EVS, the leading provider of live video production systems, is once again inviting visitors of IBC2015 to see the industry’s leading future-proof broadcast technology at stand 8.B90. This includes innovative IP technology, the best in cloud-based multimedia distribution, live replay content management and a new install for IBC TV.

As part of its commitment to offering clients increased operational efficiencies through new technologies, Gearhouse Broadcast will present a live remote production demonstration at IBC2015 in Amsterdam. The leader in television broadcast solutions will showcase the transporting of uncompressed video and auxiliary data through its IT-based DYVI switcher from EVS on stand 10.B39.

"Workflow efficiency is our broad theme at IBC2015. We'll be demonstrating several new innovations designed to make it faster, easier, and more cost-effective than ever to turn around stunning graphics presentations from creation to playout — whether our customers need to produce traditional graphics or ultra-high-resolution presentations for video walls, virtual graphics, or graphics in non-linear editing environments. For instance, Channel Box Prime now offers a high-performance foundation for future-proof channel branding and playout with unlimited creativity. And Studio MediaMaker brings unprecedented simplicity to production automation for smaller operations and on-demand content producers, as well as to larger networks that are expanding their local news and weather coverage."
