EVS’ expertise in live production control and speed is now accessible to studios working with XDCAM HD codec. In this purpose, EVS introduced an exclusive and innovative multi-codec support capability to its new range of XT3 and XS servers. This means studio broadcasters will be given the opportunity to benefit from the unmatched level of speed and control over live actions of EVS while supporting natively XDCam from ingest to playout.
