EVS Selected For The Production Of IBC TV News

IBC has selected EVS' News Production Suite including its renowned non-linear editor, CleanEdit 3.00, for the tapeless production of the IBC TV News.
The integrated system will be operated on-site in the Production Village (Hall 9) for the production of the IBC HD news programmes during the show from 11 to 15 September.
EVS instant tapeless technology will control the entire news production workflow of the daily news programmes, from breakfast and midday news flashes, broadcast on IBC TV News channel, to web-streaming, mobile content and video podcast. The content shot onto JVC tapeless camcorders will be recorded onto EVS servers.
The process of ingest and clip creation will be managed by the EVS scheduling module of IPDirector.
Thanks to the powerful XNet(2) high bandwidth media sharing network, live streams, logged files and clips will be made instantly available on any CleanEdit stations to search content and start building the edits even while recording.
Editors working on one of the three CleanEdit non-linear editing stations will prepare their HD news programmes, including all required transition and video effects as well as direct voice-over recording capabilities. These CleanEdit 3.00 virtual editors will maximise the production speed and efficiency of the IBC TV News thanks to the NLE's native multi-format capabilities with no need for a transcoding process.
All of the content, including final edits and raw material, will be kept available seamlessly on all EVS servers including XT(2), XS and XStore(2) for the whole duration of the show, allowing editors to browse and use them at any time.
An additional Apple Final Cut Pro station will be used for specific post-production operations. Final Cut Pro operators will be able to browse and transfer final edits from CleanEdit as well as any clips recorded on the XT(2) server for their needs. Once created, all final edits will be sent to the newly introduced EVS XS server configured for playout to IBC TV News channel and multimedia delivery, including website streaming, video podcast, mobile content and more. Rundown actions and playlist control will be managed by the IPDirector production playlist.
Sue Robinson, Producer, IBCTV News, said: "We chose EVS systems because of their native integration with our other equipment, not to mention the known reliability of EVS' software and hardware.
"The IBC TV News is the top place to showcase quality, reliability and efficiency and we knew EVS' Production Suite was up to the task."
Pierre L'Hoest, Chief Executive Officer at EVS, said: "We are delighted that IBC TV News has selected EVS Instant Tapeless Technology for such a key occasion. This is a fantastic opportunity for EVS to demonstrate to the broadcast industry how it has been able to turn its unique experience in fast-paced production environments into efficient tapeless news solutions."
The IBC TV News will be broadcast to more than 9,000 hotel rooms in Amsterdam each morning before being transmitted worldwide and will be repeated during the day at the RAI exhibition centre. IBC TV News is produced on site at IBC in the new Production Village, situated in Hall 9.
