platform offers the first-ever live 3D SuperMotion control, available for high-end live 3D replay operations.
