Gearhouse Upgrades EVS Fleet

Gearhouse Broadcast has upgraded its 115-strong fleet of EVS machines across its locations.

The upgrade includes migrating all of Gearhouse's EVS kit to the latest 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and will see each eight-channel XT3 production server fitted with onboard low res proxy recording. All EVS equipment will also have the latest XFile 3 software, enabling content to be manually or automatically archived from EVS servers to transportable hard drives. This means they can restore content from hard drives to EVS servers.
Gearhouse is also investing in the first 4K licensed XT3 server and all of its OB trucks will have C-Cast, the platform that enables users to connect live content with production teams, accredited teams and final viewers for second screen applications. C-Cast also connects on-site TV production infrastructure to a cloud-based platform.
The upgrade also brings additional tools to Gearhouse's EVS equipment that include the C-Cast Xplore live content web-browsing interface and OpenCube MXF server and media interoperability software applications.
Gearhouse Australia Sales and Marketing Director, Manny Papas, said: "This EVS upgrade puts Gearhouse Broadcast well ahead of the curve. We are aligning all 115 EVS machines in our fleet to the very latest EVS workflows making us one of the biggest EVS providers in the world and giving our clients access to the very best production tools available."
Executive vice president, EVS Sports Division Luc Doneaux, said: "This unique upgrade of EVS equipment ensures Gearhouse Broadcast's customers will have the most powerful production and editorial tools for delivering content in a faster, more efficient, more polished and streamlined manner.
"These tools are particularly relevant in the world of live sports, events and entertainment. It also means Gearhouse will be one of the most seamless OB companies in the world as with the latest upgrades and workflows, the amount of operators required is significantly reduced due to the efficiencies of the system."
