At IBC 2009 Amsterdam, EVS will raise the curtain on its new HD/SD modular solution for news and sports production, named XEDIO. The new brand integrates the latest version of EVS’ renowned non-linear editor, CleanEdit 3.00.

XEDIO is designed for fast production of news and sports, in any studio environment. Thanks to its unique scalable architecture, XEDIO can adapt to any type of multi-format HD/SD broadcast production infrastructure, covering all aspects of the workflow, such as feed acquisition, file ingest without transcoding, virtual production and editing, central media management, as well as direct playout with no need for prior rendering.
 
“XEDIO is built to quicken the pace of news and sport broadcasting production, so that you can eliminate unproductive operations and enhance the quality of your content,” said Pierre L’Hoest, CEO of EVS.
 
Xedio consists of a modular application suite, including CleanEdit 3.0, EVS’ non-linear editor and new hardware for multi-format HD/SD encoding and playout.
 

XEDIO combines all the advantages of a software-based system in terms of multi-format support, integration with third-party systems (NRCS, archiving, automation, MAM, post-production, ENG file-based camcorders), and control, with the highest level of speed and reliability acquired over 15 years in live sport production.
 
With the introduction of XEDIO during IBC2009, EVS fills the industry gap for fast and efficient timeline editing with XT[2] and XS production servers in sports and news.
 
“XEDIO combines speed and reliability from EVS’ legendary Sports Technology with the most advanced software applications for News production,” said Robert Bury, General Manager Business Unit XEDIO.
 
XEDIO has been selected by the IBC organization for the tapeless production of the IBC TV News. The integrated system will be operated on-site in the Production Village (Hall9) for the production of the IBC daily TV HD news programs.
 
XEDIO will be demonstrated at the EVS stand during IBC2009, Hall 8, B90, from 11th to 15th September.
