News: from Field Editing to Central Newsroom Production

Field Editing
At IBC2011 EVS will present a new edit-in-place feature available on the Xedio CleanEdit. With this new feature EVS’ non-linear editor can link up with solid-state camcorders, including the Sony XDCAM® SxS, so that journalists can instantly visualize recorded material and start editing without importing the media.

Local News Production
For local TV stations looking to speed up and secure their news production EVS has developed Xedio Flash, a new all-in-one news production package available in a single rack. 

End-to-End News Production Workflow
EVS will be presenting its end-to-end news solution based on a modular architecture that easily adapts to specific news production requirements and any existing infrastructure, such as ENG devices, craft editors, archive and newsroom control systems.
