EVS Invests In TinkerList

EVS has announced its strategic investment in TinkerList, a Belgian company aiming to make live broadcasting more intuitive, reliable, and productive.

Tinkerlist is a leading innovator in the media production industry, having developed Cuez - the World's First Cloud-Based Rundown Management System – as a cutting-edge web application and automation system designed to connect seamlessly with a wide variety of production devices. The company aims to significantly improve production efficiency across the industry.
Integrated Pre-Production Workflows: A Growing Necessity

Pre-production workflows are increasingly linked to live productions, and TinkerList emphasises the importance in adopting efficient digital tools to streamline operations across the production chain, ensuring consistency from the time a production is planned to post-production and archive while allowing dynamic changes to cope with live conditions.

Erik Hauters, CEO of TinkerList, expressed his enthusiasm for the recent developments, stating: "We are happy to have the means and the support of EVS to achieve our vision, closing the gap between the writer’s room and the technical broadcasting environment. This investment will allow us to further extend the scope of our application to increase its relevance across a wider set of productions, while maintaining the same level of simplicity in usage. The strengthened partnership will help us to expand globally, thanks to EVS’s direct and indirect worldwide footprint. Moreover, this investment from a solid broadcast leader demonstrates the sustainability of our company."

With over 30 years of expertise in the broadcast industry, EVS recognises the value that TinkerList brings to the market, especially in terms of optimised user experience. This focus aligns perfectly with EVS's DNA, particularly among production teams striving to deliver high-quality media productions efficiently and affordably.

Serge Van Herck, CEO of EVS, explained: "We are very proud to become a shareholder in such a promising and innovative company that re-invents the way to produce live content. EVS now owns an important minority stake in Tinkerlist, allowing the team to remain independent and autonomous while supporting their growth and ambitions."

TinkerList's SaaS products will be integrated into EVS's asset management and flexible control room solutions, broadening the scope of EVS's offering to customers worldwide.
EVS is convinced that Cuez is not only suitable for premium live productions, but also for media productions in general. With this investment, EVS will indirectly leverage the growth of media production beyond the broadcast market segment, further supporting innovation and entrepreneurship in the industry.
