EVS shows XT2web Web browsing and clip-making solution (29/9/2008)

EVS, a leader in digital broadcast solutions and especially in live sports production, has announced that it will be showing a new Web browsing and clip-making solution, the XT2web, at IBC 2008.

The XT2web is a combined web and broadcast solution that offers fast and easy access to clips and associated metadata combined with a series of intuitive browsing and clip-making features. The XT2web enlarges the production scope of EVS live and near-live production systems, such as the XT[2] server and related software applications.

"EVS has become a mandatory element to live sports production worldwide," said Pierre L'Hoest, CEO of EVS. "With this new concept, EVS can now offer broadcasters the ability to access the world of live sport production from almost anywhere. Today, most live OB vans have EVS XT[2] servers, recording hours and hours of sport content. Our idea in developing the XT2web was to add new dimensions to live production, making those hours of content, including unseen camera angles, clips, and feeds, available through a web production page."

The XT2web improves any live, news, or archiving workflow by providing new browsing and production capabilities and enhancing content management with complementary access tools, which allow access to both live and archived media. XT2web allows users to download clips in low resolution formats for further editing of new media (like 3GP, QuickTime, Windows Media, etc.) for sending the media to broadband and websites. Users can also use the XT2web to download packages in high resolution for direct editing on non-linear editing tools like EVS' CleanEdit, Avid Media Composer, or Avid Final Cut Pro.

Other capabilities that the XT2web provides are clip-review, advanced search based on metadata, playlist and package creation, and remote clip contribution.
