Update For EditShare Geevs Announced

EditShare has announced an update for its Geevs X10 broadcast I/O solution.

The solution is designed to integrate with the EditShare Flow media asset management, XStream EFS scale-out shared storage, and Ark archiving to complete an end-to-end workflow with tools to manage ingest, distribution and station playout for programs as well as fast-turn for news and sports.

The new hardware delivers speed improvements for managing frame rates, complex codecs and status graphic overlays. The Geevs X10 boasts a compact design and multi-threaded CPU, which can support up to eight streams of AVC-intra in 1080i (4/4 configuration). The new sleek chassis features six-caddy media RAID 6 drives for local storage and is equipped with two high-speed 10gig network ports as a standard configuration.

Furthermore, the Geevs V7 software update supports MOS channel selection from the rundown, plus support for multiple variations of Apple ProRes, including 1080p25, 29.97 and 30 fps, which complements the existing 1080p50, 59.94 and 60 fps supported formats.

New templates enable capture and playout of the AVC-i 50 MXF OP1a format. Geevs Simple Delay has also been reintroduced to support channel +1 playout, a feature that facilitates one hour time-shift of a main service channel.
