NAB Show: Evertz Highlights Latest Innovations For Remote And Live Productions

At NAB 2022 in Las Vegas, Evertz will show a suite of innovative tools that are designed to simplify remote and live productions, leaving broadcasters free to focus on telling greater stories that connect audiences with content in more meaningful ways.

Among the products Evertz will highlight at NAB (April 23-27) in Booth N5907 is its XPS Live 4K/UHD/3G/HD Video Encoder & Decoder Series, a real-time video streaming platform that is designed for mission-critical applications. Available in a variety of form factors, this software-defined next-generation UHD live encoder platform can be used for encoding/decoding over IP networks and is ideal for live or cloud-based applications where security, high quality and low-latency are essential.

Supporting SRT, RIST, Zixi and other transport protocols, XPS Series provides broadcasters access to reliable, low-latency encoding over public networks, low-latency remote monitoring of broadcast facilities, and on-ramp/contribution encoder facilities for cloud production or playout hosted by public cloud providers.

DreamCatcher BRAVO Studio collaborative live switching platform, which gives operators a virtual environment that looks and feels like a traditional control room, has added even more advanced features to help make operators feel comfortable producing shows in the Cloud. By combining access to all inputs with web-based interfaces, BRAVO Studio can be used for any production, regardless of its size or scale. This, too, will be demonstrated at NAB, where broadcasters involved in live sports, gaming and entertainment programming can discover its full range of features including video/audio mixing, dynamic graphics, support for external graphic engines, replays, and highlights.

Nima Malekmanesh, Evertz director of business development, live media, said: “As the industry leader in this area, we recognize that high quality, cost effective and data-driven storytelling will be a core driver for broadcasters over the coming months and years. The products we are showing at NAB 2022 cover all aspects of this market, giving broadcasters access to a versatile and powerful toolkit that will help them minimize costs and maximize resources as they produce and distribute live content.”
